BABY UPDATE
I have an induction date scheduled for Monday, February,14th. I am not going to lie I didn't want a Valentines baby but at this point I will take whatever baby I can get! My membranes were stripped yesterday and last night I went out and ran a mile....NOTHING! I was the crampiest I have ever been but still nothing. I have decided against the castor oil because it only works if you are already to go into labor. It just gives you that final push over the edge. At this point I figure she is simply not ready especially after all my long runs and getting my membranes stripped. There is just nothing I can do to convince this little girl to come into the world right now. I have another appointment Wednesday to have my membranes stripped again but have absolutely no hope for it working. It looks like we will be having a baby on Monday. There is no scheduled time. I am just supposed to wait by the phone for their call and be ready to pack up and leave within 30 mins of the call. The only good thing I can think of about having the baby Monday is that I can schedule everything. It takes the element of surprise out. I will know exactly who will watch Jaysa and I can tell my Mom to be here on Sunday night and she won't miss a thing. In this past 3 weeks the Lord has taught me a tough lesson of patience. In my mind I am overdue 2 weeks going on three because I was so positive that the baby would come after I went off my meds and started moving around. I let the all family, friends, teachers and even the doctor know I would be having the baby that week. This has for sure been the most frustrating and disappointing 2 weeks I have had in a long time. I feel like my entire life has been on hold while we wait for Paisley to get here. I am trying to stay positive since the end is now in sight. I am grateful and will be so excited to be done with this pregnancy. I can't wait to get back to my normal self. In the meantime I will be trying to get more homework done. Thanks for reading and I am sorry if this post reflects my mood at the moment I am just simply disappointed and anxious. I want to have this baby now. Look again on Monday to see Miss Paisley Ferguson!

Are you supposed to go into labor immediately when your membranes are stripped? It took me like 2 days or something. Maybe there's still hope it will work!
No not right away but its usually pretty soon after. With Jaysa I went into labor the same day. I just had it done again this morning so I guess we will see!
