THE FINAL STRETCH

Today marks 38 weeks of pregnancy. By now I am definitely ready to have this baby. Every morning I wake up wondering if today will be the day. And so far I am still pregnant. At our weekly doctor's appointment this past Wednesday the doctor checked my cervix and there was still no real progress. She said his head was "right there" and I was softening but there was no dilation or effacement. And oh by the way, did I mention how painful that process was? Ouch! I do not look forward to that procedure again this week. Hopefully, we'll have some good results from it though. I only wish that someone would have warned me about that pain.

Chris's parents have been in town visiting this weekend and it has been very nice. We've been eating well and enjoying our time together. They leave tomorrow and the next time we see them they'll get to hold their grandson. I can't wait!!!
