As you can tell from previous posts, it's been a crazy few days around here. The dust seems to be settling, so happy day.
Cindy is improving, and if she continues at this pace, she will be out of ICU in a couple of days, and then in the hospital for another 1-2 weeks. Incredible. Jonathan (her little boy) will come stay for a couple days tomorrow barring any unforseen births at our house.
Now for my dilemma. My doctor has scheduled me to be induced on Friday, but I'm on Tamiflu for another week, and everything that I have read says you really shouldn't nurse while you're on it. Plus, Bryan and I both have colds (we had them before all the craziness, so we're hoping it's nothing), so now I'm just thinking I'll cancel Friday and just let her come when she's ready and just take my chances that my doctor will be around (he goes out of town next Thursday). Other side note, at my last visit, she was measuring 7 lbs 6 oz (you never know how right that is), but with Aeden he estimated 1 lb 1/2 under, and Asher he estimated 1/2 lb over, so who knows what we'll get.
AND, I've been having pretty timely contractions today, but they are still between 10-15 minutes apart, and they aren't getting any harder, so it probably doesn't mean anything.
So in other words, all signs are pointing to the fact that I shouldn't get induced this week, but *sigh*.
Just tell me what I should do, "k?"

If it were me...I'd get induced. The last few weeks of pregnancy aren't fun and I usually just wanted it to end, no matter what. Sorry I can't tell you what to do but if my doc were going out of town...I'd not be risking it. I'm paranoid that way. Good luck deciding.
I think you should wait, that is if Belen is willing. You still have almost a week and a half before your doctor goes out of town, which will give you time with the whole tamiflu(I am not sure what it is, let alone how to spell it) and time to let things unfold with Cindy. That is my vote, but I am all about natural anyway :) good luck!
and you both posted a minute apart...thanks a lot! :)
Call your doctor and see what he says about the whole situation. And... Pray about it. :)
You know Tiff - this is a hard one b/c it's your body and your family situation and you know how you're feeling and all of that jazz! If it were me I would call my Dr. and cancel the induction for this Friday and see if it can be scheduled for next Wednesday. This way I get to have my last week on Tamiflu, I give the baby time to come on her own, I get to take care of my nephew, and IF the baby doesn't come then I get the induction with my Dr. who would still be in town because he doesn't leave until Thursday! HEHEEH - see - everyone can be HAPPY!!! Good luck with whatever you decide! I can help you in any way that you need until Friday afternoon - so just let me know! (after that I'll be in Mexico - sry!)
I'm with Aislinn. I'd probably do both. But truth be told, if it were me, I'd be posting this exact same post and asking for advice too. So I don't know. Those last weeks of pregnancy are seriously the worst! I hate waiting and being big and uncomfortable so whatever you decide, hang in there. She'll be here before you know it! :)
Bear Grylls delivered his last baby with his tool box in his living room! Me and Bryan have tool boxes...
If it were me, I would wait until your cold is over. Let nature take it's course! Hang in there! You will be in our prayers! Aislinn had some good ideas, see below!
I'm with Aislinn on this one! It's only another week.
Personally, I don't think she's ever going to come out...
Lots of good advice. I like the tool box delivery--not for me, but it was funny! I personally would wait--I wouldn't want to recover from delivery with a cold--make it a little harder on your body. The more you can get over it--the better. You'll be in our prayers.
