Laboring away. No, that is not a drug induced smile. I'm still feeling pretty good and trying to get some rest. Everything seems to still be on schedule though. I was 1cm dilated at my checkup this afternoon, which shows some progress finally. Hooray! But, since my cervix is "unfavorable," "stubborn," "misbehaving," "bad," or any of the other colorful terms my doctor so anthropomorphistically applied to it, I'm in the hospital now. I've been given Cervidil to help my cervix play nice. The doctor also stripped my membranes. So, I'm awaiting induction by Pitocin in the morning, but I've been having regular contractions all afternoon, and they're getting stronger, which means there's a chance that maybe, just maybe the induction won't be necessary. Wish us luck!
