Dear Baby Colin,
It appears that your brother has influenced you already because you are officially LATE. I, your mother, am never late to ANYTHING!! I am chronically at least 5 minutes early and I like it that way. You were supposed to come on Sunday - its now Tuesday. I understand in the grand scheme of things this is not that late but to a mom who is carrying a lot of weight on a little frame and chasing a toddler and who has a grandmother on stand-by.......every hour counts! Please baby Colin for the sake of all of us who are just dying to meet you and cuddle you and hold you and shower you with love....come out!!!
xoxo
Your tired Mom

6 days overdue.......
Oh Conor
Friday we had a doctor's appointment to access this situation. I had my membranes swept (seperating my uterus from the membranes that hold everything in place). It was not the most pleasant experience I have ever had but we did learn that I was 1.5cm dilated (not much seeing I have to get to 10). We also did a non-stress test and learned that you were responding to uterus movements well (I didn't feel most of the movements but that's ok). Later that day I had a few BH contractions but nothing regular.
Saturday and Sunday my mucus plug started falling out and I'm pretty sure by Sunday morning it was 100% gone. But - still no contractions. I'm starting to feel like you might never want to come out.
We have an ultrasound tomorrow (when I will officially be 41 weeks) to review your safety (make sure you have enough fluid around you and that your placenta is still working well and attached). Then on Friday (41 weeks and 3 days) they said they would schedule an induction for the following week (so sooner than the 19th which would be 41 weeks and 6 days). Though I need to talk to them and see if they would consider doing it Friday for a variety of reasons).
I would really rather not have to 'kick' you out so let's get this show on the road! :)

40 weeks and 2 days.......OVERDUE
Dear Conor,
While I am certain it is very much cozier and warm in my stomach than out here in the world (especially with the possibility of snow tonight and tomorrow), I would greatly appreciate you making your arrival in the next day or so. We are struggling to sleep at night because if we lay down we get heartburn, if we lay on our left side then our hip hurts, if we lay on our back then our back hurts, and laying on the right seems to let us sleep for about 40 minutes at a time. You are going to have one very tired Mom (and you are going to be one very tired baby) if the two of us don't get some sleep! We tried napping yesterday afternoon but it must have been at your playtime because you were moving around so much that I couldn't really sleep but it did help to rest a little bit.
Your Grandma Mary said that she was coming up today to visit so perhaps we will get out and about and that will encourage you to do some shifting and moving on out :)
Even if you don't come today - I still love you (but Santa is watching - and he only brings gifts to good little boys!)!

PS. The duvet for your big bed came yesterday and a few other things were purchased so I will likely to a final nursery update later today or tomorrow!
