Wishing and Waiting...

Still here. And waiting. Here I thought our little girl would be early. Ha! I guess our little girl has a mind of her own and has decided to come on her own time and NO ONE’S going to rush her. I hope this isn’t an indication of what her personality is going to be like when she’s born. Although I'm 38 weeks this week, it says alot about my personality- I tend to be impatient AND stubborn. Not a good combination- just ask Keith. He knows all about it. ;-)
We went to our appointment earlier today. My belly has dropped a bit, but I'm not dialated at all. I thought for sure I would be, given the pelvic pressure I've been feeling lately. It’s definitely starting to feel like the end is near. My stomach is so heavy and it’s starting to become REALLY difficult to get around…even just walking makes me incredibly tired and winded. Not to mention having to get up multiple times during the night to go to the bathroom. I literally have to roll myself out of bed and roll back on. Sigh. The heat wave we've been experiencing doesn't help, since it results in me retaining water (extra weight gain) and swollen ankles. I'm also expereincing carpel tunnel in my joints and hands. So my 31 year old body, feels at least 60. Well, at least its what it feels like. The anxiety and fear is definitely building. It’s hard to describe. I feel both excited and scared. I can’t wait to meet my little girl, but scared at what I have to go through to meet her. Sigh.

I think you should wait to have her on the 10th. Then she and I can be birthday buddies just like Keith and Tyler are! But I won't be mad if you have her early. :0)
Hope these last few weeks fly by. Your life will never be the same again (and I mean that in the BEST way!)
Love ya, cousin.
