Congrats on having your baby, Jujulbee! Sorry it was such a traumatic experience. I'd still be interested in hearing it at some point if you want to share. The 16th was my due date, and so I'm officially late now. This morning at my check up, the doc said there was really no change. About 80% effaced, and 3 cm. We scheduled an induction for Thursday the 24th. I'm hoping I go into labor on my own before that, though. We'll see. Anyhow, congrats again on having your precious baby! And Melissa, how did your induction go? ~Rachel

Okay--I know I'm so late on answering this. I've had no time to be on the computer lately. The induction went awesome. I went in at 50% effaced and dialated to a 2.5. My MD broke my water and started my Pitocin drip at 7am. I held out for my epidural until 11:45, then all was well with the world :) I stalled at 5 cms for over 3 hours and they told me that if things hadn't changed in an hour they were going to call my MD ( to discuss C Section) That totally freaked me out and I started crying. My husband, my mom, and myself started praying and the nurse came in to check me. I had dialated to a 10 in 45 mins. It was a miracle!! Next thing you know I was pushing and 20 mins later Mason Gray was here. He was delivered at 4:52 pm on 4/14 weighing 6 14.5 and 19.5 inches long. He's the best baby--such a snuggler. We're so blessed. Hope all of your deliveries went well too!! -Melissa
