I have been against being induced simply because I believe my body should know better than myself when it is ready to have the baby, but now 3 out of 4 times we have had good reason to go ahead and do it anyway. I really don't want to do it this time around, but the concern is that the baby is going to be big again, and we really don't think it is a good idea to have another 10lb baby. We stewed with the doctor to find a good time to schedule being induced and of course there weren't any real convenient times for him other than Tuesday the 2nd. I'm excited to have a date set and know that I don't have to endure much longer, but now I have other concerns. Besides the fact that it seems rather early to me, my whole family is on antibiotics. We have fevers, coughs, conjunctivitis, and sinus infections going around. Do I really want to choose to bring a baby into this environment? I've managed to be the only one lucky enough not to catch anything, but the chances look pretty good that I could be sick by Tuesday as well. My thoughts are to just go with it, so I hope I'm making the right choice (and not just a selfish one). Wish us luck and hopefully the next time I post there will be a picture of our new little one with good reports of delivery and health for us all.
