I had an appointment today with my midwife. Everything is looking pretty good. It appears that he has dropped just a little bit and I am still dilated to a one and now 50% effaced. I talked to her about my concerns of having a big baby today. Both my sisters have had big babies (over 9 pounds) and even though Tyler was only 7 and change, it is still a concern that I have. So we talked about how long she would let me go before she would induce me, and we have planned for September 23rd to be induced if I haven't had the baby before that. I feel really good about that date and I am happy and relieved that I talked to her about that today. I don't want or expect that she would induce me before my due date -- honestly it bothers me when women are induced before their due date for selfish reasons, health reasons are different. So I now have a for sure end date in site. I do hope that I go into labor on my own this time before that date, but have no problems with being induced.
Tomorrow Tony's grandpa is getting married in the temple to his new bride. He is like 82 and she is 65 and never been married. They are getting sealed in the SLC temple and Elder Hale is going to marry them. I am really excited to be in the same room as one of the apostles and to hear his council to this older couple. It will be way fun and I am really exited that we get to go. My mom is going to watch Tyler while we are at the temple (THANKS MOM) and then we are going to go and check into our hotel. Tony and I are going to stay a couple nights at one of the Hampton Inn's for a little down time before this baby comes. We are going to take Tyler with us at first to go swimming and then we are going to leave him with Tony's mom at the reception that night (THANKS MARGIE). Then she will have Tyler for the next couple nights and we will get him on Sunday. We don't really have plans so it will be nice to just do whatever we want and have it just be Tony and me. I can't wait, what a fun weekend we have a head of our selves.

That does sound nice to have a few days to yourselves. Lucky you!! You are very lucky to have mothers who are willing to do that.
