So much to be grateful for

Saw the doctor today and got word that I am still "very closed" and with my due date tomorrow things are looking less and less like this baby will come on time or even of his own accord. We scheduled an ultrasound and non-stress test for Friday to make sure he is still doing ok in there which I am sure he is- he still moves around like there is something really exciting going on in there. We scheduled an induction to start the evening of July 5th and will just hope and pray we don't have to do that.

So this was not the news I was hoping to get this week. I left the office totally defeated and so sad that I might really never go in to labor on my own. But my wise husband reminded me that there are much worse problems to have than a baby that doesn't want to come out. There are lots of people in the world that would and should slap me for feeling sad that I have a pregnancy so healthy and a baby so happy that I might have to endure it for 42 weeks instead of 40. Woman who have been struggling with infertility for years would kill to have such a problem. Moms who had there babies early and have to watch them struggle to breath in the NICU for weeks would have done anything to keep their babies in a little longer. And the couple that I saw in the doctor's office having their first ultrasound today who were hugging each other and crying in the parking lot as I was leaving would love to be in my shoes right now.

So pitty party over! I will just enjoy the last few days of having my baby inside because once he is out that part is over and everything will be different.
