*******PLEASE DO NOT MENTION ANY OF THIS ON FACEBOOK!!!!!!************
Went to the Dr. this morning and I am still 1 cm and 75% effaced. We decided to induce tomorrow for many reasons, 2 of which being that it works to DH's work schedule and my Dr. is on call all weekend which will help us get the birth that we want (in an ideal world!). The hospital will call us later and tell us what time to come in tonight for cervadil, and then the actual induction will start in the morning. We have only told our parents that we are inducing because we are trying to keep this as "private" a time as possible and don't want a million calls/texts/fb messages etc as we bring our little monster into the world. I have actually put a block on my FB as well as DH's so no one can post on our wall or tag us either so that I can somewhat control what gets put out there. I am sure it sounds really awful that I don't want anyone to bother us, but we really want this time to be about us and becoming a family of 3. We plan on putting a post on FB a few hours after the baby is born when we have had some time to let everything sink in a bit. Thankfully the hospital has wifi, so I can at least entertain myself a bit while there tonight and keep track of all the babies that may come today!!! I just cant believe that we are having a baby tomorrow - so crazy!!!!!!!
good luck and elv's your way how do you put a block on Facebook like that btw? When I go in I don't want anyone posting anything until after I do, but knowing my family they will attempt it anyways
I totally get why you want time to yourself, and why you want to control what gets posted on FB. When I was in recovery DH was calling and texting our closest family and friends before we announced on FB. We hadn't told what the twins' names were, and one of our friends tagged us in a congratulations post using their names (that she got in text). No one noticed, because I made DH announce really quickly so no one else beat us to it. My nurse said that it happens to people ALL the time. Good call on your part, trust me! Good luck and ELVs tomorrow! I can't wait to see pics and find out if your little monster is a boy or girl.
Yeah!! I am currently in the hospital now, my little lady will be here today...
thinking of you. best of luck..

Bekah - if you go into your privacy settings on FB there are all different things you can change. Go to the privacy settings, then scroll down to "tagging and timeline". For "who can post on your timeline" I selected ONLY ME and then I also set it to review posts friends tag me in before they are posted to my timeline. People can obviously still post what they want in their own status, but at least they can't tag us so that the rest of our friends can see us before we want them to.
Lori - that was my exact fear, which is why I did it. No one knows the sex or name for the baby so I can only imagine how quickly something would get posted out of excitement. We are big pranksters as well so when we do finally post that the baby is born we are only going to post weight and length, no name or gender, just to make everyone squirm a bit more

Not awful at all! I admire you actually. Too many people are so "connected" via the internet that they forget to actually enjoy what's happening in the moment. I also want privacy, when my time comes.
We aren't telling anyone but close friends and family when my induction is and they are under strict orders to not call me or Bob but that they will be called when Amelia is here. We are having Amelia's godmother post on FB for us, Bob is gonna call her first I think, and then my parents, mainly cause my sister would post first on FB and I don't want her to.

THanks ladies! I am all tucked in to my fabulous hospital room, cervadil is in and the process has begun. In about an hour I will be given an ambien to ensure I actually sleep tonight and then at 5:30 AM the pitocin begins DH has taken my cell phone away, but is letting me play with my computer so at least I have some entertainment. He will be texting my wonderful DDB ElizabethS shortly after the baby is born to update everyone. I am a little freaked out, not gonna lie - but not from labor itself but moreso that I am officially going to be a mommy tomorrow. I just can't believe that we are here already...the past 6 months really flew by once we were out of the first trimester!
