2 days until due day

I cannot believe that 40 weeks of pregnancy has gone by so fast. Although looking back upon the experience, while being pregnant it has seemed like an eternity, it is hard to believe that 9 months has already passed. Many times were hard, but most of the experience was a good one. Needless to say though, i will be so glad when I am not preggo anymore! 40 weeks at a time is plenty! The last 4 weeks have been for sure the hardest. When you are anticipating the arrival of something so great time seems to pass so slowly. Being on pins and needles since 36 weeks has been a feat in itself. I get so anxious about things, and thinking everyday for 28 days that your daughter could be born at any moment has been extremely hard. Pray has been my stronghold, and knowing that God does have a time and a way for her to get here is comforting but hard to accept when I selfishly want her to be here NOW! @ more days until the due date, hopefully she will be here on time!

39 weeks

Well, 39 weeks today and she still hasn't decided to make her appearance! I know that God has a plan for her arrival, and I know i will find out what it is eventually! I feel pretty good today, but thats today! My comfort level is not high, but it is well worth it for her sake:)
Adley, daddy and i are ready for you whenever you want to come!

More than ready.........

So for almost 2 weeks now i have thought Adley was coming any day. Some labor signs are deceiving. Andrew and i are both MORE THAN READY for her to get here. hopefully she will come some time very very soon! Andrew's dad said he thinks she will come sometime between the 18th and 21st, so i hope Steve is right! If she doesnt come before this thursday then i will go in for my doctors appointment. They told me last week that we could talk about induction at the next visit if she still hasnt arrived, so i guess we will be doing so! I am just hoping labor and delivery goes well and that we have a completely healthy baby girl! God is good, so no matter what im sure everything will be ok!

Doctor's Visit

So, today I am 37 weeks preggers. Adley is officially considered "full term", which is amazing! I was so excited after leaving the doctor today because of such an awesome report:

--Adley has dropped
--80% effaced
--2 centimeters dilated
--Having some (irregular) contractions
--Healthiest person he'd see all day (according to the doc)

Hopefully she will come within the next few days or so.....but who knows!

Nesting????

So, i had always thought that "nesting" during pregnancy was and old wives tale. Throughout the entire past 8+ months i have been so unmotivated to do any type of housework what so ever. As i was l laying awake in bed last night (like i do every night) i couldnt help but to make a mental list of the things i needed to get done a.s.a.p--for exapmle: get our hospital bags packed, clean out the bathroom closet, get adley's room completely done, get a head on the laundry and get rid of old clothes and shoes i didnt need. What???? I have never been this motivated to clean and organize in my entire life. I got all of the above done today, and I'm still not even tired. From what i have read....(you can trust these kind of things or not) you have a burst of energy for about 48hrs and feel like there are a hundred things you need to do. This is a sign you are close to labor (or so they say). So, we will see i guess. If i end up going into labor within the next few days, or even week I will believe the tales about nesting. Who knows, it may have been an urge for spring cleaning, but I'd like to think of it as nesting. Hopefully the "facts" are true and Adley will be here very soon!

3 weeks & 4 days left......or is there????

So, Andrew and I got to go to the doctor on thursday 4/1. The report was amazing! Sally, the offices midwife, told me she didn't think i would go over or last until my due date! This was music to my ears because i am so uncomfortable, and i have to admit i have been complaining for the last few weeks about it. Andrew i'm sure is ready for her to come too, simply because he won't have to hear me whining anymore! Sally said i was 60% effaced (which means my cervix is over halfway thinned out) and that Adley was at a pelvic station of -1 (pelvic station (-3 to +3) is how far down the baby's head is....0 being ready for birth and +3 means the head is crowning) so.....hopefully by the next appointment on 4/8 we will be even farther progressed and possibly hear that we are even closer to seeing Adley!I definitely have noticed that she has dropped, and am starting to feel a little bit of contractions every once and a while. I can't wait until the day she gets here! It has been much anticipated. I just pray everything goes well and we have a good labor experience. I know God has his hand on us throughout all of this, so i am confident and secure.
