You are SO close!  Feeling anything yet?

I know!! I can't wait for her to come out.  Doctor said I am 80% effaced which means nothing really, but we are going in Thursday for induction regardless.  My back started really hurting the past couple of days, but no contractions.  Just.waiting.

You may have already said this but why the induction?

janedoe09

I have lupus and had a stroke (long ago) and TTP.  They just don't want me to go past a certain date.  I wish I do it naturally, but want to be safe too.  I'm going for acupuncture on Monday, she said maybe she can induce me naturally.

Ah!  Don't worry about induction - I was induced.  They took it slow, I came in at 6 AM, they broke my water at 7 AM and gave me piticon at 8 AM.  I had Dayne at 8:01 AM the next day.

Yeah I"m not too worried.  She's coming out one way or the other!

I can't wait to see pictures of her!    So exciting.

Do you have a toy for your daughter like the one in your ticker (the red/green alien thing)?  Because I feel like she should have it.  )

 Funny you should ask.  This is the first thing I bought for the baby, I was probably 5 or 6 wks pregnant.  It's ugly and I love it!
