39 Weeks & 5 Days

So, I suppose I should do a little pregnancy update.  I know I have lots that needs updated, but I figured this is as good a point as any.  The day after tomorrow is my due date, a place I've never been.  It'll be weird to make it that far.  I've been stuck at a two for a few weeks now, all very common.  Wasn't horribly expected this time around but I have said from the get go that this baby would try and stay in the longest!  Baby is still up really high and I expect things to go quickly if baby decides to drop.  If not, we're looking at being induced next week.  He'll give me my choice on Monday of Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  I actually woke up this morning around 4 with consistent contractions for about an hour followed by two hours of slowing down and eventually stopping.  This was the same pattern with Avery for a few days so I knew to hang around for a bit and see what happened.  I don't want to be sitting at the hospital with slowing and then stopping contractions!  I'd rather wait it out at home for awhile.  Now, if my water breaks, I'll be running to the hospital!  Avery came 2.5 hrs after my water broke!  I can tell baby has dropped a bit from yesterday even, so we'll see.  I'm feeling really good pregnancy wise and am every day getting better from my cold.  Not 100% yet, so I'm really in no rush.  I want this baby to be nice and cooked and for us all to be feeling well!  I'm enjoying my time with G and A, taking in the last few days with just them.  It will all very soon change.  I feel really content in God's timing of this baby's arrival.  I am very, very excited to meet this baby, so I've had to work on my patience with that.  I am longing for that moment when the Dr. says, "It's a _____!"  My Dr. is on call all weekend, so as long as I don't go into labor in the dark of night, he'll be delivering me, which is worth waiting for!  Baby is bebopping around as I type a wonderful reminder that all of this is worth it, even if it comes with a 40.5 week price tag :)
