41 weeks!

Yesterday, Steve and I did some walking. We walked around the mall in the afternoon after a yummy burger at Fuddruckers, and then we took a walk through the neighborhood at about 8pm. I barely made it home in time to use the bathroom, which I was hoping would be a positive sign of something, but nothing! When we got home from our mall walk, I went online and saw that another June mommy had her baby about a week ago. At that point, I pretty much lost it. I was walking into the kitchen and I dropped my plastic cup, so I threw it away, and then went to lie down, where I started bawling. I can't even describe how awful I felt.

Following "doctor's orders" and the recommendations from some of the lovely ladies here, Steve and I also decided to DTD last night. I thought it was going to be a logistical and physical nightmare, but it actually ended up being quite good, for those who care ;). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have worked, as I'm still sitting here pregnant!

I'm still really on the fence about canceling and/or rescheduling my induction. On the one hand, I'd like to see if my body will do what it's supposed to do. I'm dilating and effacing, I'm just not contracting. On the other hand, we do have some time constraints squeezing down on us, and I'm just tired of waiting. I want to see how today goes, but I don't know that it's going to help at all.

Didn't your doctor say he was on the big side when he guesstimated? All the baby is doing at this pt is gaining weight, so personally, I'd rather get in for the induction than deliver a 10 lb baby, kwim?

Hopefully a suprise is in store for you tonight.

My doctors never guesstimated his weight, so I have no clue how big he is. However, that was a concern of mine, that he would be huge if I wait too long.
