At about 8 we left to go home. The boys jumped in the tub since they were filthy dirty! By the time they were ready for bed it was about 9, and they were past exhaustion. I waited too long to put them to bed. It took almost an hour for them to pass out.
So after the longest day of my pregnant life, I am still at home on my couch. I'm not at the hospital! If it doesn't happen soon I am going to be really upset! I will keep you all posted. I go to the doctor tomorrow morning. He told me he would start me on Wed. if I haven't gone into labor. I still can't decide if I should be induced or just wait. I might just cave in and do it ASAP! Wish me luck!

Bless your little heart! Those boys are so lucky to have you as a mom! I'm sure your 3rd boy will fit right in with them! Good luck over the next few days with whatever you decide! I'm think'n of you!
I heard you guys came to Beauty and the Beast on Saturday. Steve mentioned that you said hi...
Good luck with the induction decision.
I was induced both of the last two times. One was fairly easy, textbook, no problems. But I was at a 3 already when they started me, broke my water, gave me pitocin, gave me an epidural, spent the afternoon kind of relaxing... Total time 8 hrs
The second time I had to be down at the U and I hadn't progressed on my own at all, like maybe a 1. It was a little longer and not as pleasant, but still not too terrible. Checked in at 8pm and had the baby by 1 pm the next day. 12 hrs of cervidil (or something like that) which made me contract uncomfortably but nothing compared to full labor. Then my water broke AND they gave me pitocin...so I went from a 2 to a 10 in about 2.5 hrs, not so fun....
My two bits, if you have been progressing at all of your checks and your doctor thinks you are ready, you will probably be fine to be induced. If you aren't really dilating or effacing on your own, wait a little while because spending over night in the hospital trying to soften a cervix is not so much fun.
Good luck and don't think of it as a cheaters way....for some of us that is the only way to get the babies to come.
good luck w/ the babe.
Hey I was induced with both of mine but had already started dialating! I was at a five and walking around with Kason not knowing!! Then as soon as they broke my water he was right there, I pushed twice and he was out!! The doctor said that if I was anywhere but the hospital and my water broke I would have had him in the car or wherever I was! So inducing isn't too bad if you have done some of the work already. Good luck with everything! Can't wait to see his cute little face.
Erin- hang in there:) Good luck if tomorrow is the big day!!!!
Be sure to post LOTS of pictures of your new little guy!
Do your boys usually come early? Hopefully he will come soon! I couldn't believe it when Seth was a week late!! I guess they arrive on earth WHEN THEY WANT TO! Good luck with everything, I can't wait to see pics of the little new arrival.
