Stage Fright? - 41 Weeks, 2 Days

So Baby Bear, you're really more comfortable inside your mama's belly? You still kick and play a lot, it must be so much fun in there. Your mama doesn't think so. She feels a little pain every day. Nothing big, just a little. But she wants to see your face. Me too. Grandma and Great-Grandma too. We're all waiting.

Today we will visit the doctor. She'll check mama and decide if it is time to induce the labor. That's a big scary thing for you. You're hanging out inside mama's belly, kicking and double punching, hiccuping, having fun...then suddenly things start happening for you. We don't really want to do this, but if you are not ready to come out by yourself, this will help.

So who knows. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. We don't know yet. But we do know we want to see you and hug you and take you for walks and all the fun things families do.

First thing's first though. It's time for you to make your debut.
