After 40 weeks...

As many of you have likely guessed because of our communications blackout and the fact that the baby countdown at the top of this blog is still counting down, Baby Smitty has decided not to make an appearance as of yet. We are only 4 days late at this point, however, the frustrating part is that we were told that we were going to be induced last week and now we are still hanging out! The plan from here is that we have a doctor's appointment today at 315pm at which we will see if there has been any progress. If there is still no progress, we go to Norwalk Hospital tomorrow for this gel stuff (which is rumored to really be ineffective, but that is the next step) and then check on Friday to see if we can induce. If we can induce Friday, then we will, but if not, it will be next week.

We very much appreciate all of your thoughts and messages--as you can imagine, being the control freak that I am, this has been a challenging time, but I guess it gets us used to not having control:-) We will send out a text message to all once the little guy comes and then post something here shortly after.

In the meantime, we are living as normal--see pics...we went out on the boat yesterday after going to the Memorial Day parade in downtown Fairfield. I figured that if he was going to come, giving him a crowded parade and an isolated boat ride might trigger him to make an appearance:-) It was a gorgeous day and we were happy to take advantage of it...check out the pic of the baby's first ride on the boat and me driving at 40 weeks and 3 days preggo!
