Baby update

I had an appointment last Thursday and we discussed that if I didn't have the baby on my own, we would be induced on the 31st.  I'm praying that my body will go into labor before then!  I DO NOT want to be induced again.  Yes, it's convenient and that's really the only reason we're scheduling a possible induction date.  With my new job I really need to be able to give them a date as close as possible so they can plan.  With Colton working so much down south lately, I don't want him to have to rush for four hours if I happen to go into labor and there being a possibility of him missing it all together.  With Korbyn having a birthday so close to this one, I really don't want them to have the same birthday and it's just cutting it too close.  So there are a lot of reasons why we want it scheduled.  I don't know why, but it makes me sad thinking I'll be induced again.  It's just so unnatural.  The vice principal was asking me if I felt like my body was getting close, kind of weird talking to HIM about it, but he's a dad so he can relate.  I honestly don't know if my body is getting close to labor because I've never experienced it coming on it's own, and I very much want to.

At my appointment I was dilated 1 1/2 cm and my cervix had thinned since the last time.  So there's progress being made but we're not too close yet.  I only have one more appointment coming up this Thursday and she said we'll see what kind of progress I've made to determine if we'll go in the night before on the 30th like last time or if we can just come in early on the 31st.  I'll be praying that I go into labor before then, but either way our little one will be here by Halloween!
