Baby Update

I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant and very ready to have this baby.
The kids are getting so excited for me to "get the baby out." Me too, me too.
Here is a run down of recent events, and don't be surprised if they change before I even get this posted to my blog.
1 - I've been planning on getting induced the 17Th for weeks and weeks.
2 - Stinker decides breech is the best position
3 - Take a trip to the hospital to have her turned. WORST day of my life, and not successful.
4 - C-section scheduled for the 19Th
5 - Next Dr. visit, she turns on her own. Again, stinker! I had just accepted that maybe a 30 minute C-section was going to be okay. In and out, not being induced and laboring for 24 hours!
6 - Thinking the 17TH is back on, disappointed to find ZERO dilation, only 50% effaced, tons of fluid left ... induction won't be fun at this point. So we play the waiting game.
I've always know just when I was going in and when the baby would arrive, and this time has been so far from that. We're excited for her to make her debut, hoping it's sooner rather then later. Maybe I should was the car seat ... maybe it's okay if she waits until next week ;)

Maybe I'll have my little guy before you!!! Ha-ha, just kidding. Last week I was dilated to only a one but 70% effaced. I find out more tomorrow. So are you headed for a c-section or a later induction?? Maybe I should just text you.
