I should have known that my son would take his time to arrive on the scene. It's ok though I'm only two days past my due date so far, so that's not too bad. I have to go and see the doctor in a couple of days to see how dudley is doing, but I hope he comes in the next couple of days. There is only one lady checked into the maternity clinic right now so if we were to have the baby, we'd pretty much have the place to ourselves...that'd be nice.
So now I feel completely in limbo. I went and bought some labour-inducing massage oil today....but no results yet. We will be doing everything to avoid any kind of artificial induction.
I finished the Bella baby pants and am really happy with the result. I think they might be a little too warm though - they are thick. I added some embroidered felt patches on the knee using a couple of Jenny Hart's awesome Sublime Stitching embroidery patterns. I also decided to forgo the knitted i-cord drawstring for a cute shoelace and also went with seed stitch leg cuffs so you can adjust the length of the pants. Definitely recommend the pattern - cute baby pants that knit up quickly.
We also got in some baby practice. Our friend Kyoko came to visit with her 10-month old baby, So-kun. We can only hope that Dudley will be just as cute with an equally sweet disposition. He's gorgeous and will make you want a baby.....if you don't already have one.
love those pants!

Don't worry! My son who was born this past monday (8th) was late as well. They actually were schedualing me an induction for the 9th because I hadn't dialated. Then all of a sudden sunday night I was in labor. Hopefully you will have had a better experience then I had. I was sent home 3 times! Then, in the wee hours monday morning I was in agony and had no idea that I was in final phase of labor. By the time I made it to the hospital it was 3:04am and I had my son at 3:34am. So if your body is pushing, then you know you are ready to go. Do not wait! I was 8 cm. It took me 10 mins to push and I had NO DRUGS. Which is how I wanted it but man when you are in pain, all you can think of is ways to stop it.
Anyway, good luck to you! I'm sure he will be beautiful. My Kyo was 7lbs 9oz and 22 inches long.
Just a little more paitence and you will meat the same high I did.

ugh i hope that you don't have to do labor with inducing drugs. it's a lot more fast and painful. i was so glad to have my epidural :) you're so very close. just keep taking walks and do some housework and gardening, and anything else you can think of to bring it on!

My son was 7 days late. I was starting to think he was going to go to college in my belly. I was pleading with him to just pop out! He finally did, and he actually is quilt happy on the outside. He's a 2 yr old now. I'm sure he thinks is so funny of a thought that he used to live in my belly. When I show him my pregnant pix, he cracks up laughing and runs away.
