Still No Joe!

Well, I had my 40 week OB checkup today - it WAS the due date. I have made NO progress since last week. In fact, apparently I've regressed if that's at all possible. The doctor I saw last week told me I was dilated to 2cm and this week my doctor told me that actually I was more like 1.5 cm! Wrong way! I'm so frustrated and really did not expect to go this long the second time around, especially with my level of activity. Apparently, my babies like to just stay in there indefinitely. She knows I do not want to induce so she scheduled me for a sonogram next Monday the 23rd. If I still have not had him by Monday and he looks okay, then she'll let me go up to one more week which would be the 30th, then induce. If it looks like he's no longer thriving then she will induce next Monday the 23rd after the sonogram. We are hoping and praying that Joe decides to come out on his own and greet the world before Monday. We are so anxious to meet him and start our life with him in it. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we are waiting on pins and needles over here. Carla Yeah, we both are getting pretty frustrated, but I especially feel for Carla. After lugging a little one around for 9 months and still not sure when he is coming out, that takes its toll. I keep telling her that our babies don't want to come out because they are liking it so much in there. She treats herself and our babies so well during pregnancy, they see no reason to leave. I had a feeling Joe was going to be late too because Jack was a couple days late (we ended up inducing). Also, each day I leave work, I try to prepare that I will be gone for the next 2 weeks. I send all these e-mails out with updates so everyone can cover for me. Every morning they are surprised to see me. It does give me an excuse to keep organized. Well I gotta go watch the Rangers put a whoopin on the White Sox. Brent
