39 weeks!

Well, Parker is still in the womb, but as each day passes it is one day closer to his arrival. I'm hoping sooner rather than later, but we will see if Parker wants to be stubborn. I went to the doctor today. I wanted them to check me to see if any progress was made. The doctor's response was "are you interested in being induced?" I kindly replied no. He said he would be glad to check me but since I don't want to be induced now he would recommend not because of the increased risk of infection. Since my son's health and my own is more important than my curiosity, I decided it would be best to wait. However, I think that I am making progress. The baby contines to drop, and I have been having more Braxton Hicks contractions. I was just having them mainly in the evening when I was tired, but today I have been having them all day long. Hopefully soon they will become real contractions and we can begin the process of getting Parker delivered. Someone asked me yesterday are you just tired of being pregnant or are you ready to hold Parker. My reply was both. It is rather difficult now to get a good night sleep. Although I've enjoyed being pregnant (I want to thank God for such a easy pregnancy), I'm ready to have my body back to myself and to be able to sleep on my stomach. But yes I am ready to meet Parker and hold him. I know my life will be forever changed but for the better.
