Prior to our appointment today, we were anticipating the possibility of being induced tomorrow.  After seeing the Doctor this morning, unfortunately, I have not progressed any more since last week.   I still remain at 1.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced. 

In a prior appointment a couple of weeks ago she mentioned that at 39 weeks if things were favorable that she would give us an option to be induced since it was our second child and have been down that road before.  After lots of thought and discussion between David and I, we had agreed that if she did give us the option this morning, that we would take it. 

I have so many things running through my mind right now, I had really gotten my heart set on going in tomorrow.  There was no change as far as dilating/effacing, and I was 1 day shy of 39 weeks…. she did not want to schedule us at this point.  I have been a bit disappointed today, but I know in my heart that this is the right thing.  These things always seem to work out for a reason.

Unless Dylan decides to arrive in his own fashionable way, we are scheduled to be induced on Tuesday (10/6) at 5:00am.  When she mentioned the time to us we both looked at each other… that is going to make for a long day!  With Drew’s delivery, they put us in the night before which was much less stressful… but since I am much further along now than I ever was with Drew, there is no reason to admit me the night before. 

Friday will be my last day of work until after Christmas.  I am looking forward to spending this fall at home bonding with Dylan and having nice quality time with David and Drew!

If anything changes between now and Tuesday, I will certainly let you all know… if not, check back on Tuesday for the latest… David will probably pick up with the posts at that time as we welcome the arrival of Dylan Reid!!
