So my due date is here but I guess John didn't get the memo :) I go to the doctor tomorrow but as of now I'm not in labor and he shows no signs of coming soon. My professors and friends at school keep asking why I'm still there; I wish I weren't! Finals and Thanksgiving are going to be more difficult the longer he decides to wait. Every time I call a family member they think I'm in labor (or if I don't answer a call). I have my phone off most of the day if I'm at school so that it doesn't ring during class. So, as of now I'm just trying to stay caught up in school, trying to get more baby things ready for his arrival, and getting even bigger (I didn't think that was possible but people are starting to ask if I'm having twins).
I have one outfit that still fits; fits being defined as my stomach is completely covered, but the pouch on my pants is visible at the bottom because my shirt won't reach as far anymore. Being this pregnant is not fun but it is worth it. I can't sit for too long or I'm in pain, I can't stand too long or I'm in pain, I can't lay down too long or I'm in pain. I can't see anything past mid-belly. It is getting harder to resist tempting treats with the holidays approaching. I had to visit the bookstore yesterday to run a few errands and the entire store smelled of chocolate and they had so many goodies on display, including all of my favorites. Sigh. Did I mention that I had to pass the yummy homemade fudge. Twice. I really am looking forward to being able to eat chocolate and other sweets again. It's harder to resist knowing I'm not allowed to eat any of it, but I am doing it. It's all for the baby and it's all worth it.

I just checked your blog hoping you would have a quick note on it saying you were on your way to the hospital. BUt I got that lovely update. Glad I checked. Let me know what the doc says tomorrow. Hopefully they can set up an induction date now that you will be officially overdue! I go to my appointment today so I will no if I am progressing at all, but that does not seem to mean anything. Love ya, hang in there.
Well, all of us thought he would come early. Just goes to show you--what do we know?! He'll be here soon. See you tomorrow.
When I went to the store like that with David people actually pointed and stared at me. Hello just 9 months pregnant people! (Still have to go about life.) Be sure to have Robert post pictures...and if you want to have a meltdown tonight...that worked for getting William to come. :)
I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. We are keeping you and Robert in our prayers!
I love you Natalie, and it will be sooo worth it. You are my hero!
