It's Settled!

So I just got back from my last doctor's appointment!

Pros: I've started dilating!! I'm about 1.5 cm...WHEW!
Head dropped further!
Still 50% effaced.
Scheduled induction for Monday (if I don't come on my own before of course).

Cons: Nope...can't think of any!

I can't even say how relieved I feel to have this all worked out! I realize the hard part is still ahead of me but at least now I feel calm, peaceful, and hopeful about it. I feel like maybe I can actually do this! Again, thank you all for your concern and support...it has meant the world!

That's so good to hear Mikel! Isn't it weird to think that in just a few more days you'll be holding your baby! I'm excited for you. You will be in my thoughts!
