omgg yayayayay! i felt the same way. i was all impatient and then my water broke and i was telling my mom "BUT IM NOT READY!!!!!!!!!!" lol. im so excited for you though! do you feel like you'll go on your own before induction? i hope the pitocin works for you. it did squat for me 
ok, i had my moment of freak out...i was not at all expecting dr to say i am ready anytime...i expected him to say it's gonna be awhile yet and see you next week! i didn't even know they did elective inductions. he said he would not do it if my body wasn't ready, but since it is i will "take" to the induction. i am already 2 cm dilated and softened so apparently that means i am ready anytime now. with DS i was 2cm when i went in, though i was in labor with contractions every 15-20 minutes apart. they had me come in early to basically be induced because of my bp. i was given pitocin, broke my waters and away i went. i progressed just fine, though the pitocin def doesn't give you any sort of break.
were you dilated at all before they started the pitocin?
dr says i am a good candidate for induction?
i do hope i go earlier than that though because the day they scheduled just happens to be the day DH is supposed to go accept his award he worked so hard for all year last year. it's a really nice ceremony they do every year and this is the first year he's won this particular award. would hate for him to have to miss it, though i won't postpone the induction i don't think, cause i'd have to wait till the next week then.

Oh wow! I would expect you to go fast at 4cm already. I think my dr is basing all this on how my first one went. Though I was already having contractions before ever starting pitocin then. If I do make it to induction day I'm hoping for some more progress before then. I am still keeping my tues appt and will be checked then so I could still change my mind if I want to. Dh was not happy about the day. He asked me if they could postpone it till the end of the day! I said um, no that's not how it works and then I would for sure be up all night in labor. Yeah, he's very sensitive to labor 
. he has zero empathy for me and just says well you knew you had to do this so I should just suck it up basically. He was no support to me at all during labor with ds until the placenta wouldn't come out. THEN he wouldn't leave my side, go figure.

how come the placenta woudlnt come out ? whatd they do?
Jonathan is wonderful he had his second pediatrician appt yesterday , he is back at his birth weight + 6 oz! he gained 9 oz in 8 days . they said that that was great - is that too much though? lol, just wondering! also, they said he doesnt need to come back till he is 2 months old . is that the norm?
and he has an ultrasound in 2 weeks for his kidneys hope everythings alright
but he is a complete joy and were just so happy with him. he looks more like his daddy everyday! his eyes are slowly changing from blue to hazel ish.

Naw he won't be. Just the way dh is. But when it really counts he is there! Don't know why the placenta wouldn't come away. The dr said it should have but just didnt. He manually removed it....was the worst experience of my life. Dr tells me it won't happen this time but you can be sure I will be watching the nurse to make sure she leaves the epi alone this time, ha.
I am so anxious and nervous now. Every cramp and bh I think, is this it? But nope not yet .
Glad LO is growing so well. Yes, totally normal to all. You will have a 2 month 4 month 6 month 8 month 1 year appt. least that's what I had with ds

Haha! I had no idea that's what he was gonna do at the time lol! Not sure if I thought some magically fairy was gonna remove it but I really didnt think that was the way you removed it. Dr said most dont feel a thing because of the epi, but my nurse had turned mine off so I could feel contraction to push and it wasn't removed till almost an hour after that. Very traumatic and I said I would never have anymore kids.....well here I am doing it again!
aww would u be real upset if he got one? during my pregnancy with all the worry i said id never do it again. but now i feel completely different lol. not anytime soon though. probably 3 years the least ..
if my OH keeps this up and doesnt turn back into mr asshole. he has apparently had an epiphany and turned over a new leaf.

No I wouldn't be upset, just want him to wait to 3 years to be sure he doesn't change his mind. Sure I really want a girl but having another doesnt mean I'd have a girl anyway. I would be happy with my two boys 
Hope oh continues on this path!
