Another Week & No Baby

Yeah, I know it's wishful thinking that Luke will come early, but I can hope at least, right? :) Jonathan was able to come to my doctor's appointment this morning, which was nice. Everything still looks the same...nothing new to report. My doctor reminded me that my due date is just an estimate and assured me that they wouldn't let me go more than 10 days past it. Gee, thanks. Next Thursday I go back and my doc said he'll check to see if I'm dilated. If I am, he said he may be able to rupture the membranes, or something lovely like that, which will induce labor within 24 hours if it works. That's right, IF it works. It doesn't sound very pleasant, so I'm rooting for Luke to come on his own before next week! Who's with me??

Yeah, I say he will come when he is ready, why rush it? It just means diapers, crying, and no sleep a little earlier :) I think you should try to enjoy your last few days with just you and Jonathan. I definitely love both my kids, but I sure miss the "just me and Stephen" times.

But maybe once you hit your due date and he is still not here your antsy-ness (is this a word?) might win out. :)

Well...Amanda...let's just say i'm praying that you go into labor on your own. Rupturing membranes and breaking water are not my most memorable experiences I have ever had...I'll just leave it at that :) Seriously though, you will do just fine and you will have a wonderful delivery and an amazing baby at the end! Praying for you lots!
