40 weeks plus, oops!

I forgot I sort of had two due dates! I had an estimated due date and an ultrasound due date. According to my doctor, both dates were in a sense estimates and only a few days apart. Jonathan and I went with the US date without thinking much of it.

Having said that...we are past our original due date and the doctor feels it is time to get the ball rolling. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and a non-stress test. Both baby and mommy are healthy at this point, but our doctor does not want the baby to go any longer. No progress has been made, so we go to the hospital today for me to have receive medicine and tests. I will then be induced Thursday morning for baby Whit to make his debut!

Jonathan and I were so excited when we heard the news! Of course I think we were a bit surprised and nervous as well. Jonathan will spend the night in the hospital with me tonight. We are blessed that he has time off from work for the next several weeks!

My momma is coming down today to help with the baby, take care of her baby (me), and household duties. Martin and Ana are in New Hope, so they are nearby to help out as well. Maybe I should take advantage of this situation!!! Just kidding.

Stay tuned!!!
