The finish line is near!




Ok...here's a picture of Lila just b/c she is so stinkin cute. Although she is getting a little bit stubborn and very particular about things. I think she'll have some major adjustments when the baby comes.

37 Weeks Today---Full Term!
So with Lila I didn't really know I was in labor. I didn't even feel labor pains, I just felt a little funny and when we got to the hospital I was 8 cm dilated and the nurses tried to slow down labor so the doctor could get there and I could get an epidural. So with this baby I am fearful I am going to have him/her in the car. At my doctor's appointment yesterday I told my doctor my fear and expected him to laugh at me. He didn't. He agreed and said he didn't want me giving birth on the side of the road. So he thinks at my next appointment I will be about 4 cm dilated, (I'm 3cm now) and if I am and having any contractions whatsoever that they'll admit to the hospital and we'll have the baby next Tuesday. Hooray! If I'm not 4cm dilated then I will be induced on January 21st. The hospital has a rule about not inducing before 39 weeks. Boooooooo. I'll be honest, this has been an absolutely miserable pregnancy and I am ready to meet our little miracle.

Lila is SO cute! I'm so glad you share pictures since we don't get to see you often.

I'm sorry your pregnancy has been rough, but you're just about there! I'll be waiting for an email, phone call or text from someone giving the good news of the little one's arrival!

Take care. Love you guys.
