He's still cooking....

 Today is our due date and no baby. I guess I'm not really that surprised, Dan and I were both late and statistically, first babies are usually late so I guess we just have to wait. I have another doctor appointment tomorrow afternoon and I will be asking him about induction. I almost don't want an induction because I don't want to really mess with nature and I know that he'll come when he's ready but I feel like I'm wasting time here at home when I could be a mom already. Selfish I know and I just need to get over it. Dan is walking around moping most of the time. He's so anxious to meet his son and we really thought it was going to happen this past weekend. At least he's not a Valentine's baby and that's what I wanted. :) I continue to feel cramps a few times each day, but they do go away so I assume that means I'm making progress. At least if my doc agrees to do an induction I won't feel "so" guilty about it since my body is obviously getting ready for birth. His head is where it needs to be, I am dilated and effaced, it's not like I'm not dilated at all or effaced and asking for an induction. I also worry because with an induction they basically hook you up to the pitocin and I wouldn't be able to walk the halls to help with the labor. I really want the option to be mobile during labor.
Well, not much else to report. Here's baby boy at 40 weeks 1 day. I will be sure to update after the doctor appointment. Until tomorrow....
