Wings...

family pictures from 2 springs ago : )

so, i had a doctor's appointment today. im 39.4 weeks pregnant and here are my stats. i am 39 cm for the fundal height. she said i was 39 cm last week, so maybe the baby dropped. lets get a hallelujah!! for some reason i lost 2 lbs but the doc didnt seem to think it was a big deal. (so i came home and had the biggest lunch of my life, no joke. i dont want my baby girl starving in there! i promise i eat like a man!) i am 4-5 cm dilated (last friday i was a 3), and 90% effaced (last friday i was 80%). when my doctor saw how dilated and effaced i was, she laughed! out of shock i assume, because then she questioned if i was always like this with my others. i told her sadly, yes, but not this much before my due date. soo, she told me i could have her any time really, and if i start having regular contractions, to get to the hospital ASAP! that was exciting to hear. i was induced with both cole and tucker for being overdue (i feel like a library book when i say that), so i get excited to think i might go into labor on my own. she said she couldn't schedule an induction though until the 29th! that would be absolutely horrible if i did have to wait that long. because, as i said in a earlier post, my original due date was the 15th... so to push it back all the way to the 29th... i might lose my mind! but, neverthless, i am getting so excited and its starting to sink in that she really will be here any day now! i get so many emotions going on whenever i reach the end of my pregnancies now. i get soo excited we are adding a sweet little soul to our family, but then i get nervous and sad to think i won't be able to give AS much attention to the boys-at least for a while. i will try though! i am soo grateful for ryan, tucker and cole. they make my life soooo meaningful! im truly grateful to have our eternal family. i am so thankful to be able to and feel so blessed to have it grow. as i sit here typing this (when i should be doing the laundry that i let pile up that is making me nervous ; ) my nesting is getting out of control), while my sleepy little men are taking naps, i just thought, "man, life keeps going faster and faster. and visually, this is how my thought process went...
