When will Mason come?

That's the question of the day, but the answer most likely is June 30th. I had a doctor's appointment today and he checked me and I was only like 1 cm dilated. He said to come back in a week and he'd schedule me to come in and be induced on Monday June 30th. That should give us plenty of time for him to be born, get checked out as far as his kidney issue, circumcised, discharged from the hospital, and still have a little time together at "home" (our temporary apartment) with Mom before she has to leave to go back to Texas July 8th (my Dad's birthday!) Of course, it would be better if I went into labor naturally before the 30th. My doctor reminded me that labor could be a "long hard road" if I'm induced rather than waiting for it to happen naturally. I'm aware of that but that's one reason I'm going for the epidural as soon as I can get it. He's going to induce me by breaking my water and putting me on a pitocin drip, and as soon as I get to 4 or 5 cm, he said I can have the epidural.
So it's kind of fun to know that Mason will be here in a little over a week (if not before!)
