Ready but not...

Today I went to my doctor. Apparently, I've made a lot of progress in 6 days time. I'm up to 2 cm. and 70 percent. I have to be between 4-5 cm to be admitted into labor & delivery, and 100 percent before baby can come out. 

Almost there. 

My doctor told me that she has me on her calendar for an induction next Wednesday the 6th. She said I can come in if I want to have the baby then. I told her that I will probably wait and let the little guy come on his own. I don't think induction unless absolutely necessary is the most healthiest of options. 

Right now I'm playing the guessing game, wondering if every twinge and cramp is a contraction and one step closer to meeting my little one. 

The selfish, go-getter part of me wants to take my doctor up on her offer of induction just so I can not be pregnant and in pain, I can have my baby and I can move on with my life.  The other more hesitant half, just isn't ready yet to take on the responsibility of midnight feedings and poopy diapers and squealing and screaming, and is scared to death and doesn't want to jump just yet. Ohhh, please PLEASE be a good baby. haha.

Life is going to change soon. I hope I can adjust.
