Which means that I'm around 39 weeks...which also means...not much else! Since the midwife doesn't do manual checks to see if your dilated or effaced at this point, since they have a "less intervention is better" motto, we really won't know when she'll come until she comes! Although, I've had some people comment on how I've dropped over the last days/week - which for all I know is a merely encouragement - which of course, I don't mind at all because positive is always better - especially now when I'm at my heaviest and I'm just so anxious to see who's eyes my baby has! All I really know at this point is that I'm really looking forward to meeting her and seeing her sweet sugar pie angel face and the faster I realize that she's on her time, the easier it will be for me to be patient! :)
Non-Glamorous Reality:
Carpal tunnel and swollen ankles, feet and hands, oh yeah, and where did my chin go? Sleeping is not coming very easily either - I think its my congestion paired with heartburn paired with round ligament, hip, & pelvic pain - man - you just don't think it will happen to you, but boy does it! I feel blessed though, that things haven't been rough this whole time, and its just the end here that's been harder.
Luckily, the prize is near and the love that everyone has shown me throughout my whole 31 years is the fuel that will get me there!!
