Nope... Still no baby!

So, Zach has a deadline. 7:30 pm tomorrow night. All summer long I have seen NBC's countdown to the summer Olympics and I have always thought that Zach would be here by then. The opening ceremonies start at 7:30 Friday night and if Zach knows what's good for him, he'll be here. Doesn't he know how to obey his Mommy???

So onto the details... Zach is apparently following his big brother's lead and is way too happy inside his Mommy's belly. We went to the doctor yesterday and there is still not much happening. We had a stress test to check the baby's heartbeat and an ultrasound to measure the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby and both were good. So I will hopefully be heading to Rex tonight to start on cervadil (spelling?) which will help prepare my cervix and Friday morning they will start a pitocin drip. The hospital is supposed to call us in between 8:00 and 9:00. There is a chance that I might get "bumped" toinght if there aren't any beds available. Hopefully that won't happen and Zach will arrive by Friday night! We'll keep you updated!

Man, I feel for you guys. It's exciting, but I know you wish Zach would get a move on! We're thinking of you and praying for a safe and uneventful delivery. Can't wait to meet him!
