And We Wait Some More

I seriously did not think I would be sitting around waiting at 39 weeks pregnant, but here we are.  Still Waiting.  I have to say I have been very blessed though because I am able to wait in comfort and relaxation. This pregnancy has been so strange. Even though it has resembled my pregnancy with Brianna, I cannot believe how "comfortable" I am.  At this point, I attribute all of it to prayers I said at the beginning, when we were told this would not work out. All I asked for was a healthy baby and a pregnancy that was "normal." The beginning was FAR from normal, but the end has been a pleasure. I have been able to sleep without extreme discomfort.  I have been able to walk without excruciating back pain, and my contractions have been slim to none. I was really believing that something was very wrong because I was not progressing past my 3 cm dilated. But yesterday, my doctor's appointment proved that to be untrue. I now sit at a 4, borderline 5, with the baby's head pressing down on my cervix.  Yeah! I am hoping things turn towards labor soon. I am ready to meet this little one face to face, smother it in kisses, and to tell it, "We have waited so long!  Thanks for FINALLY joining our family! :)"  The kids are also absolutely driving me crazy too.  Everyday is now a competition, from sun up to sun down, on when our baby is coming.  They are so excited they can't stand the waiting! Hopefully it will be soon.  Very Soon!
