I finally got a call from my midwife late this afternoon letting me know that I can go into L&D triage after 6 this evening to get a Foley catheter placed by one of the OBs. They'll then monitor me for about half an hour and, if all is well, send me home for the night.

I'm on the induction list for tomorrow and should be called in at some point during the day (barring any other emergencies arising in the department).

I'm struggling emotionally with the thought of induction to the point that I currently feel physically ill. But at 42 weeks tomorrow, it's time. I'm just trying to relax and focus on the idea of getting to bring home a healthy, happy baby in the next few days.

Your good thoughts, vibes and prayers are appreciated.
