frustration

so, i'm 41 wks and 1 day (that's 8 days overdue) and I'm not even a fingertip dialated, only 50% effaced and "not even favorable for an induction yet" according to my latest checkup this morning. the baby is also measuring in at 9 lbs (but they could be off by a pound--STILL!?!) already.
i go back on monday for another checkup and they have tentatively scheduled me for an induction on wednesday. why is this baby so stinkin' stubborn? he'd better be really cute.
i'm trying to have a good attitude about it, but it's getting harder and harder. i just wish there was something i could do--but there isn't. nothing i've tried has worked...
i know i should "let go and let God" but that's so much easier said than done. i just want to hold my baby!
thank you to everyone who has been sending up prayers and well-wishes. i do appreciate your encouragement and thoughtfulness. sorry if i don't feel like chatting too much about it. once he arrives, i'll feel much more inclined to talk.
