38 Weeks 5 Days

I never thought I'd do an induction unless it was medically necessary but today Dr. S offer to induce me if I was dilated next week-and I'm quite tempted. I wasn't checked as per my request today-as I just didn't feel like it was needed. Next week, I'll want to know where I am, if I'm dilated, effaced at all, and if my cervix has moved forward. I think if I am dilated, I'll ask him to sweep my membranes too.

I watched the documentary The Business of Being Born and made dh watch it too. It made a VERY good case against doing inductions so I guess my mind just isn't made up yet. Dh is against me being induced unless I'm a week or so past my due date and I see where he is coming from. Obviously, none of these thoughts mean anything unless I'm dilated next week anyway.

Here is a pic of my ferret Ali. I gave her free run of the house over the weekend and first she used Skittle's bouncer to launch herself up to the fireplace. Then, she thought the swing was the coolest thing ever and loved finally being able figure out how to jump in it. I quickly snapped a pic!
