Friday's the day!

Yes, Friday is the day we'll be having our beautiful baby. I went to see the doctor today and he said I'm still at a one, haven't progressed at all really since last time. So, based on all of that and the fact that my due date is this Friday, he asked me what I'd like to do. I told him how, even though it sounds childish and selfish, I really had my heart set on having her before the month ended. He said that that was fine, and explained that induction puts the mom at risk for having a c-section, but that if I was induced now, my risk of c-section would be the exact same as if I waited until next Monday (40 1/2 weeks, which is the longest he'll let me go). So basically, he said what it came down to was if I wanted to get it over with now, or wait it out and say "oh well, I waited as long as I could". I told him I'd like to wait a little longer, to see if she'd decide to come on her own, but that I'd really like to have her before the month was over. He said that that was perfectly fine, but that they didn't do inductions on the weekend, so my options were inducing Tuesday for a Wednesday baby, Wednesday for a Thursday baby, or Thursday for a Friday baby. I chose Thursday for a Friday baby, that way she'll be born when she's supposed to be and I won't feel so guilty being induced. Plus, I'll have given it a few more days to see if she decides to come on her own. I really hope she decides to come on her own, but if not, I'll know that I atleast gave it a full 40 weeks. Plus, I've been so horribly swollen lately that I'm pretty much done waiting. I've had lost of aches and pains, and the swelling is pretty much unbearable at this point, so I'm ready for it to be all done. And, you never know, a lot can happen in 3 days, I may just have her on my own! Either way, I'm going to keep praying that no matter what, all goes well. I want a happy, healthy baby with no complications more than anything at this point. So, we'll see what happens by the end of the week. Wish me luck!!
