I am 2 days from my due date and yesterday's visit to the docs I was given an option to get induced if I don't go naturally this week. I know there is a higher probability of intervention when you get induced (vacuum/forceps/potential c-section) but I as I am feeling now without any progress with my dilatation I opted for the induction.
I will find out this week if it will be Monday or Tuesday (the 28th or 29th) but the end is in sight, what a relief to hear! My doctor clearly can tell I am drained on many levels - as I have described on this blog in the past but to top it all off, my back is a mess this past week & Eli gave me his lovely germs. I have a full blown out cold/congestion and I am just trying so hard for it not to come to a head and turn into my signature bronchitis I usually get.
The hope is that I go naturally before the induction. Every time I cough with this dam cold I have I feel like my water is about to break so you never know :)
On another note the weather here in CT is kind of funny. This past weekend was really nice, what a change from the crummy weather we have been having and then all of a sudden on Monday we wake up to the crummy weather again! Of course after I cleaned my car on Sunday and put away my snow brush/ice scraper, we get snow the very next morning! Gotta love CT weather. Eli did have a blast being outdoors quite a bit between Friday-Sunday. It was good to get him fresh air too, I think it helped with the tail end of his virus. He really enjoyed washing Adam's truck with him. Here are some classic pictures of Eli having a blast with Daddy!

Good luck! Must be exciting to know it will happen soon!
I was induced with Norah, and while it was a long process, I was still able to deliver her vaginally with no complications or extra "stuff" of any kind. And I recall what a relief it was to schedule that induction -- I remember cryign with relief because I just wanted to move forward!
Good luck with everything and I hope to read a "birth report" sometime in the next week or so!
You should go for Tuesday, then Baby Pavelcheck 2.0 can have the same birthday as the Sharonee! haha
Kids love washing cars! Eli looks like he is having fun and probably got fairly wet in the process. :) I hope the clock ticks down very fast...looking forward to meeting baby #2!
