4 days and counting!

"Any day now. Any day now." Sigh. It seems likes we've been waiting forever! We had our 39 week appointment on the 1st and sadly, we had not made any progress from last week in terms of dilation. We also had an ultrasound to make sure that everything was looking good and to estimate his weight, which is always fun and reassuring. 4 chambers of his little heart? Check. Bladder? Check. Boy parts? Check and Check!!! Their weight estimate was 7lbs, 10 ounces! Big little boy!

Our next appointment is this Tuesday the 8th, one day before his official due date. We are trusting in the Lord's perfect timing and have been praying for that for as long as we can remember, but it is getting hard to be patient! My prayer for our next appointment is for our doctor to tell us that everything is moving along perfectly and there is no reason to schedule an induction or any reason to even consider having a c-section. We'll also have a test for my amniotic fluid and a non-stress test for the baby that day, so it will be an appointment full of firsts.

My mom is coming on Monday afternoon and am looking forward to that. We'll probably end up spending a lot of time on the couch since there is not much I can do now...maybe we'll go shopping a bit or head to the park a few times with the pups.

Hmm...what else. Little guy has been kicking a lot today and while we went for a walk this afternoon, I was having what felt like cramping, but I wasn't sure if meant anything or not. Doing okay now. I had the same feelings last week and thought they meant that things were moving along but noooooo...must be patient!
