This morning at my office visit, the doctor noticed some downward spikes in the baby's heartbeat (even though Murky did a great job of getting his heart rate up when moving). And my fluid was only "adequate." "Better out than in," said Doc, but first he sent me to the hospital for a more in-depth non-stress test which, while absolutely fine, led the docs to want to keep me at the hospital and induce me. So at some point this afternoon or evening, I'll be given misoprostol, which may put me into labor. If not, it's pitocin after that. We'll probably have a baby tomorrow!
Murky is at 0 station, and while I'm not dilated at all yet, I'm 50% effaced.
Here I am in my stylish hospital couture:
And they even fed me lunch -- Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing, etc!

This is so exciting! I'm guessing even more so for you than for me. ;-) Sending big hugs! AuntieH
A baby! So exciting! I hope everything goes well! We'll all be on pins and needles until the actual birth announcement is made.
Good luck!
OMG!!!
Babeness, I'll be thinking of you over the next (hopefully not too many) hours. Lots of love to you and the Murkster.
Good luck and go with the flow! Let them keep you there for pampering as long as you want it.
And if you read this "after," CONGRATULATIONS!
