april fools?!- updated.

I'm on my way to the doctors... I have no idea what he'll say.
Last week he said he wouldn't let me go past today.
I have a couple last minute ideas that i may try to induce labor on my own-- acupuncture, black kohash, running a mile.  :)

My kids are GREAT fools-- i already had a nasty experience brushing my teeth (I'm sure that my toothbrush was dipped in some nasty stuff).
They are telling everyone that I already had my baby... so beware.

Hope you have a great day!!  And, that I have a great day too... ;)

UPDATE--
so, i saw my doctor today.
i told him to be rough when he checked me.  :)
I was dilated 4 cm and he stripped my membranes.
(Just FYI-- with my first baby, it took me 12 hours on pitocin to get to a 4...)

Have I told you that I LOVE my doctor?!!
love. him.
he said everything looks good.  i'm healthy, the baby's heartbeat is strong and she is NOT a big baby.
he's not worried.
he would have had no problem sending me straight to labor and delivery.
he would have no problem if I wanted to show up in labor and delivery tonight.
he THINKS i will go into labor on my own tonight or this weekend.
He asked me what I wanted to do.

i told him-- it's my SEVENTH baby... i really, really, want to know what it is like to go into labor on my own.
BUT
i don't want to be dumb.
(my bags were packed in the car-- we had decided that if he thought I needed to be induced we would do it.)
but, he said that i was NORMAL (yeah, we laughed too) and that he didn't think there was ANY reason why I needed to be induced.
he said I am progressing and that I definitely will go into labor sometime soon.
i told him my husband (who was with me) might not be so excited about waiting another two days.
he said with a chuckle, "You already gave your husband six beautiful babies, and he's grateful.  On your seventh baby, you can decide!"
todd is FINE with waiting... but, i know he would be very fine if I decided to head to the hospital right now.
we decided to wait this weekend and go in at 7am on Monday morning if I haven't started on my own before then.
the doctor is pretty certain that he could just break my water and I'd begin contracting on my own...
or, that I would progress fast with just a little bit of pitocin.
so, even if I am induced, I can still do things pretty naturally.

Anyway... not that you needed to read my whole OB life history--
but- I am still pregnant.
sometimes contracting, but not contracting regularly.
Over 4 cm dilated.
and READY to have this baby.
today.
I really... really... really... want to go into labor today.
or tonight.
or tomorrow.
or Sunday.

but, if not...
then, we will have a baby on Monday morning.
MONDAY!!!
and, i am SO EXCITED to meet this little baby.
SO EXCITED.

Can you believe I'm going to have a BABY??!!!
