38 weeks...almost here?

Well I am a little over 38 weeks pregnant and had a dr. appt yesterday. While at the dr. I was almost 4 cm dialated and 100% effaced. He seems to think that today will be the day, possibly tomorrow. When I woke up this morning I had a couple of contractions right away so I decided I should probably go ahead and call the sub just in case. I now sit here at 12:15 and wish I were at work! I am having some contractions off and on and occasionally they are stronger, but really nothing much is happening. I am afraid of two things...either 1 the contractions will intensify very quickly and I will not have time for an epidural YIKES, or 2 I will continue to have contractions like this and I will have wasted the day and not have this baby for a few more days. I am not sure which one is worse at this point. I am so excited to see this baby and to have him or her before Bryson's birthday on Sunday. I know that the birthdays will be close anyway so I am sure that they will celebrate together, but it would be kind of nice for them to at least have a special day to themselves. I am sure I will be the only person worried about that! Oh well I guess the baby will come when the baby is ready, we're on baby schedule now, not mommy schedule!

37 weeks

Well I am almost 37 weeks pregnant now and although in some ways it seems like the time has flown by, in other ways I am ready for this little bundle to be here! I can't wait to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. I had a Dr. appt last Wednesday and things are going great. I will now start going every week so we'll see how fast things will start progressing. He said that the head is very low but other than that we don't know too much about when the baby's arrival will be. Bryson's head was low for quite awhile, I don't think it sped up his arrival at all! He was born about 5 days early though, so we'll see. Bryson's birthday is February 28th so I would like to at least hold off until then, but after that I am ready to go! Payton is anxiously waiting and hoping desperately that the baby is a girl. She also thinks it would be really funny if my water just broke somewhere spontaneously some day. I am not so sure that I agree that it would be so funny!
