In due time....

My due date is today....I have done everything I am supposed to do. I am eaten well, gained only 25 pounds, kept my activity steady and tried to avoid stress (although moving into a new home and some marital crap would have some disagreeing!). This baby loves it so much inside me that it doesn't want to come out!



The doctor has tried without success to get things going. Without going into medical jargon, it looks like September 18th, I will be induced because the baby hasn't fully dropped and I'm locked up tight.
But hey, I'm still optimistic. If this baby takes after me, it will be on time; if it takes after my husband--it will be late! The doctor says, hey I may see you before our next appointment on Wednesday the 13th, but chances are I'll see you Wednesday...
Today is a day that I thought would never come. It sounds so foolish but when you have tried for so long, endured losses, wished, hoped, prayed, yearned for this day; its sorta surreal.
I am so ready to meet this little baby that has inhabited my body for so long. I can't wait to kiss his/her little toes, figure out whose nose he/she has, and have no sleep!
Hopefully the next time I post, it will be the birth story of Baby Carroll....
