The day it could have been...
Well, it's 8:15 p.m. on Saturday the 9th. Chase would probably be here right now if we would have gone ahead with the induction. But he's still tucked in safely right here between me and the key board. But you know what...that's OK. I have a lot of peace about waiting a little longer. I think it was the right thing to do. The night before last (Thursday night) was the best night's sleep I've had in months...and it was followed by a really good day. I had lunch, went to the puppy park, and went swimming with friends. And then Preston and I went to dinner and then to the movies with more friends. I was happy and content all day which made me believe even more that everything was as it should be.
Oh, and about swimming...so I think my bathing suit shrunk. Oh wait...no...I just keep growing exponentially. Seriously, I wore it on the 3rd and it covered up my belly much better then than it did yesterday at the pool. Haha. I'm down to 4 shirts that still fit and 2 tank tops....so if you see me wearing the same thing all the time...that's why.
Today has been a good day also. Preston and I have done a lot around the house and just hung out together. We've rented a movie for tonight so we'll continue with the slumber party in the living room as we have been for the past several nights. Preston has actually ditched the couch and gotten out the air mattress. :) That's probably where we'll sleep until Chase is here.
Come on Chase...we're ready to see you...

All I can say is babies definately have a mind of their own. But God does know the best timing. Our daughter was 10 days late, yes 10 days. I sat around the house for over 2 weeks doing nothing but waiting on Alyssa. And with Noah, I wanted my doctor to induce me every week I went. But he came on his own, only 2 days late. I know exactly how you are feeling, thinking Chase will never come, but he will. All I can say is enjoy every minute that you have with yourself (you won't get that again for a while) and with Preston. Children bring so much joy to the family, but your relationship with your husband will be forever changed, more complete but different. I have to admit, I am jealous of your situation, looking forward to the birth of your son and a lifetime of joy. Ethan and I will pray that Chase is healthy and safe in your arms soon.
