We no longer have to wait and wonder when the baby is coming! I had my 40 week appointment today and my blood pressure was great (again!). The baby is still doing really well and put on quite a show for the nurse (moving around like crazy). The doctor said I am still not progressing on my own and therefore scheduled me for an induction. I am scheduled to go to the hospital tomorrow night at which point they will administer cervidil and wait until the morning to give me pitocin to induce labor. Hopefully everything progresses nicely, my blood pressure stays under control and we'll have a baby by the end of Wednesday. There are other possibilities too! Wednesday morning if things are not progressing and my blood pressure is ok they could send me home hoping labor will progress there. The other alternative is that if my blood pressure is high and things are going too slowly then I could have a c-section. We're praying for a smooth induction without being sent home and no c-section!! We are both really excited that we are really close to meeting our little baby!!!
