Oh Baby, Where Art Thou?

Well, it's now 39 weeks and I am still waiting to have this baby! For the past few days, I've begun to swell even more and protein is now positive in my urine. My doctor wants to induce labor on Thursday. This would entail me having a procedure done to help the "softening process" along. After talking to several friends and family members and finding out how painful that would be, I've elected not to proceed. So, I continue to wait......very uncomfortably as I rest in bed (doctors orders) and keep an eye on my swelling, and watch out for pre-eclampsia symptoms.
