38 weeks and counting

And of course, no changes from 2 weeks ago. Still 1cm & 50% or maybe a bit more effaced.

My doctor told me at my last appointment that I couldn't give birth this week because she is at Disney World with her kids until Friday.

The way my contractions have been going, birth won't be happening any time soon. I am so frustrated with my body. I start timing contractions because they are getting more intense & take longer to get through. Once I time a few, the contractions get further apart or stop altogether.

I am so ready to be holding our little one. I am scared that the longer I go, the more she will weigh. When I had the extra u/s done at 27 weeks, they guesstimated that she was already about 12-14 ounces more than what the average baby is about that point. I love Michael, but I really hope he is wrong about a 10lb baby!

Hang in there, girl! The end is near.

And yeah, I don't think I'd want a 10 pound baby either. 8 1/2 pounds was big enough!

She's almost here! Hang in there!

You can do it, whatever the size! Just helped Tammy deliver her baby on my birthday, two weeks late. I know you won't go that far. We are praying for you.
