This past Thursday was our weekly midwife appointment. I am 39 weeks and was dialated to 3cm and still 80% effaced so we're making some progress. My midwife said it could be any time now!! I've also had contractions for the past few days although they aren't regular just yet. It seems every time we start to get excited, my contractions stop. I must admit, it's becoming very frustrating although I am trying my best to enjoy the last days of pregnancy.
I'm starting to get nervous about the delivery. The planner in me is becoming anxious with the "unknowns" that are about to happen. Our goal is still for a natural delivery without pain meds but I am open to the idea that that plan may change.
Our bags are packed and we're both ready to meet our baby. I'm quickly learning that babies operate on their own schedules and ours just isn't quite ready to make his/her grand appearance. When "it" finally does, both mommy and daddy will be waiting with open arms :) Until then, we'll just keep waiting.....
