38 weeks...

Well, here we are at 38 weeks and two days! At my doctor appt today I measured one cm more than last week (she is growing!) and gained two more pounds! (The doctor assured me its mostly water...LOL). She attempted to see if I was dilated...however the baby's head was in the way and it was...quite uncomfortable as she tried to get to it, so she stopped. She said its softening but she could not quite get there to check dilation. Next Wednesday they will check again. Good news- her head is fully engaged (in my pelvis) so she is getting ready!

Here is a picture we took yesterday...

Justin and I are ready for her to come. Though I feel good (I'm really not too uncomfortable), I am just ready for her to be here. Send us lots of "labor dust"!

You look great! You are just glowing! You know what they say induces labor!! ;)

I just found out we are having a baby girl as well!!

You will do just great with labor. Just don't stress about sticking with any plans - try to open and flexible. :)

If she runs overtime, I have an exercise (birthing) ball you can use. But there is a better way to induce. wink wink *labor dust*
