Another week of nothing

So yesterday's appointment went exactly as I knew it would. I still have not progressed any more than 2cm. And I'm only 60-70% effaced. Doc asked about induction and I joked that it was probably the only way this baby was coming. So of course, being the breezy doc that he is, he asks if we want to just induce on Monday. What?! NO. That's just too fast! I hadn't completely come to terms with that probability yet and that would just be way too fast. So instead, I will go back in on Monday for another follow up visit and see if I have made any progress over the weekend. If not, we will go ahead and schedule an induction date. He prefers to get it done by the end of the week. So it's really just a matter of choosing a day. This is VERY hard to do for some reason and I'm having trouble with the fact that this baby just won't do it on his own like he's "supposed" to. I even needed help with Lacey. Why can't my body do what it's supposed to do? Even though my water broke with her, I never had any decent contractions and without today's medical technology, I think she would have surely eventually dried up like a prune in there and put both our lives at risk. Thank goodness it's the 21st century! Plus, I don't want to schedule something and then always wonder if it would have happened on its own if I just would have waited "one more day". But on the flip side of that, there's something nice about not having to count contractions, or wonder, or freak out, or leave in the middle of the night, or make false labor trips to Triage. But I also want this to work out the best way possible for Matt's work and vacation days and all. It's just so confusing and would be a lot easier of this kid would just decide to make his appearance this weekend!
