Week 41...

I went to the doctor today.  I am 41 weeks this week and still pregnant.  The doctor estimates that the baby weighs at least 7 and a half pounds.  We will see how accurate this is in a few days.  Since they will do a mandatory inducing at 42 weeks (next week) I'm going to go ahead and be induced this Saturday, the 26th, so that I can have my doctor deliver the baby, instead of another Dr in the practice.  If the baby doesn't come before Friday, we will check into Morton Plant, in Clearwater, this Friday evening.  They will begin the inducing around 4 am Saturday in the hopes of our little one arriving later that day.  The 26th is a good day in the Douglass family as mine (May) and my mom's (October) both fall on that day.  I asked if I could have the epidural starting now, but I guess they don't do that.  :)  All prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated!!  Can't wait to share the good news!!!
