Happy Due Date to Me!

So here we are- Baby Cashew's due date!! I am 40 weeks today. We went to the doctor today and....WOO HOO!! I am dilated between 1-2 cm!! That means my body is starting to get moving! The doctor did a quick ultrasound and she is face up and fluids look great. It was really funny- he was feeling her head and he says he has never felt a baby's head move as much as hers! I have been telling everyone she is ADD! She just LOVES to move around!!

So the plan is- If I have not gone into labor by Friday- I will need to head into labor and delivery to have an NST (non stress test) to make sure the baby is doing ok. At that point we will discuss the plan of action depending on the results (i.e. when to induce). My doctor is guessing Thanksgiving day! (Which is great because he is on call that day! LOL). So we shall see what she decides to do!

I have been having tons and tons of painless but strong contractions all day. Hopefully they will continue and get painful so we can get going. :) Justin and I have been walking like crazy to help things...Saturday we walked at least 4 miles, Sunday over 3, and today Ainsley and I walked to Starbucks to celebrate my due date (over a mile) and then I walked the mall for 3 hours after my appt!

So here are some pics from today...40 weeks!!

I had to take one with my Chico State sweatshirt on since this little one is a product of two Alumni!!
