I chickened out of getting induced this week. I just didn't feel "quite right" about it, so I called the doctor yesterday to push it back a week. I feel more comfortable with it being a few days after my due date rather than a few days before- especially when it's not medically necessary and just for our convenience. I mentioned this to a friend yesterday and she said, "Well you must be feeling pretty good then!" I wasn't sure what to say to that... "I'm carrying around 50 extra pounds in August! I'm hot and puffy, and sometimes it feels like the baby is trying to claw his way out..."? I didn't think that would go over well, so I just said the usual: "Yeah, we're doing all right..."

What a trooper!!! I can’t believe you backed out! When I saw the title of your post, I mistakenly assumed that you had false labor last night and got sent back home. Needless to say, I was shocked when I read your full post!
Good luck!
So there's still a chance you could share a birthday!
I'm sure you made the right decision. It's important to trust those feelings.
'Sending good wishes your way...
The comics are hysterical and your sense of humor is no doubt helping you out. It will all be over so soon!
I'm totally laughing at these comics! Good luck this week!
Good luck with everything!
Happy birthday today! I'm thinking of you and your family.
Thanks Ceri! It's funny how we still remember each other's birthdays after so long!! ;) The baby's running out of time to be born on his Mommy's B-day. (Whether he'd like that or not is another question altogether!)
Happy Birthday!! For the record, deciding to remain 9 months pregant is not "chickening out" in my book! I feel the same way about inducement... up to about 7 days past the due date, of course. I hope you're enjoying your birthday -and that there will be another birth day really soon! I'm pretty excited for baby Hylton pics!
ok, that's HILARIOUS!!! that picture is awesome! where do you find this stuff?
and do we have a baby yet????? can't wait to see pics!! :)
