overdue

When you're overdue, you start looking for every sign that you might be *just about* to go into labor.

Here's some things that haven't meant I was about to go into labor:

• getting the best night of sleep of my pregnancy
• getting the worst night of sleep of my pregnancy
• getting nauseous, faint and dizzy for hours
• contractions
• having days where I felt great and perfectly fine
• sudden very puffy feet
• sudden unswollen feet
• having fewer bladder management skills
• a sudden acne breakout
• having a perfectly clean house
• having a perfectly messy house

We were pretty convinced this baby was coming early. We also had a lot of big events going on a couple weeks ago, and somehow convinced her to stay put until we got through those.
Now we've been trying to convince her to come out (so I can avoid another c-section), and it doesn't seem to be going as well.

We've been pretty patient.
And waiting and watching.
And waiting and watching.
And waiting.

Our doctor's been pretty patient. And very amiable to our hopes and requests.
But something's gotta give soon. They can't let me do this forever. If I don't go into labor on my own, I'll either be getting a c-section tomorrow or on the weekend.

... but on the other hand, I just lost my wallet. That's gotta mean something big will happen any minute now, right?!

(can you check into the hospital without any forms of ID?)
