Due dates come and go, but pregnancy is forever

Oh wait, it's not. But sometimes- like right now- it feels a little like it is forever. My body is not doing the things it normally does leading up to labor/delivery so I'm a little worried. I don't want to be induced. I feel fine and the baby is fine so I have no problem waiting. It's just modern medicine that doesn't like it when you go over. We'll just keep taking it one overdue day at a time and be patient!
Enough of that, so I'm in a new neighborhood with people who have never seen me pregnant before and they always worry because I'm small. I'm sure they think I'm just saying it to be modest but really this is my biggest pregnancy. But you don't have to take my word for it . . . (Anyone know what that comes from?)
Here are my pictures from my past 3 pregnancies right before we walked out the door to the hospital. I don't have one of those yet from this pregnancy- as you are well aware- so you will have to do with a picture from today- 3 days overdue.
Pregnancy 1-Mara
Pregnancy 2 Asher

Pregnancy 3 Eden
Pregnancy 4 (Many thanks to my photographer- Asher- who only cut off my head a tad!)
What do you think?

I love the title of this post. It made me laugh. I'm always waiting for the phone call (good thing I finally gave you our new number!) I wouldn't want to be induced either. I dreamt last night I had a baby girl...but then I forgot her in her bassinet for like five hours and couldn't remember her name! So I guess that's a sign that it's good I'm not having another right now!

Good work Jim! Apparently most people figured I would go over b/c a lot of people guessed that but I just keep going and passing those guesses too. Friday the 13th? Don't worry Ari- you can smile in between contractions. That 30 seconds of respite!

Yep, you are still pretty small. Especially compared to some of us. :) Good luck!

I am with the others who were totally clueless about your pregnancy. The fact that you made it until three days overdue before complaining about pregnancy on your blog is very comendable. I don't think I made it a month in before I was whining about it!!! I hope you've had the baby by now and that you'll post pictures soon. Cute hair, bytheway!
