September 1, 2008= No Labor Day

That's right, our due date has come and gone, much as we expected it would given the last three weeks of doctor's visits. Despite threatening to play hooky from today's visit I made an appearance at the OB office in hopes of some happy news. While I can't report any substantial progress with baby I did leave the visit surprisingly upbeat. Not only did I get another ultra sound (to check fluid levels) but the doctor fed me a chocolate chip cookie (to encourage movement during the non-stress test)...which officially makes this the best visit to their office ever! The baby enjoyed the cookie so much that he/she actually moved for close to 15 minutes-which is amazing considering how little room he/she has left. To top off my visit the doctor officially set an induction date- yahoo!!! Should baby S. not make a debut before Saturday afternoon, the hospital will gladly assist us in welcoming him/her into the world. So, the cute part is while I didn't get to have labor on labor day, if all goes according to plan we will make our parents grandparents (again) on Grandparents day (Sunday, Sept.7th). How fun!
