Due date is tomorrow

Tomorrow is our due date. At this point I'm thinking it will pass without even a contraction. It's true that I have been having more and more Braxton Hicks contractions (mostly in the evenings after dinner), but they are not consistent nor regular.

I really believed that I would go into labor this past weekend. Deep down I had "that" feeling. I guess it must have been something else... I had the same feeling when we found out that I was pregnant. Deep down I just knew we would be having a girl and that turned out to be true...at least I hope so because if not we'll have the prettiest little boy in town dressed all in pink and purple.

Only 5% of women actually deliver on their due date. I'm willing to stick it out as long as it takes for Sophia to arrive naturally. At this point, I really don't want to consider an induction. I go to see the doctor again on Thursday so we'll see what they say. I know that I'll have to be induced if I still haven't delivered by the 19th. That day seems like next month to me at this point!

How frustrating! I keeping thinking, though, that you'll have a baby for Mother's Day! Wouldn't that be GREAT?!

We keep checking, and we can't wait! I had a cold all weekend, and I kept thinking that I hoped the call didn't come because I knew there was no way to come down right away!

Love you all!

I'm sure Sophia will make her debut very soon! She's already testing the patience of her parents already, and she's not even born! :) I can't wait to meet her...
