So today is the official due date of our baby boy, but sadly he has not come yet. :-( We've been so ready the last few days that it was kind of hard to hear that Christina hasn't really progressed at all. She still hasn't dilated and the baby hasn't dropped enough yet. Plus, she hasn't had very many contractions, especially painful or consistent ones. She is though about 80-85% effaced, so that is positive, but it may not be enough since everything else is so tight. So, the plan right now is to have a non-stress test for the baby on Thursday morning. Then on Monday Christina will be checked to see if her cervix is ready enough to be induced, and if it is not then she'll be put on a drip that night and then if all goes well she'll be induced next Tuesday. So, if all else fails naturally then we'll have our little boy next Tuesday, July 15th. We'd love to be induced this weekend, but the hospitals will not let first time mothers be induced any earlier than a week after their due date. Hopefully he'll just come on his own this weekend! We'll keep you updated! :-)
