Well, it's official Wyatt is late! I am totally going crazy. Its nuts I thought that I would be relieved to not have to wake up every morning and go to work but this is so not the case. I have been trying everything to coax him to come but it seems he is standing firm so I just have to be ok with it all.
Yesterday, I decided to go walking around as much as I could. I took Sugar for a walk around the block and then went to the mall and walked all around there. Then after dinner Stan and I went to Target and Linens n' things for a little extra bit of exercise. At Target I started feeling some pains and pressure but it was nothing. So today I am planning on doing a lot of chores around the house to get us ready for Christmas and then I may go over to the mall and see a movie. I think I have been allowing myself to get frustrated by just sitting around and waiting wondering when everything is going to happen. I think a lot of it is that I have been waiting so long already and now we are here standing on the edge of having him here in our arms and there is this delay. I just can't wait to see him and feel him.
I have been torturing myself during the days by watching A Baby Story and Bringing Home Baby. I am watching so I can feel really confident that I will know what is happening throughout the process but damn it is driving me mad. I keep imagining what it will be like when I am going through all that pain and about to see Wyatt. Or that first night when we will be taking the little man home and then never sleeping again.
I had an appointment on Wednesday where I was a little over 3 cm. and now at 60% efface (I have to be grateful to him for trying to give me a fast and painless labor.) At that time we discussed what would happen if he doesn't get all of this stuff started on his own. Basically I will be exactly 42 weeks on Christmas Day and given his growth and my growth they would like to induce labor at the end of next week if they are all clear at the hospital. They said since I have a "favorable cervix" that there should be no problem getting the labor going and that they don't even really foresee us needing an induction.

Extra Spicy Chili time! Do it for me just as an experiment. It worked for mom and me.
Thanks for the update. Everyone keeps asking me if you have had him yet and I keep saying no, not yet. Or at least that I haven't heard that he was born yet... :) Good luck!
I think it is really funny that about an hour after I posted that comment last night, your mom called to tell me he'd been born :) Congrats again~
