Too Has a Birthday... (unless it comes earlier) :)
Update: For the record, that was my very first ever moblog/pix-flix post! (yeah, I'm a little behind the times on that one)I set it up so I can sneak in blog updates from my cell phone in the hospital when the nurses aren't looking.
So yeah, the doctor's appointment went well, as you can see.
I went in, got weighed... somehow didn't gain anything for the second week in a row. I think this calls for an extra Bergers cookie tonight after dinner, frankly.
After that it was the usual pee in a cup, listen to the heartbeat... for some reason, we skipped the tummy measuring and went right into the invasive stuff. Ouch. BUT... we discovered I am ONE CENTIMETER DILATED!! Hey, I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's a whole centimeter more than I was last week... which made me eligible for the early eviction program. ;) WOOHOO! It all happened very quickly. The nurse handed me a paper to sign, then gave me the other paper (shown above) with all the instructions on it. Then she told me to be there at 7a.m. next Wednesday! Yay! I was induced on a Wednesday with Ben too and I had THE most awesome L&D nurse for the whole day. She wasn't around for the delivery because I took too long, but I'm hoping I get her again this time. :)
She also added, "If you don't go before then!" which apparently she thinks there is a chance of. I had mentioned I've been having contractions all day and a ton of pressure and whatnot. So we'll see. As long as it's not Sunday or Monday, I don't really care if I go on my own or make it to the induction!
So that's that. There is now very bright light at the end of this acid reflux-filled tunnel. :D

RATS! Missed it by 1 day. Oh well, still holding out hope you'll go on the 15th. Laney will pass on her one day older big sister advice to Ben. :)
Congrats on the date!!! Let the countdown begin!

Your doctor let you get induction orders for bfore you due date?! Lucky. Mine told me at my 40 week appointment that we would talk about it at the next appointment. This is going to really put a wrench in my baby pool guess.
She told me any elective induction could only be done after 39 weeks and only if there was definitive progress at the 38-week appointment. Doctors do things so many different ways... another blog reader of mine got induction orders at her 37-week appointment for 38 weeks!!! Others make you go to your due date and then talk about it... I wish they were consistent!
