Will she EVER come?!?


We are 4 days away from the due date, but it looks like it's going to be longer than that. I had a doctors appointment yesterday where I was told, "Yep, looks like you're definitely going to go past your due date." I wanted to punch someone in the face. He also said there's no chance of inducing me any time soon either because of the way things are positioned. So it looks like it may be a while. Who knows how much longer. Doug and I have started taking walks almost every day. It seems to help a little and it's nice to get out of the house and enjoy the beautiful weather. We also researched some other things that can help to start labor. I won't mention all of them, but some are fresh pineapple, raspberry tea, Castor oil... and the list goes on. We did buy a pineapple last night. We'll see if it helps.

We are incredibly excited for our families to come out. My mom and sister Kaylyn will be coming out on Friday, the 15th. Hopefully baby decides to come before then, but if not, we'll all have a good time hanging out together and we'll be happier because we will all get more sleep than we would have otherwise. :) We're also excited because Doug's mom will be coming down as soon as she hears that we're headed to the hospital. And his family is coming too because Doug's brother James is going to the MTC on the 13th! He's headed to Honduras!

Also, I had my last day of work on Wednesday. I will miss all my work friends, but it's good to stay home and have plenty of relaxation and time to get all the last little things done.

Shauna,
looks like we are in exactly the same position right now. We were both due on the 12th, and nothing has happened for me yet. And the doctor said the same thing about inducing me. Well, I am hoping things happen this weekend for you and for me! Good luck!
