What happened to my hope of going early?

Well so much for all the text book theories of the signs that labor is coming near. I think I have had everyone one of them minus the contractions that says you should deliver within the next two weeks, and that was over two weeks ago! So, now I am just sitting around until the baby decides that she wants to come out. My midwife said that there are no openings at the hospital until next Thursday to be induced! (That means you win Christen if I don't go into labor before I am induced. I have my bets on your date now!) With my due date being today, that is 1 week past my due date. Hopefully I will just go into labor before then, but I am not counting on it. I am just planning on being around until next week. So, if you have any suggestions of things to keep me busy let me know. I have already decided that I will go to the gym everyday because that will keep me active and feeling good, especially since I won't be able to right after the baby is born anyway. Please give me some ideas to keep me from going insane this next week.

Hang in there. It's awful being so pregnant. Hopefully she will come soon. Keep us posted. Work lots, that will keep you occupied and working so much is what put me into labor early. Besides that do lots with your friends, because you won't be able to go out with them for a very LONG time!! :0)

Well, if I haven't gone into labor by Thursday then my midwife is going to induce me. That will be my one week past due mark. I guess she wants me to come in Wednesday night to the hospital to start things going with cervadil, but we will see. I will learn more on Tuesday when I go back for another visit. Do you work any of that time?
