Being induced Monday

Well I had my check up today at 40+3 my cervix is still high, long, and completely closed ): the dr scheduled my induction for Monday morning... I go in Sunday evening and they will put a capsule in to help ripen my cervix and will start the pitocin Monday morning. He said there is a chance the induction might not work and I might have to wait a few days and try again. I really hope it works though and I will be holding my baby girl sometime monday (:

She's still hanging in there but I got my epidural about 11:30 this morning, and had my water broke around 12:30. The fluid was clear and everything looks perfect it's about 3:30 now and were expecting baby to be here around 6!

well so far I have had one dose of the medicine to help thin my cervix and have been having contractions 5 min apart for the last 3 hours. They are waiting awhile to give me the second dose because my contractions are getting longer and stronger on their own (by the way contractions hurt really bad!) Hopefully if things keep progressing I wont need to be hooked up to pitocin in the morning and I can just labor on my own. (:
