40 weeks + 3 days

Amazingly, I am still pregnant. I had a check up today to see how things are progressing. My doctor is great and is not in any hurry, waiting patiently for nature to take it's course. And I'm glad, because I know that the likelihood of having interventions skyrockets when you are induced. But needless to say, I'm more than ready. I'm feeling pretty heavy and uncomfortable, and carrying Liam very low - lower than his brothers. My original due date, pre-ultrasound, was Feb 17th, so maybe that's closer to the real date he'll emerge. For now, I'm just thankful that he's healthy, his little heart is beating strong at 145 beats per minute, and I know that he'll come out when he's ready. Perhaps he is waiting until the 16th so that he can share his birth date with his brothers (they're Mar 16th and May 16th). I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
