So for all of your curious folks. We don't have a baby yet. We went into the doctor today and even they were surprised he hadn't made his debut yet. We got hooked up to a fetal monitor today and baby is as happy and healthy as can be in there so no need to worry. My midwife tells me I have progressed more than some women in active labor at the hospital. We are now at a solid 4cm dilated, 80% or more effaced and he is at +1 station(meaning he is about 2 inches or so from crowning, my water bag is bulging below the cervix she was shocked it hadn't broken yet. When I do go into labor she assumes it will go fast. I guess there are worse things and as the midwife reminded me every centimeter I gain now is one I don't have to earn later in labor. So here is hoping that we won't have to wait another week and he comes soon. I am in good spirits overall just can't wait until he is here.
How big will Laura get before this baby comes?

As you well know I am one of the curious ones...:-) you are amazing .... patience is a wonderful attribute. The pic looks like you are holding him...cute...we'll be up on Friday so I'm sure we'll see him by then.
Maybe if you started pushing down on the top of your belly he'd just pop out!!! Ha ha! I'm thinking of you daily, can't wait to hear the good news and see his little face!
Thanks for updating because I've been checking SEVERAL times a day to see if baby's here. God bless you in your "final moments" of pregnancy.
