The Wait is Almost Over

I had another doctor's appointment today to see if we could go ahead with my induction on the 26th...and we got the green light!! Although it has taken me four weeks to go from a one to a two, it was enough for my doctor to feel more comfortable about inducing me. The baby's head is still not engaged, but it is a bit further down. My doctor now feels, as I have for weeks, that the baby's face is pointing toward my stomach. This accounts for my incredibly SLOW progress and the intense back pain I have been feeling for the last couple of days. Due to this presentation of the baby, it will most likely mean that I will be facing a longer labor - longer than I should experience since this is my third baby. Really, I don't care. As long as I have my epidural, I will be in labor for as long as it takes!! By my doctor's estimates, though anything can happen, expect Baby Robeen to make his/her appearance late afternoon on the 26th!!!
