39 weeks...almost done!

Well, at my 39 week appointment I was told that I will be induced at 41 weeks. My doctor doesn't like to induce until after your due date. Apparently, I have an unfavorable cervix which means that they will do a different procedure to help get this baby out. So, as of now, I will go in at about 4 in the afternoon on Tuesday, December 11th. My doctor will give me an epidural and then do the Cervical Ripening Balloon       http://www.cookmedical.com/wh/features/crb_en_US/index_crb.html . Hopefully our baby will be here the next day, which is cool because then it's birthday will be 12-12-12. 

Tonight, I decided to try to hurry this along by taking Castor Oil which should start contractions after it cleans out my system. We will see how this goes. Before you ask, yes, my doctor said I could take this. She said if I was going to take it to take it the week of my due date which is this week.
