Baby Update

For the last week I have been having contractions and a lot of pressure. I swore she had dropped and that I was at least dilated to a 2 if not more. I was getting really excited...then I went to the Doctor today.
I am still dilated to a 1, 70% effaced(which was some progress since last time I was just 50%)...and she is still floating around up there. I almost started crying. I realize I am not due for a week, but I am so done being pregnant I could scream! When I went back to get weighed the nurse said to me, "What are you doing here...you are supposed to have had her already!" Maybe it is all the weight I gain(43 lbs and counting!) when I am pregnant that keeps my babies inside of me...it is so comfy in there they just don't want to come out! The Doctor stripped me again this week(I guess hoping it would send me into labor on my own, but I seriously doubt that will happen) and then asked me when I wanted to have her...to which I respond "asap!" He then took out his iphone and opened up his magic 8 ball app and asked if I could be induced this week to which the ball responded "most likely". So we decided on this Wed to start the induction. He also asked his magic 8 ball if he was the best Doctor in town to which it responded "most definitely" so I guess I am in good hands! Wish us Luck!
