:-(

Well, tomorrow is the 31st.... The last day of the year.... And no sign of Jeremy Jr yet.

:-(

I'm trying to stay optimistic. I'm trying to convince myself that he's gonna come when he's good and ready to come, and that it's foolish to try and rush him--that is, after all, one of the main reasons we went with a midwife vs. an OB. I have no doubt in my mind that I would have been induced by now if I were still with my Dr. I bet the hospitals see a spike in inductions right before the new year; Gotta get that tax credit, after all.

But here we are, approaching 2007, and Jeremy Jr is still contently sitting pretty where he is. And as our due date nears, and I hear stories from various women from the "Soon To Be Moms'" class that I took in the fall, and how they've had their babies (one of them was delivered by c-section at 38 weeks because of suspicions of a big baby, and that vaginal delivery would be difficult [because his chest was bigger than his head or something]) and I can't help but be a bit sad. Of course, I'm very anxious, and trying to be patient, but y'know what??? I'VE HAD ENOUGH ALREADY!

I feel bad for Ted, as he's only here another day and a half (goes back to the frigid north Monday). There's a good chance (at least the way things are lookin' right now) that he won't meet his grandson before he leaves. What would suck even more is if Charity didn't get to meet him--she's been here since the 17th! Of course, Jeremy Jr. operates solely on HIS schedule--not mine, Jeremy's, Dr's, Grandparents, midwives, no ones but his. I know it's not my fault he's not here yet. Obviously, I'm doing something right, or else he'd be out by now.

It still sux, though.

And that's why I'm :-(
