40+

Well, the due date has come and gone. I'm getting bigger, and so is he, so he should be a strapping young man when he arrives (ha! I just thought that sounded funny so I wrote it in here). The doctor thinks he's going to be about 7 1/2 lbs, which will be a bit bigger than Mackenzie - and they used a vacuum with her, too - so the pushing phase should be interesting this time around (only 4 pushes with her).

I go back on Wednesday to be put on a monitor and then start getting some medical 'help' as the doctor put it. This after I came to the realization last night that I was not going to ask to be induced. My main concern was that I was going to miss Mackenzie's first day of preschool, but as long as I'm not actually giving birth during those few hours, Jason can be there, which I'll be sad about, but she'll be fine with. I'd rather not have too many medical interventions if I can help it.

Anyway, we're ready whenever my body is ready - the doctor insists that the baby is ready, too, so it's just a waiting game.
