August 1 has finally arrived and although baby Laurel hasn't I am still having a good time celebrating due date day :-) Will and I went to the doctor's yesterday (39 weeks 6 days) and I was still not dialated at all. We aren't really sure why that is because everything would indicate that her due date is completely right. Our doctor (who I really respect and trust!) recommended that we set an induction date for next week. I am pleased to announce that Laurel's new birthday (unless she surprises us by making a rapid entry into the world) will be Wednesday, August 6! I am so excited to have a date on the calendar and to know we will be going to the hospital in only 5 days. I had been excited about going into labor on my own, but Will and I really think this is the best thing for us to do and I am trusting in God's perfect plans for the delivery day.
Check back later today for my 9 month belly picture!!! I know I have been horrible about getting pictures, but I can at least take one at 40 weeks.

Picture!!!
I am so excited to know that at the very latest I will meet my little niece in only 5 days! I am still going to pray that you go into labor on your own between now and then:)
Love you!
Congratulations to making it to 40 weeks!!! Can't wait to see little Laurel in person!
Here is a nifty little questionarre that the American Collge of OBGYNs developed to help doctors know which inductions are most likely to go well and which ones are most likely to have problems: http://www.childbirth.org/interactive/induction.html
If you don't know the answers to the questions you can either leave it blank or ask your OBGYN. I found it helpful for deciding whether or not to be induced myself (in my case we decided my body was super primed for induction).
Whatever you choose, I'll be praying for you that it goes smoothly!!!
OH MEG!!! It's amazing how every womans body is so different!!! To encourage you are doing so well joyfully waiting upon the Lord for His timing. I struggled greatly with that because all my babies never wanted to come out on their own. It was too cozy in there!!
I think they would have stayed inside if they could have...
At least you have an official date now to look forward to...exciting!!
Love you!!!!!!!
