38 Weeks

So we are 38 weeks along. I cannot believe we are finally at the end!!! I had my doctor appointment this morning and it looks like everything is progressing along nicely. I am not dialated, but I am at station 0. The doctor was quite shocked at how low she is sitting. He said all I have to do is dialate...everything else is ready. I am so excited! He didn't say it would be a few more weeks. He said it could happen anytime now. It probably won't happen for a couple more weeks, but that's totally okay. I am feeling great today!

My mother is so awesome. I am so glad she is here. I can't get over how de-stressing it is to have her here. I didn't realize how anxious I was about just everything in general until she got here and I'm not anymore! It's fabulous!! Blake is way more comfortable having her here. He doesn't have to stress about me going into labor and him not being able to make it home to take me to the hospital that's a half hour away in good traffic and no weather (which rarely happens). We have been having such a wonderful visit so far. It's hard to believe that she has been here for a week already. We started watching Gone With the Wind. I have never seen this before and it is fabulous. I can't wait to finish it! We have also watched Sense and Sensability. I have never seen that one either, I rather fell in love with that one as well!!

On another note...I just got the most wonderful gift in the mail today. My sister is the most wonderful person in the world!! She made and printed off all my baby announcements and address labels to go with them! I just got them today and they are wonderful! They are exactly what I had envisioned. I cannot thank her enough for this. She is just the best sister ever!!

As you all can probably tell, I had just a really wonderful day. I love when I am in a spectacular mood! I hope you all had a fabulous day too!!

I love Gone With The Wind...It is one of my favorite movies....My grandma skipped school to see it in the theaters and payed a dime to watch it....I am so excited for you and happy that your mom is there...I know exactly how you feel about lowering your anxiety level. Mom's are good for that...Walking really helped me go into labor with Cole...I walked about 3 miles with my Mom one day When I was 39 weeks pregnant with Cole...My water broke the next day! I am praying for you guys...The kids and I having been including little Cara in our nightly prayers too.. We love love love you guys....
