Nope, Not yet!

Still no baby! We went to the doctor today and I am dilated one centimeter and my cervix is still not ready. We had an ultrasound and the baby is fine so we are going to hold off a little longer. I will go back to the doctor on Monday and if nothing has changed then they will admit me on Monday at midnight and start me on some drug to help soften my cervix and then start Pitocin on Tues morning. If I have made some progress on Monday when he checks me then they will just admit me Tuesday morning and start the Pitocin and not the other drug. However, the baby is measuring really big so a C-Section is a big possibility. Today they guesstimated that he is 9 lbs. 5 oz. and it can be off a pound either way. So by Tuesday next week he could be around 9 pounds or around 10 pounds! My doctor said once they induce if I don't make progress pretty quickly and the baby doesn't seem like he will come out then we will just go to a C-Section since he is so big. Hopefully he will decide to come on his own this week or weekend!
