*cue super sad violin music*
I went to the doctor again today. Apparently when you make it past your due date, they make you come in twice a week. That's a lot. The short version is that gone are the high-flying days where they would induce you just because you were close to your due date, carrying a big-ish baby, and about to have a very public meltdown. Now it seems it's healthier for everyone involved to keep the baby in your belly as long as you can. It's kind of like a contest. And while the baby stays in and keeps growing into a toddler, they hook you up to machines and make you have expensive tests to make sure the baby is still okay.
In case you're wondering, they really don't care if mommy has public meltdowns. Trust me. I speak from embarrassing experience.
So we continue to wait. And wait. And wait. I have a million things that need doing, but only enough energy for about 2 of them. And my poor kids. You know, the ones that are already here. They are very anxious to block this whole pregnancy from their memories. And did I mention that my hands go numb? Yeah, that's a fun part of my pregnancies.
The point is, donuts are my friend.
So that's my poor, pitiful life right now. I need another nap just thinking about it. Hope your part of the world is going well. I'll unveil the most darling baby quilt in another few days. It takes long to quilt with numb hands.

It really will be over before you know it .. just think of it as delaying labor. hang in there.
Hoping she's here by now!!! :) Thinking of you and your sweet family!
Thinking of you!!!!!
I feel for you. My second was FIFTEEN days past due and I was miserable. They finally induced me and he was HUGE...31 years later we find it amusing, but I was NOT amused then. Hoping that as I leave this post you are enjoying a sweet new baby...
Hang in there....I feel you :)
Well, I know from Instagram you had her. She is beautiful. Hugs to you!
Try having one at 39 like I did. A week before I was due, I showed now signs of going into labor. My next doctor's appointment was 1 day after I was due. He said if I hadn't had her yet by then, he would induce me. I was shocked. Only one day over?! Guess what....when you're almost 40, they don't like you to go over at all. My advice...have your next one at 40. Haha. :-) Love ya.
