The verdict...

I called every doctor in the world today and no one will force him out. I called my doctor here and they said that Magee wouldn't see me until after my due date. They didn't realize that I'm already 5 days past that. So they instructed me to call the hospital and schedule an appointment with them. The genetics counselor down there said that they won't see me until I'm at least a 1 - 2 weeks overdue. Then they will decide if intervention for him to be born is necessary. I then called my doctor's here to schedule an appointment here.

Needless to say, I'm frustrated. I want to meet this guy and I've waited long enough. I don't know how long I will have him for, so the sooner he comes out, the better. Of course, I could take into account that he doesn't want to come out yet because he's trying to come out healthier than he would be if he came out now. He's taken the wheel here, but I want to stomp on the brakes and get him out. I'm already nervous about giving birth and doing this by myself. Why add more stress to mommy? Oh right, this is my child and it makes sense that he would chill in there until someone forces him out of the comfort of my womb.

Updates will follow tomorrow...

Be patient, he will come, and in that last minute before he enters this world, life will forever change...
I was 25 and single when I had my daughter. I moved back home, and was so sick I could barely move. At 37 weeks, i started going Pre-eclamptic. Not to mention I was big as a house and miserable. I was DONE being pregnant. I begged my doc, and he induced me. Almost 24 hours in to the inducement, i still had not dilated past two, and I started feeling funny. My daughter's cord had abrupted. Within minutes I was in an operating room, and not only could I have lost her, I was bleeding bad enough that it could have killed me. I thank God for having my family by my side, and for my doctors who knew something was terribly wrong.
Trust them, all of them, they will get you through this. It is a scary ending, but when you hold him, all your fears will dissipate! Oh, one more thing...they had to go "find" my daughter, she was hiding up under my ribs!!Silly baby, she wasn't so sure about coming out either!
I can't wait to meet both of you! Take a big breath and enjoy being pregnant today. It's all on Caleb's time now, and you never know...this COULD be the last day you are pregnant!!
