Well, I think everything I ever wanted not to happen is happening with this birth, but I feel like we are making the best decision based on the info we have. Long story short, my amniotic fluid is measuring very high (polyhydramnios) and because of this baby cannot engage. The concern of both my OB and MW is that if we wait for labor to start on its own and my water breaks before I am the hospital there is a serious risk of cord prolapse, so we want to control breaking the water and get her to settle down to reduce this risk.
I'm really nervous about this. Thankfully my cervix is soft and effaced to a point, so we're hoping this takes better than my induction with James. My MW will be there the whole time and the OB on call. We're starting with trying to break the bag of waters first, seeing how it gets going and we're hoping to avoid pitocin if at all possible. So if you could send prayers that this induction goes smoothly and there are no cord issues that would be awesome.
I'm going in at 11 am and I'm planning on being in labor just long to get to Wednesday and have a real lucky clover 
I figure her 21st birthday will be epic, which was confirmed to me by my college age sister and her roommates. Always look on the bright side of life, right?
