Update: Almost 41 Weeks Pregnant

We're nearly a week past my due date and doing pretty good. Everyday I wonder if I will end up in the hospital, but I feel so good that I don't believe I will. Part of me wonders if my due date is off or what?! Don't most people want their baby OUT at the end of their pregnancy? I'm just thankful he likes it inside of me and there isn't a huge reason for him to come out.

On Wed., we are scheduled to induce labor and I keep praying he comes before that time, but if he doesn't we'll be okay. People have been so encouraging and I've never known how many of my friends have been induced (and they did just fine). I guess there is a part of me that feels like its anti-climatic because its "scheduled" and planned out. On the other hand, there is a great thing about planning. In any case, next week I will be holding my baby, which makes me cry.

Crying is something I've been doing a lot. A LOT. It must be my hormones. Last night, David and I watched an old movie, A League of Their Own, and I cried at every slightly emotionally charged scene. Sometimes I read comments on my facebook page and just cry. This morning I cried because I will no longer need to drink "pregnancy tea" after the baby is born. I also cried because I won't have time to write in my journal or blog as much as I'd like. I cried because I looked at the baby crib down the hall from my room. Everything is making me cry and I can't imagine how I will be after the baby is born. Maybe I am getting it all out now and will be cry-free after he's born. We'll see.

This morning we are headed to church. It's sorta funny because I was suppose to have the baby by now, so I'm sure we'll get some comments. I don't have any new pics, so I'll try to find something to post for your viewing enjoyment. :)
Let's see...
