Due date

So, todays my due date. I don't take much stock in due dates especially since Thomas was 10 days "late," but there is something to be said about it changing you mentally as it approaches. I am starting to get antsy and annoyed that I haven't had the baby yet although I still feel great and really should just be enjoying this quite time. We are trying our best but I do feel like it's just a waiting game. I also really don't want to get induced so it's more the fear of that weighing me down. Fingers crossed though that it will happen. If not, I have a tentative induction date of Feb. 8th because that's when my doctor is on call and I would prefer to deliver with her, especially if it's an induction. So that's probably as far as I will go. I have another acupuncture session scheduled for the end of this week in case nothing happens so we will see. I honestly feel like it's not going to happen anytime soon, and since my back pain has gone away, I feel like I could be pregnant another month!!! Haha. I know that at least won't happen. Thomas is understanding more and more that there is going to be a baby coming home. He knows that his Uncle Doug is going to stay with him when we have to go to the hospital. He also keeps crawling around imitating a baby every night and saying that he is going to teach the baby to crawl. Today is Doug's birthday, a few days ago was Shem's Mom's birthday, and Shem's birthday is this Thursday. So no matter when this little guy is born this week, he will be in good company.

my dr told me when they set my induction date that 70% of people go before the induction date. I wasn't part of the 70%, but I hope you are! Thinking about you.
