Happy Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year everyone!
I just wanted to post a little update that it looks like no matter what, our little girl will be here by tomorrow night. My doctor decided that if I don't go into labor over the weekend, she will be inducing me on Monday.
I'm not 100% sold on the idea of another induction but honestly, I have been SO STRESSED out about how everything is going to go once I go into labor that a huge part of me is very relieved. My parents have to come from Long Island to watch Meghan since we have no family closer and I just keep having visions of them not making it here in time and me having to go to the hospital by myself in an ambulance.
The great news is that I am already 2cm dialated, the baby is low and my cervix is very favorable for induction. Last time, I was closed up tight and Meghan didn't drop until *right* before she was born. So I feel a lot better going in this time.
As long as there is still a room open, I go in at 7am tomorrow and will hopefully be holding our little girl shortly after! My parents are coming soon, so that part of the stress will be over with and I can really start looking forward to getting this baby o.u.t. (ok, maybe not looking forward to that part, but ykwim LOL).
Still hoping I go into labor today so I've stepped up the bouncing on the exercise ball and red raspberry leaf tea. Let's hope it works!

I hope that you don't have to be induced, but either way things sound really good this time around. She will be the best Valentine's Day present ever! I will say some prayers for uneventful easy strong and healthy baby delivery for both of you, even though it seems that is what's all ready happening.
This is so exciting, Di!!! I hope labor starts on its own today, but I am glad it seems like things re happening, so the induction should go well if it comes to that.
I am sending easy labor and delivery vibes your way-I can hardly wait!!!!
I can't wait to meet her, and I hope you aren't worrying yourself about the induction. I hope everything goes really smoothly if you have to be, but I also hope that you go on your own today (not just because it's my birthday, lol)
