On Oct. 28th, Kayli still had not been born and the midwife/doctor agreed to try to induce with Cytotek.  I truly felt it would work, as I was already having rather strong contractions on my own, even though I was very nervous about using a chemical for inducement.  It didn't.  I failed the induction and was told I could try again in the morning.  The morning of the 29th I awoke to a change of heart.  I wasn't going to try the induction again for at least a week.  Kayli had spoken... she was not ready and I had to let her choose her own time.  In any case, Daddy felt she wanted to be a Halloween baby, as that is our favorite holiday, so I let matters be.

Halloween came and went and I was a little depressed that I couldn't dress her up in her cute kitty costume.  Daddy, however, suddenly became nervous.  He said she needed to come NOW... that it was time and he felt something was going wrong.  Another week passes by and with it, another normal check-up.  I think David will be calmed by this, but he is even more anxious, insisting something is wrong.  On Wed. the 7th, he is suddenly laid off from work at the same time I start feeling that something really IS wrong, as I've developed a band of constant pain in my lower abdomen.  I know it isn't regular pelvic pain or Braxton Hicks.  It is a constant ache that nothing seems to help.  I notice Kayli is also not moving so much, and for my little acrobat, this is highly unusual.  I notified our midwife immediately of the pain, but was not told it was anything to be concerned with, so I tried to put it out of my mind.  David, however, was becoming frantic with worry.
