"Any day now!"

And that's where we are at! Had an amazing baby shower this past Sunday that my sister and mother in law hosted- super cute little man themed party filled with ties, mustaches, and daisies! We were incredibly blessed with everything we needed and some very nice comforts!

Monday doc said I was dilated to 3.5 and 40% effaced. Had to go home early on thursday night from work because I was so exhausted from having contractions while working! One patient asked why my hands were shaking- well, maybe I'm having a contraction! Course they never regulated out, but my doc had me come in for an evaluation just to check. Everything was fine and I'm now 60% effaced! I was pretty embarrassed that I came in but my doc said not to worry cuz when she was a 3rd year resident she got checked all the time, and it was her third kid! I have to say I have an amazing ob/gyn! Even Alan was asking if she could be our primary doc!
Was so worn out from getting things ready and working extra this week, I had to call in for Friday, which my body took advantage of and slept 13 hours straight followed by several naps today! I keep thinking "why am I so tired?" and then I remember, oh ya, I'm 9 months pregnant!

The summer heat hasn't been too bad simply because I've been avoiding the heat! I step outside and my feet instantly start swelling followed by a bunch of Braxton hicks! Simply looking forward to going on walks with baby here soon!
So with the doc thinking I'll go anytime and most likely next weekend, I'm doing my best to sleep and spend time with hubby as much as possible! I'm nervous about this big new life change- how will he be, how will we do as parents, how our lives will change- but at the same I'm so very excited and filled with joy at this amazing blessing that is about to happen! Makes me think to Hannah and her prayers for a child and unbelievable joy and gratitude to God when she was blessed with children. I'm so very excited! Yup, it beats the nerves!
