trying to gain a little perspective

My due date is one week from today. When i went in for my appointment I asked my OB how over that date she would let me go before induction and she said one week.
So, it got me thinking, I can be impatient and complain or I can embrace it. After today, I am down to 13 days, no matter what. Even if LO is doesn't come out on time, I know that in 13 days he will be here.
13 days, thats it. I have been on vacations longer than that. I can do this. I will be patient and I will embrace the next 1-2 weeks.

Re: trying to gain a little perspective
Good idea to think about the date when you will be induced. It is next Tuesday for me.
Today is my DD...and where is baby? Not dropping...! I went out shopping (er, nesting) all evening and walked around a half dozen stores. Trying not to be restless, but I feel like "I did my part waiting for 40 weeks, so where is my little bundle?"
Yeah, this is the first of 3 pregnancies where I have kind of just sat back and figured, no biggie, he will come eventually, and things seem to be going by faster. Don't get me wrong, I would love to deliver tonight, but I have been continuing to make plans right up until my due date, so there are at least things for me to look foward to in the case that baby comes late (which he probably will!). I've also done my best this time around to ignore most of what my docs say regarding how soon I will go. They have been saying, "any minute now" for 2 weeks and I had to remind them that they said that for a good 4 weeks or so with my first 2 who both delivered late.
Give your house one more good clean, stock up on food and rent some good chick flicks for the weekend. Will probably be your last weekend to relax and successfully get that much done:)
