Baby Update

39 weeks + 2 days

Hello all!  With less than a week left until our little one is guesstimated to be born, I bet many of you wouldn't mind a little update on what is going on in our lives... particularly our little boy's life.  Well, he is happy, cozy, healthy, normal sized, head-down and just waiting to make his entrance into this world. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and were very encouraged.  This time we don't have any of the swelling/blood pressure issues to worry about (yay!).  I am 50% effaced, with slight dilation, and the baby's station is -1ish (if you know what that means)  (it's good.)  :)  And as we were saying goodbye to the doctor he said that he's pretty sure the baby will come sometime in this next week.  Hopefully he's right because we are gearing up for it and might be a tad disappointed if our son doesn't arrive by next Friday.  However, Emma was 10 days LATE so you never know.  I'm just happy that everything seems on track and our baby should be here soon!!!  

So this weekend we are doing laundry, cleaning up our house, packing our bags (yes, we hadn't done that yet), and getting all our ducks in a row for our trip to the hospital.  We're also going to be going to a birthday dinner for a fellow staff member tonight (and it happens to be at my favorite restaurant!).  And sometime in the next few days Eric and I are hoping to get away for a little while to have MY birthday date... Pedicures!  Wouldn't that feel nice right about now?  :)  

Okie dokie!  We'll let you know when things get rolling!
