Hi ladies. Just popping in. Still no baby for me!

Trisha -- question and a couple of comments for you. First, sorry about the ear infection! I've gotten them pretty often as an adult and it's NO FUN. Second, re: Clover, you know the Dog Whisperer on Nat'l Geographic Channel? He had an episode with that exact situation - a chihuahua who was very possessive of the mom in the family . . . but I don't remember exactly what all he recommended. I think that part of it was that the mom had to correct the dog whenever he/she showed the unwanted behavior. But if you get the Nat'l Geographic channel you might just be able to keep an eye out for the episode about a possessive chihuahua, they run repeats all the time.

The question - I know you've said you had at least one induced labor -- with your youngest, I think? Can you tell me a little more about how that went? My due date is this Friday but I'm just starting to think that nothing's going to happen. Last appt I was "2+" cm dilated and "soft" and I'm having some BH contractions, but that's about it. I lost a good bit of mucous plug over the weekend (TMI!). But I'm just worried that things are not going to get started on their own anytime soon. If there were any doubt at all about the baby's gestational age I wouldn't be so quick to consider induction, but we did a trigger shot and IUI, so I am very sure about conception and due date. How "ripe" do you think you have to be to be successfully induced? I'm just thinking, if nothing happens by Monday 4/7, I may ask my doc if they will consider an induction for later next week.
