Ian, Where Are You?

I guess that I never really considered the idea that I wouldn't have a baby by today. When you go to that first doctor's appointment after finding out you're pregnant, you tend to focus on one day for the next several months...the baby's DUE DATE! I know that it's just a date based on a calender calculation, but still, lots of women have their babies by this date. I think that I have to remember that many women also go past their due date (especially first-time moms). Over the last few years, most of the people I've known have either naturally gone into labor early, had a scheduled C-section before their due date to avoid going into labor, or have been induced early. I honestly don't know many who have gone past their due dates....I guess, statistically, somebody has to...and apparently it's me! Oh well, I know that everything will happen in God's timing, so I'm trying to be patient. He could still arrive anytime, but if not by next Wednesday, I'll be going into the hospital for a little "encouragement" via medication...

Here is a 40-week picture!

On another note, HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY to my close friend, Brittan!! It has been fun knowing that Ian could share a birthday with her, but it looks like they will get to keep their "own" special days. She is off enjoying the "wine country" in California!

Speaking of wine...it shouldn't be too long before I can have a glass...or, even better, a margarita! Yum!
