40 weeks

My due date was 2 days ago and we still have no baby. I had a check-up yesterday, I haven't dilated more since last week. Though it seems like the baby has dropped, the doctor said she was still way up there. I'm going back to see him next Monday, he's going to insert some type of strip that dissolves and ripens my cervix to prepare it for labor. It will stay there overnight, then Tuesday morning (November 6) we'll go to the hospital and I'll get induced. It makes me laugh when I think back that my original due date was October 8TH. So that's the plan, unless the little lady decides to show up this week. I don't think she will though, I haven't felt any contractions, Braxton Hicks or any pain whatsoever. This isn't how I imagined her arrival but I guess it maybe better this way, at least I can prepare for it mentally. Whatever happens within a week we WILL BE parents.
