Well, this sucks. I met with my midwife yesterday and with the massive amounts of fluid I have and the fact that my baby can just swim around and not really engage her head down to actually tell my body to start labor and the fact that my sister is getting married in 8 days is leading to all kinds of complications. I was supposed to go in and see my actual OB today to talk about our options, then of course this morning I get the call that she is out sick and I can see someone else. Well I signed up for the appointment but the someone else doesn't really know my situation and probably isn't as likely to let me keep trying to wait and have a vaginal birth with the fluids. Not to mention they are pretty concerned about me traveling so soon with a new born after I give birth for my sisters wedding and all this other drama. I have held it together pretty well but dang, can't I just have a body that does this birth thing the normal way! It is a pretty frustrating time not to mention a bit concerning. I do know that currently baby girl and I are both still in great health, she just gets to swim around in her own little ocean all day as my midwife put it. My fundal height (not the most accurate measure but supposed to roughly equate to how far along in your pregnancy you are) is now at 50, I love being the size of a 50 week pregnant woman instead of just a 40 week pregnant woman. Grrrr! Thanks for listening to the rant.

oh yikes! so sorry about all of it :(
Hang in there love.... you're doing great! Everything will work out the way it is meant to work out. As long as you're both happy and healthy, just ride it out a bit longer and see if your body will do the "natural" thing :) Maybe you're just not meant to have babies on time... maybe they like the home you've created so much they're just not ready to leave when you want them to... I'm sure it'll be the same way when they're 18 :)
Let me know if there is anything Tyler and I can do to help once we arrive on Friday morning! We love you guys!
