Still waiting. . .

We're now officially 2 days past Lucy's due date and are mad with anticipation. We know that 2 days doesn't seem like that long, but given that we've been ready for her to come at any time for over 2 weeks, it seems like torture! It's SOOOO hard to figure out what to do with ourselves as we wait. As Nathan said the other day, "You know that any minute, something is going to happen that will change your life forever. In the meantime, though, you are supposed to just try to act normally and focus on what's for dinner." Sheri's favorite way to describe this time is, "It's like before you go on a big trip, you do all your laundry, tie up loose ends, run errands, and clean your house. The problem is that you don't know when you are actually going to leave on this trip." We're on our 3rd or 4th round of cleaning and laundry for this trip!

The plan is that if Lucy's not here by Friday the 23rd (41 weeks), we go in for some tests to make sure she's doing okay. If she is, they'll send us home to wait some more. If there are any concerns, they'll induce that day. If they don't induce that day, they'll repeat the procedure at 41.5 weeks. As a last resort, if there's STILL no Lucy by Friday the 30th (42 weeks), they'll induce that day. Of course, we are hoping that any second now Lucy will signal that it's time to leave on this life changing trip. In the meantime, if you have any ideas of how to motivate her to come on out or how to prevent ourselves from going stark raving mad, please share.
