I've reached 40 weeks!

Today I reached 40 weeks pregnant! If I was to continue on in the pregnancy (my doctor is extremely thorough) I had to pass the tests that I mentioned in the post below. I was admitted into a hospital room this morning for one part of the test then wheeled (yes I said wheeled ~ apparently they like to give pregnant woman a free ride around the hospital) to an ultrasound room. Her fetal heart rate was great! She appeared to have enormous chubby cheeks. But, my Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) was low. I think I'm leaking? So, the verdict is.... they sent me home to eat lunch and get my things because I have to be induced TODAY! They said I should have one leg up (not literally ~yet anyways) because my body is already in pre-labor. I'm going back to the hospital around 4:00 PM. I'm still wondering if she will be a 2008 or 2009 baby? We are bringing our laptop to the hospital so we will keep everyone updated!

Maybe she'll be the first baby of 2009! I'll still cross my fingers for a 2008 tax deduction anyway!
