40 week appt

Today is my official due date. Apparently, no one has told the Bean because he is completely unprepared to be born. He hasn't packed his bags or forwarded his mail. He's in total denial.

I'm still only about 1 cm dilated. There's been no change at all, so we had a more in-depth discussion with the doctor about what will happen if I'm induced next week. I'll be admitted Tuesday night at 8pm and I'll be given a medication that "ripens" the cervix. In the morning, the doctor will check my condition and start the pitocin which promotes contractions. After that it's a waiting game ...something with which I've become very familiar.
