Baby News (or lack thereof)...

What the baby to the right really means is 1 day "overdue" not one day to go... yesterday was my due date and I am still pregnant!! I could've sworn he was coming a long time ago. Oh well. My family is here and we are having lots of fun. Now its getting down to crunch time. He better be here by the 31st. I've worked hard for him most of the year and would love to enjoy the tax benefits of having one more child!! Not to mention that I'm sure he's getting big in there.
Really, I'm quite content. For the most part, I feel pretty good. Here I am, writing this, having contractions and I hope they start hurting me. I'm actually praying for pain!! How silly. The thing that makes me the most nervous is the clinic I've been going to wont induce until I am 2 weeks past due. That's a long ways away! What if my body just can't go into labor on its own? I got pitocin with Tyler at a 2 and they were able to turn it off hours later when I was at a 5 because my body was progressing on its own.
I'm getting really eager to see this little guy and to cuddle with him and introduce him to all of our loved ones!

Oh man, I can't believe they won't induce you until you're 2 weeks over! I had a doctor try to tell me that... when I was pregnant with Will. I also understand wanting him here by the 31st! I mean- you deserve it! I would think your doctors could induce you just for that- I mean, have a heart!

Thanks for posting- you guys are in our thoughts and prayers! I can't wait to hear the wonderful news! Enjoy your family!

Becca is flippin' hilarious!!! Two weeks overdue is INSANE! I can't believe any dr. out there would actually make a woman suffer for 2 whole extra weeks in this day and age. Sheesh!!!!!! Must be a man! We'll send some extra prayers out for you guys too. Good luck!

We've been wondering what was going on with you! I thought for sure he'd be here by now! Hopefully we can hurry and get better in time to bring you a meal. Good luck- hang in there!
