Still here.
I am ALMOST 4cm.
If I had been at 4cm my Doctor would have gone ahead and sent me over to the hospital to have a baby.
But I'm not at 4cm. I am ALMOST 4...which is apparently not the same.
Question:
Isn't the difference between 4 cm and ALMOST 4 cm like....a couple of millimeters? I mean, ONE centimeter is 10 millimeters, right? So what is the big diff between being a couple millimeters?
I'll tell ya what the difference is.
It means Mean Meg will be around for a couple more days.
It means no baby brother here yet.
It means I ate yummy lunch at Jerushia's instead of ice chips.
It means I ignored your phone call today if you were one of the 9 people that called for a "labor update" between 9 and 11am.
It means I probably threw the phone after I listened to your voicemail.
And it means I have to wait until Thursday morning when doc agrees to induce Big Willy.
I kind of feel like I'm forcing him outta there and that I should wait until labor starts naturally. THEN I refer to my lovely pregnancy book, and read the part about how "early labor is from 1-3 cm...and true labor has begun at 4cm. Where does that put me if I'm at ALMOST 4? Am I right to induce? Is he still cooking, or is my uterus just stubborn to give him up? I feel a small amount of guilt for rushing the process.
The other half (the uncomfortable half) says, "HEY CRAZY, this baby is only gonna get bigger, and you are out of vacancy". And considering the fact that Aaron starts a new job on Tuesday (when we had PLANNED to induce), we're thinking the sooner the better, because it will give me a little more time with Aaron home to help with the girls while I recover.
May 21st it is.
Updates Soon...

Good luck! And there is nothing wrong with being induced, especially when you're already at a 4 (well almost!)!! I like to think of inducement as kind of like an appointment I put in my calendar. You know when it's coming and you can plan a be ready for it. So anyway, good luck!!! Can't wait to see pics!
See - here I am! Liz was induced 10 days early with Eden in March and it went quite smoothly. She was also induced with Nathan two years ago with great success. And like I said on FB - May 21st is our anniversary and it will be a great celebrating day for the rest of his life!
"Mean Meg" lol
Good luck Meg! Can't wait to see the newest Willardson!!!
I liked being induced, I felt that was right for me...so if you feel like that is what is best... Good luck!
Good luck with everything tomorrow. I can't wait to see pics of your little guy and the proud big sisters.
