Wish Me Luck! - *MIL Update*
We go in for induction tonight at 7:30. They'll do cervidil tonight and then start pitocin in the morning if I haven't started contracting on my own. I'm nervous, but ready to have an outside baby. This is so not how I envisioned it though. I keep telling myself that all that matters is that he and I are both healthy.
I actually feel like I need more luck with the MIL drama. Last night MIL told DH that they couldn't decide if they would drive up today or tomorrow. He kept telling her that we want a few days at home by ourself after the hospital before they come and we likely won't get home from the hospital until Friday. I was in tears by the time they got off the phone and couldn't sleep last night. She said that she will call back today. I'm going to have it out. She can come next Monday. If she comes before then, she is staying in a hotel. If she refuses and is at our house when I get home from the hospital, I will pack up the baby and go to a hotel myself and never forgive her. Showdown at the OK Corral at high noon.
UPDATE: I called MIL. The conversation lasted about 2 minutes. I told her that we wanted a couple of days after we got home from the hospital to bond as a family and that they were welcome to come next Monday. She said okay. She just wanted to be here if we needed her, but understood and would come on Monday. It sounded like she was tearing up and she got off the phone very quickly. I feel bad for upsetting her, but this is what is right for our family and I'm sure I will not regret this decision -- even if I am now the "bad" DIL. Such a relief. Maybe now my body will relax and bring on some contractions! Natylon we will keep you posted!

Good luck!!! I had the cervidil when i was induced for my son. I started contracting a couple of hours after i had it.
Also good luck with you MIL. Hopefully she will listen to you and your DH's wishes about waiting to come.
Good luck!
