41 Weeks

Sweet little boy,

How so very excited your daddy and I were WAAAY back in January when we found out about you. It’s been long (and bumpy) journey but gosh, you’ve taught me so much and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

You’ve shown me how blessed I am to have your daddy to stand beside. How fortunate I am to have wonderfully supportive people in my life. That sometimes it’s okay to say ‘no’ (people will still like you). And that sometimes forcing yourself to slow down, no matter how hard is sometimes the best, wisest and only decision. Thank you little one!

 Just one small request as we head into this new season…It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining and your daddy, big brother and I are so very anxious to meet you. So what do you say? Maybe today we could celebrate your birth day? Please?!!

Love you to the moon and back, can’t wait to give you kisses.

Love,
Mommy

Other Baby News:

We had our 41 week midwife appt. today to review yesterday's ultrasound and stress test results. 
Little dude scored 8 out of 8 for all things checked: amniotic fluid, breathing, muscle movement, response to stimulation, ect.. Good, good news!

Charlene did a good sweep and stretch and was pleased with her discoveries. Talked a bit more about post date prevention and scheduled an appt. for the day after tomorrow if still no baby. If we make it that far, there will be talk of acupuncture, more homeopathic methods, ect.

Saw Rachel (the DC) for what I hope is the last time. Again, she worked me hard with the pressure points. Ugh.

It's 8pm this evening it feels like labor is just around the corner. Lots of cramping and soreness. - Fingers crossed!
