Two Days Past Due Date......
No Baby Yet! The little bugger just doesn't want to come out. I'll keep you posted on how Kari is doing.
Kari Says:
Midwife appointment went well today. They did a stress test on the baby, everything looked great, lots of activity and a nice strong heartbeat. I will be having an ultrasound on Thursday to make sure that there is still plenty of amniotic fluid for the baby. If everything looks good then they will not induce unless I request it. By having an induction, I would greatly increase my chances of having a C-section, 30% of their patients that are induced have C-Sections. Unlike the 9% C-Section rate that my midwives practice has. They have given me a list of items to eat, drink and do to bring on labor. Two of the items, are marked LAST Resorts after everything else fails. I guess they are really potent and get more than just labor moving, if you know what I mean, wink wink.....
My prediction, Thursday night or Friday, girl! Andy won't make one, CHICKEN!!!

You think if I check this 50 more times today you will go in labor?
You poor thing! I know what you mean about being ready to lose your mind... I was too and they took Gabby at 37 weeks. I can't imagine being overdue!! Like Jamie, I too will be checking the blog VERY often for an update. My prediction: Thursday. :)
Last night, I thought it was starting... but here I am again this morning typing on the computer! Every morning when I wake up in my bed, I get dissapointed. It has to happen, RIGHT?

What can we say, this baby is just like his (or her) mother... STUBBORN!
