Days to go? Weeks to go?

I know Anne understands exactly how I feel and I'm sure some other BLD women can relate as well - will this baby ever decide to come out and meet us?

My doctor keeps telling me second babies come before their due date, but I'm starting to have real doubts about this one, now that I'm only days away from the estimated arrival.

Everything is ready - co-sleeper, car seat, clothes washed, names picked (probably), health insurance (you wouldn't think that might have been a problem, but that's life when the primary breadwinner is still preparing to win bread). We've even scheduled the baptism for October 1st, assuming baby actually arrives by then of course. (Sorry, no trunk show for us either, Shannon, but we'll be thinking of you.)

In good news, Josh seems to be getting more productive as I am getting less productive (though perhaps I should get bonus points for building up fat on baby).

I have nothing else to talk about.

I definitely feel for you, Jill. I hope he or she decides to come soon. I expected the second to come early, too, since Amanda was only two days late. Unfortunately, Caitlyn ended up being eight days late instead. (But at least the labor was much easier the second time.) I really hope #3 doesn't decide to wait that long, though. (I don't want to be in the hospital on Christmas.)
Keep us posted! We're thinking about you!

Wesley was just as 8 days late as Aidan, so get comfortable.

Labor was 90% shorter, though.

Comfortable, I am not. But I'm trying to be more patient.

Tiffany, I hope you don't have to wait so long for baby #3, too, especially since your doctor might be pushing an induction to avoid the holidays. I do NOT recommend an induction if you can avoid it, though I have yet to learn if it's really worse since baby #2 is still hanging in there.
