So anyways... I have made a little progress lately, or should I say Ava has made a little progress :)!! At my OB appt this week she said I am about 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced... so that's good news!! At least I'm getting somewhere....slowly but surely:) I'm getting to the point where I just want to be done being pregnant. One of my doctors this week told me that they'd let me go a week past my due date before they induce me....which I think is just plain RUDE:) But hopefully we don't get to that point!! At this point I really do feel like I'll be pregnant forever... as irrational as it sounds ;) It's funny how these last couple weeks have felt like a LIFETIME waiting for our little bundle of joy to get here. But we're down to the final days so I'm trying to take advantage of my free time. Work, however, is really becoming a DRAG! I keep talking to Ava & telling her she needs to come out before my next string of days in a row at work...which is this weekend...but I don't think she'll listen:) My last day of work is next Thursday the 16th (my due date:) ) so I'll be sure to pack our bags in my car in the morning and be ready to just take the elevator down a couple floors and check myself in when the time comes :) Guess I couldn't be working up to my due date at a better place! I like to remind myself that I have 4 more days of work and then I'm off until next year!! Wooohooo!! I love that I'll be off over the holidays with our new baby and will have lots of opportunities to hang out with our families over the most family oriented time of the year!! Now that's a blessing :) I couldn't have timed that better if I had planned it !
Well I suppose I better stick one last belly picture on here.... this was taken last week.
** You're probably thinking that my belly doesn't look so big...but trust me, I have to literally roll myself out of bed in the morning and catapult myself out of any sitting position....it's big enough ;) **
