Still Pregnant......

Yes, I am officially past due!!! Christmas came & went and I truly did not want to have him over the holidays. I was scared I would because I had a Dr. appointment the friday before, and the doctor stripped my membranes without even asking me if I wanted that done!!! All I could remember was they stripped my membranes when I was pregnant with Haille, and I ended up in labor that night. I REALLY did not want to be in the hospital over the holidays, and I took it easy all weekend long trying not to throw myself into labor. Which, of course, is the weekend that I had a list of things to do, and had to keep off my feet..... I must be the only 9-month pregnant woman who DOESN'T want to deliver as soon as I can. So, whew, we made it past Christmas, and I was thrilled to go back to work. I KNOW!!!! I WANTED TO GO BACK TO WORK!!! What is wrong with me?? But now I could relax and baby boy can make his debut whenever he wants. Turns out, he must be really comfortable!!! At first, I didn't want to have him, and now that I'm ready, he's not coming!!! I was hoping it would be sometime in 2007, but that's out of my control. No tax deduction, and no New Year's baby for us!! I went back to the doctor last friday, and she stripped my membranes AGAIN, unsure why nothing happened the first time she did that. I'm dialated to a 3 and almost fully effaced, so I was sure this was going to start labor soon. Fast forward to today, and here I sit, still pregnant, and to say I'm "uncomfortable" is putting it lightly. I've got another doctor appointment tomorrow, and this time they are going to give me a non-stress test and an ultrasound to make sure baby boy is OK, and decide what to do from there. A part of me wants to let nature take it's course, and bypass an induction, but a BIGGER part of me is like Let's get this show on the road!!! I'm ready!!!
