40+ weeks... and waiting

Your due date arrived and there were little signs of labor in sight. Now we are just waiting patiently for you arrival, currently we are 3 days past the anticipated due date. We know you will make your arrival when the time is right. Not to say that I haven't tried an array of things to encourage you. Which may or may not include eggplant lasagna, bowling, spicy food, mall walking, raspberry leaf tea, bumpy roads, etc. 

On Tuesday we will visit the doctor again to see how things are progressing. At the last visit I was 3cm 70% effaced which seemed promising that labor was in sight. Let's hope this time there will be more progression. If labor does not start on its own in the next week we will be faced with a difficult decision of inducing labor or scheduling another c-section. I have been praying that you arrive before we have to make this decision, as we are torn on what the best thing to do is.  Either way we know we will be meeting you soon and this is a very exciting thought. We are just praying that you are healthy and labor uncomplicated. Everything else will fall into place. I can't wait to hold you in my arms.
