The end is in sight...

My doctor scheduled an induction for the 21st of September. That will be exactly 1 week early. She wanted to do it earlier, but the hospital has tightened up on their policy. I keep hoping she will come on her own before then, since this will be our
4th and final induction. For some crazy, maternal reason, I'd like to actually experience going into labor on my own. We'll post pictures once she makes her appearance, and BTW... we still don't have a name!

Only 1 more week!!! Can't wait to see her! Sending you water-breaking, going into labor on your own wishes. :o) I know how you feel - after 3, I've yet to experience the whole going into labor thing. I guess the most important thing is that you get the baby out, right? :o) Good Luck next week! Talk to you soon!

How exciting! I am always going nuts by this point. You just want to hold them already!!!! As for the water breaking part, I had it happen for the first time with this last one and it kinda sucked. It went way too quick for my taste!!! I would definitely prefer an induction.

I've been wondering and thinking about you. I didn't want to call or email and ask if you were still there. I know that gets really old. At least you know it will be over next week. Good luck and let us know when it happens.

I know the feeling of wanting the experience of going into labor without the drugs, I know I've only done it once but next time I want it to come on it's own. I tell myself that now but my tune might change if I'm 40 weeks and still pregnant. I guess I should say that I want it to happen on it's own before 40 weeks! Goodluck!

The 21st is my 8th anniversary. If she comes on her own on the 20th that is my birthday! I think you should name her Tiffany.....

How exciting!!! you are always welcom to use the name 'Linda' :) I know what you mean about going into labor on your own. I felt a bit ghipped with the old scheduled c-section. I kind of like that my water broke with Maya in the middle of the night to give me a little taste of the frantic unplanned trip to the hospital. Good luck! We'll be thinking of you!
