Happy Due Date Clarence!

So today, Saint Patrick's day, is my due date and still no sign of any action.  So despite my best efforts and hopes I won't be having a little leprechaun today..although there IS still time but signs of labor are no where in sight so I am pretty positive this baby won't be born today.  Oh well! 

If I make it to tomorrow I will go see Dr. Hajj for another check-up and a non-stress test to make sure the baby is still happy and healthy.  If I make it past the weekend with still no action, I will see him again on Monday.  Dr. Hajj says that the baby will be here before March 25th so there is an end in sight.  As of Tuesday I still had no progress and the baby was still high.  I think if I make it another week an induction or c-section may be in my future. I really want to go into labor naturally though so I am still keeping my fingers crossed that it will still happen.

Until the little one decides to come out and meet us I will be trying to keep busy so this waiting game doesn't seem to go by so slow.  We are so anxious to meet this little guy or girl!  I am shocked about how calm I am...I really thought I would be a worked up stressed out mess by now.  I think not knowing the sex of the baby is really helping me take my mind off of what is to come as I am just so excited to find out!  Until the big day comes I am enjoying the time Tommy and I have together in the evenings and getting some things done around the house-like finish my thank you notes-that will be hard for me to do in the first few weeks of the baby's life.  

So from Clarence, Tommy and myself to you:  Happy Saint Patrick's Day!! AND a Happy Due Date-40 weeks to Clarence...soon you will be in our arms and we cannot wait!

Here is the sleeper I packed (secretly hoping we would have a little leprechaun!).  Clarence will still be Mommy's Lucky Charm so it will be going back in the bag for whenever he/she decides to arrive! 

See you soon Baby Smith!
