Waiting...

No baby yet.
Nurse called about an hour before we were supposed to be there this morning to say labor and delivery was full...
Of course, I'm all for deferring as long as possible, especially to give my spot to women who are actually in labor, but it was disappointing all the same.
It's looking like maybe tomorrow morning.
"Maybe."

The silver lining?
One more day to go into labor on my own.
One more night as a family of 3.
A greater chance that there will actually be a room for me when we arrive. ha!

Say a prayer that all goes well!!

And so we wait... and answer everyone's questions.

Yes, I am still pregnant.
No, there haven't been any real signs that she's coming soon. A few things here and there, but nothing to write home about.
Yes, I am due on Saturday.
Yes, I am still working.
Yes, Evelyn is excited and no, we don't think she entirely "gets" what's about the happen.
Yes, she's likely to be about the same size as Evelyn. We had an ultrasound 2 days ago and the guess she's about 8lbs, already, but those estimates can be off by 1-2lbs, on either side.
Yes, I continue to try nearly everything in the realm of "natural" induction methods (teas, oils, acupuncture, pineapple, yoga ball, spicy food, walking miles, etc etc etc), in hopes of avoiding a hospital induction, like with Evelyn, but am completely ok with going that route if it comes to it. Hey, at least we know what to expect.

 And finally, yes, we will blog/text/email as soon as we have her.
 WE PROMISE!!!

 Here's a peek at the little lady from a couple of days ago.
