Still waiting. Impatiently waiting. It looks like she might overstay her welcome. My next appointment is on Friday, and I'm sure we'll talk induction at that time. Josh has been begging me everyday this week to call the doctor to see if we can get induced this week, but since I really don't want to be induced until after 40 weeks, I'm being patient. I think I'm just worried about having a 9 pound baby. (And Ryley - I totally admire you for having a 9 pound baby completely natural - I just don't want that to be me!!!)
I'm still hoping for any day now - but so far I'm still just having Braxton Hicks contractions. For probably the first time in my life I'm looking forward to feeling some pain - because that will mean she will actually be coming!

I know how you are feeling.. I thought he'd NEVER come.. but dont get induced.. she'll come on her own.. Don't kick her out! :)
Don't you want to just experiance going into labor?? :) sorry.. I just was so afraid of being induced.. but mainly just because I wanted to go naturally..
And I was terrified of the 9lbs baby thing too.. but really he's still tiny.. everyone tells me how tiny he is.. and it didnt seem like a 9lbs baby coming out! :) I promise!!!!!!!!!
Oh..and my husband has NO baby experiance either.. everyone was super worried about him.. he's more of a natural at it than I am... it completely amazed me. He's just not so good with the whole outfit thing..
oh..and another funny story. he wont touch his butt to put destin on it. so he gets some toilet paper.. puts the destin on the toilet paper than uses that to smear it on him! Funny huh?? :)
Maybe a couple weeks after she get here we should have a play date!! :) You'll need some adult interaction after Josh goes back to work! :)
KUDOS to you for not choosing voluntary induction until 40 weeks. That's such a smart move!!! Trust in the process, unless there's a medical reason to intervene.
I've been wondering about you all week....glad to hear all is well. Stay patient!!
I am with you Deborah...I feel like I am moving in the wrong direction!! I had some strong contractions the other night, but they went away and I haven't had anything since, except for a ton of braxton hicks. I think he is going to be huge! haha I am totally parinoid about having a baby I can't even push out. I probably won't beat you, but I will keep you updated!
I've been thinking about you, Deborah! I don't blame you for not wanting to be induced; she'll come when she's ready, and that will be SOON. Whether it's a matter of days or weeks, it'll be soon!!
Just checking. Crossing my fingers for you!
I know it doesn't help.. but remember when I was in the same boat? I wanted nothing to do with my next appointment and was so upset thinking he was never going to come out and when he did he was going to be 20lbs! I was ready to do anything.. and then the day before he was due... out he came...
I promise you'll look back and this and think it was silly that you worried so much... I know I do.. Just keep plugging along and try to keep your mind off of it.. (I know.. IMPOSSIBLE!) :)
