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.

getting tired of this...5 days late!
Sorry I haven't updated anyone recently, but I'm unfortunately out of things to say. Nothing has changed, no progress, no new contractions, no loss of anything (other than patience) and no sign of this baby coming anytime soon. What the heck??
I'm growing weary...and larger...and tired...and swollen! I'm SO OVER IT! Come out little baby!
I hope I'm not going to have to coax him out of or into everything in his life! Ugh!
Don't expect any more posts unless something amazing happens...or until after I visit the doctor on FRIDAY. :)

40 weeks
Sheesh...I guess I better update everyone before someone has a heart attack.
Well...I'm now 40 weeks and 1 day. Yeah for me.
The doctor said yesterday that I was almost fully effaced and 1 cm dialated. I am having contractions but they aren't lasting long and they certainly don't hurt. That means what exactly? Pretty much nothing. It means that I will go back to the doctor next Friday and get checked again if nothing happens in between. Then we'll discuss what options I have. At that point, depending on how I'm feeling (which honestly I can't see how it could be much worse) we'll discuss the possibility of an induction...but as most of you know, I really don't want that option.
So there's the update for my "fan club" that I didn't know I had! :)
For instant updates, please refer to Facebook...that will be how we'll inform people of any REAL news (Josh will be in charge of that!).
