Well folks, my wife will be induced into labor tomorrow, we got to be at the hospital at 6am. This will be my 3rd child and I am really excited about. It's a boy. I already started the negotiations with the NY Yankees about their future All Star third baseman Jonathan Andres Lopez to whom I intend to build him from the ground up.
I will post some pics after he's born ( quite a birthday he'll have 9/11 ).

My best to both of you! I hope it is quick, easy, and as least painful as possible.

And we need miracles on 9/11.

Well, if labor is gonna be induced, can't they do it today or on the 12th?

That's the date the doctor set. Last week she was dialated 5 cm. Today she went to her last check up before going to the hospital and she is 3 cm. I just don't know what to say.

that is silly. people are born every day--including on dates that may bring up a bad memory.

Well, I think induced labor is silly, but we all have our differences. Apparently babies can’t interfere with the doctors’ golf schedules these days.

All the best to you and your wife!!! Let us know how big your baby is!!!!
My friend was due September 11th, 2 years ago, but she wound up having her son on the same day my son was born (August 30th). There is still a chance for the baby to be born on a different day than the 11th. I was induced beginning at 7pm on August 28th and gave birth to my sun at 5:35 am on August 30th! We all thought he was going to be born the 29th.

My Dr. wanted to induce me a week and a half early because she was going on vacation and didn't want me to have the baby while she was away. I said no, I want him to stay in there until he is ready to come out.

Unfortunately if you go more than a week past your due date without naturally going into labor they make you induce labor. I was induced a week and a half after my due date.

If I could give advice to anyone who is thinking about inducing, just remember that it is a much harder labor than one that comes naturally. (Unless you are past your due date and then you really have no choice!)
