3 days passed my due date, and still no baby. I didn't really think it was possible to go overdue with your third child. I mean after all, it's the third time your body has done this, doesn't it know what to do at this point? Yes, I was 10 days overdue with Anise, but she was so little I figured that was why. This time I'm worried the baby is going to be huge - and my definition of huge is anything over 7 pounds - Kaden was 6lbs 12oz, and Anise was 5lbs 1oz, so you can see why my view of huge may be a bit distorted.
I have been given an induction date (not to be confused with a seduction date - hehehe, thanks for sharing that one Michelle, it really made my day!) May 27th. Yup, 11 long days after my due date! But at least there is an end in sight, even if you need binoculars to see it. Until then, I have to go to the hospital every 2 or 3 days for a non stress test, to make sure baby is still doing OK hanging out in there longer. I had my first one today, and I was having contractions the entire time I was there (which by the way totally defeats the purpose of a non stress test, but now we know the baby can handle contractions) Actually, I've been having contractions since 3am, but they are random and obviously not doing a whole lot. So, until they pick up I'm still hanging out at home, running kids here and there, and praying that I don't have to wait until the 27th to have this child.
Lets start a baby pool. When's this kid going to make an appearance?

I say Saturday, May 22nd at 10pm.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good at guessing but I'd say the 20th... really really late. Or something like that. Also your idea of a big baby is definitely distorted, my first was 8'10" and my second was 9'3". so good luck I hope you don't have to experience that!!

Okay I must be bad at leaving comments -- I think I close the browser before I've put the security code in or something... Anyway, what I said last night was that I think it will be this weekend (let's say the 23rd), and that Audy's due this week too so maybe you guys will be in the hospital at the same time! Hope you're feeling good these last days :).
ReplyDeleteI went overdue with Brett, my fourth. And he was my longest labor. Nope, bodies don't know what they're supposed to do. I really hope you go into labor and don't have to wait until the 27th. Hmmm, my guess is the 23rd, labor will start at church haha. And baby will be 7 lbs 15 oz.
ReplyDeletei say the 22 or the 23
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! I'm a link in someone's blog! Thanks! As for the baby, I say the 23rd. Here's hoping it comes before the 27th. That seems like a long time to wait!
ReplyDeleteOk if you are still waiting I am guessing your little babe will come May 27. Don't hate me but I think it would be good to have a 8 lb child... I mean I turned out pretty well.... Good luck!
ReplyDeleteStill nothing? Okay, I'll play. How about the 27th, at 8am?
