To Induce- or not???

Dr's Appt. this afternoon (39 weeks- only 1 week to go!) Well since I have been sooooo productive (gardening, cleaning etc.) I just knew that Dr. Hanson was going to have some good news for me. Nope! This is my 4th week at 1 centimeter! One of the posts I read on the "I am pregnant" webiste said that once you have a baby your cervix never completly closes back up. So possibly I have made no progress whatsoever! I just didn't have the heart to ask the Dr. about that. I didn't want to know. I told him that I was planning on having the baby Sunday. He said that Sunday wasn't any good- he's not on call this weekend. LIKE I REALLY CARE! He hasn't delivered any of my children- why start now. He said that he would induce my labor on Tuesday if I wanted. I have until Monday to decide. I'm about 85% against that. Chris was induced and almost killed me! UGH! Of course this is baby #4- so it should be much easier (should being the operative word here!) On the other hand it would be nice to know when to expect him, no middle of the night labor, no waiting on Elton (who is now working 40 some miles away). Such a big decision. I'm really leaning towards just letting nature take its course. I don't mind being pregnant. But there is also the possibility of going seriously overdue and having to be induced anyway. Why is it my sons need to be served with an eviction notice? Elton is no help in this situation. "You do whatever you want." Gee thanks...

I ALMOST got another ultrasound today. The nurse had trouble finding the heartbeat again. Since this is the 3rd time its happened- I have basically quit being concerned. He just likes to hide out. He can be going crazy and the instant Elton puts his hand on my stomach he freezes. I think his nickname will have to be Possom. (Opossum if you want to get technical...) So she woke him up, and made him mad. Gee thanks! So basically we ate lunch, and then he decided to nap, was hard to wake up- and then acted like a beast. Hmmmm. Reminds me of someone... Like father like son I guess.
