No news is.....No news

We just got back from the doctors office and we're bummed. He said that my cervix is a little softer but I haven't dilated anymore since last week, so I'm still at 1cm. At this point, my cervix isn't "favorable" for an induction. That being said, I have another appointment in 2 days on Friday the 20th where I will be having a BFP or Biophysical profile, for the baby. I think it's basically like an ultrasound but it will focus mostly on the amniotic fluid levels and things like that. I did have an NST today ( non stress test) I had to lay down and had a monitor on my stomach and I had to push a little buzzer everytime I felt the baby move. He just wanted to make sure the baby was fine I guess and of course, he is. 
SO, on Friday ( if I haven't gone into labor naturally) he is going to call down to Labor and Delivery and figure out a time to schedule an induction for NEXT WEEK. So at the latest he'll be here by the 27th. We're just hoping that things go well and that my body will naturally go into labor on it's own. We both are just feeling really disappointed right now. It's nice knowing everyone is so excited but it does get stressful getting multiple phone calls and emails every day and we have nothing to report. I'm going to try really hard to take my mind off of it and that might help. He will come when he's ready and BELIEVE me, i've tried ALL of the "natural" home induction old wives tales and they DON'T work. Well, that is all we have to say as of right now.
