When A Happy Baby Is A Bad Thing

Yesterday in my yoga class there were three women who were 39-weeks. None of them had any signs of progression ... though a baby could come at any time, they werent any closer than they had been in previous weeks.

One of the women, my friend Kim, was told by her doctor that it looked like the baby wasnt interested in joining the real world. On Monday she has an appointment (it will be her 40-week apt) and if the situation is still the same they are scheduling an induction date.

While its great all of these babies are so happy in their current environments, their stays are beginning to become a bit too lengthy. We all want a happy, healthy pregnancy - but we also dont want it to last any longer than is has to :)

I just want to wish all of these ladies good luck in the next week or so ... and hope that Baby Schneider is at least a bit uncomfortable and unhappy and thus will decide not to stay beyond his/her welcome!
