Why Isn't She Moving?

So this morning I woke up like any other morning...Took the pups on a walk and did some random chores before heading out to my massage at ten with Peggy.  When I got home and got out of the shower I realized I hadn't felt her moving ALL morning!  Usually when I'm getting a massage I feel her kicking around since I'm just laying there, but nothing.  Then I ate a half of a PB&J and laid down to see if she woke up...still nothing.  I told John and he said not to worry but I couldn't help myself so I called Dr. Katz's office.  I spoke to Wendy, since Dr. Katz is out til Thursday, and she told me to head over to labor and delivery asap.

So on my way over to the hospital I thought I felt her move around a little bit...then as I was waiting to check in, I definitely started to feel her.  Why did it take her this long???  By the time John came she was back to her usual self, kicking and pushing around.  Because we were already at the hospital we decided to go ahead and do the fetal monitoring...sure enough, everything is fine and I'm just a paranoid mommy to be!  

Anyways, I'm 37 weeks 3 days and 10 days until my scheduled induction.  I'm scared and don't know if I should be induced or wait for her to come on her own....we're going to an appointment on Thursday so I'll know more after that.
