39 Weeks

39 Weeks

So we had our Dr apt on Wednesday and to my surprise I am 1 - 2 cm dilated!  I feel like nothing is happening so I was shocked to know things are starting, slowly.  We talked about inducing labor and that for me made things very real!!  I mean I have been so impatient wanting to meet this little girl but when we actually spoke about having her next week, WOW!!!  I'm not gonna lie, I got a little panicked.  I mean I have everything ready here at home, or do I?  The second guessing began.  I guess you really aren't ever totally prepared.  But Corey and I have been working so hard to make everything perfect!!  And we are so beyond excited!  So hopefully Penelope will come on her own (Dr seemed optimistic) but if she's not here by our next apt (Wed. the 19th) looks like we will be induced.  But I have my labor inducing home remedies in full swing.  I am currently drinking my tea :) and walking as much as I can.  I am having some back pains and shooting pains down my front/inner thighs but once I get moving I seem to be OK.  And with all the belly laughs I had last night at our Gingerbread House Decorating evening I thought for sure we would have some baby action today, but so far still waiting!  Here are some pics: 

She'll come when she's ready.  I am practicing my patience :) Lots planned for the weekend so maybe she will wait till Monday.  Stay tuned.  Happy Friday!!
