Baby on the brain?

We had another doctors appointment this week. Emery's still doing good and weighing in at an estimated 5 lbs. Knowing that at least FIVE of the pounds on the scale equal nugget (the baby variety) and not doritos makes me feel good. Dr. Ward has an amazing sense of humor. While still "appearing" sympathetic, he maintained his ground that he WILL not take the nugget any sooner than planned. I would feel more guilty about wanting her to just be "borned" already but I know for a FACT that I'm not the only person this close to having a baby who has almost BEGGED her doctor for an early induction.

Even tho I was firmly told no, it makes me grateful for the modern medicine that allows women more freedom, safety and choice in regards to the birthing process.



Or....



Which would you decide?



I'm really looking forward to the time off that I have coming up. I know that there are alot of women who work up until the day that they deliver, but Lord knows that that's not going to be me. I'll have some time to tie up any loose ends in getting ready for D-Day but I'm mostly excited to abuse the weeks off and just relax. It's going to be at least another... and this is a guestimate... 18 years before I'll have a chance to do it again, so why not take advantage now?
