Back Home Again

After a very trying and tiring day of induced contractions and no progress, Scott and I decided to come home and wait until the baby was ready. I am dilated to 3 cm and 80% thinned out, but she is still high up and not in the birth canal. The doctor gave us some options (inducing again today or going home) . At first we told him yes let's induce and see, but then after the doc left, Scott and I had a lot of "what if" questions. What if it' doesn't work? Will an epideral slow down her progress? Will Jen still have horrible back and hip pain? (which was why yesterday was so terrible) At one point we had Doctor Moore on the phone, our nurse in a chair, and the anethesiologist standing in the doorway, all waiting on our decision. Yikes! I hate making such tough decisions like that. So here we are, relaxing at home and being way more comfortable than in the hospital tied to a monitor and IV. Scott and I both took a long nap today and are going out to eat tonight. So wish us luck! I am officially 40 weeks today. Hopefully the baby will decide to come soon- she's progressed so far on her own- which tells us she will be one independent lady!
