Overdue

Tuesday morning, still no baby.

I am sort of confused by the fact that the McNugget has not appeared yet. I am always on time and often early in everything I do. Working in news I am great with deadlines; I don't miss them. I have never even so much as turned in a library book after it was due. So, I assumed the McNugget would be just like me and we'd be napping together right about now.

Since she's not, I am trying to reassess the process. I did make some progress yesterday so I'm trying to refashion the term "due date" for myself. Perhaps I should look at it as a date that indicates when early labor is due to start, since it did, and work from there.

I think I felt some contractions last night, so I thought for sure I would wake up in the middle of the night or early morning in active labor but no such luck. I really don't want to rush the McNugget out but since I feel so ready for the process to begin, I am getting a little impatient. Maybe it will happen today.
