Well.... it has been a really really long couple of days for us.
You might have seen my other post about my town being flooded. It is REALLY bad right now. Most of where I live is under water.... including my husband's family business where he works and our in-laws home. We had boil advisories, power outages and water being turned off. Everything is closed or under water. We live in a little country town and the hospital I will deliver at is about 30 mins away. Almost all the roads to the hospital are closed. We had to go today for an appointment and it took us 2 hours and we had to go through water. Pretty scary.
Then... this afternoon my mother-in-law fell and broke her collar bone. She was the person that was going to help watch our son for the delivery. I feel terrible for her... I am not trying to complain... I just got over a broken arm, so I know that she is in terrible pain.
I just feel like sitting down and having a good cry.

Okay... back to why I posted... please do not flame me... if you feel the need, please hold off I just can't take anymore right now.
I had my 38 week doctor's appointment today. Since I am high risk and we have had all this flooding/transportation problems I allowed him to to an internal exam. I am a good 2cm and 90% effaced (sp?). He talked to me a little bit about wanting to schedule an induction. I was very hesitant at first. He did tell me that he would like me to do it to better ensure that we have our baby during the day instead of the night. If there are problems with her since she is really the one that is high risk that the staff is better during the day than night. So we scheduled a 5:30 am appointment with the hospital for the 29th. However, I did tell him that I wanted more time to think about it and so I also kept my 39th week appointment for next Thursday. Honestly with everything going on around us and the "not" knowing if the roads will be open to the hospital, I just feel
: !!!! My head hurts, I am SO tired and I really do not know what to do.
UPDATE
I have decided to go ahead with the inducement. My doula will be meeting me at the hospital early tomorrow morning. My doula, my husband and I feel that with the sistuation of the community and his job, and my 'high risk' status that we should go ahead with it. I am SO nervous. I am not a strong mama like most of you.... I tend to be a very anxious person.... and oh boy am I anxious right now! I want to enjoy this last day with 'just' my son, but I just can't relax and focus.
I just wanted to update this post.
Thank you
