3 days past due...

Baby Carter is very content where he is at right now. He just isn't wanting to make his appearance in the world just yet. He isn't even showing signs of wanting to make is appearance. Our little baby count down on our blog now says how many days we have to go but actually that means how many days we are past our due date. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday morning and were hoping for some great news. All we learned was that Carter isn't getting ready to come out. My doctor doesn't really wanting me going much longer though. I guess there are just more risks involved if we keep waiting. We wanted to hear that we could just induce this week and get things going but that is a little more complicated than I thought. Because Carter hasn't dropped and I haven't made in progress either, inducing probably won't work. It could but there is a very high percentage that it wouldn't. So then we just go through hours of hard labor and end up in a c-section anyway. We decided to go ahead and schedule a c-section for Sunday morning at 7:30 with the hopes and prayers that he will come on his own this week. It was really hard for me to make this decision because I have always wanted to deliver a baby the old fashioned way and experience that. However, I just need to trust God and my doctor that we are making the right decision. Maybe God has other plans for Carter and he will decide to come naturally in the next few days. This has been a long waiting game! 5 1/2 weeks ago we thought we were being induced within two weeks. It's now 3 1/2 weeks later and still no baby. I am still on bed rest but I will be completely honest and say that I have not been doing it very well lately. Bed rest is really hard but I am trying to keep resting throughout the day. I sure can tell when I don't. My hands and feet swell up so big! We can't wait to meet our little man on Sunday!
