We are at 39 weeks and 3 days! This is the week where I’ve realized that it can actually be really fun to respond to pregnancy comments/questions. I love watching peoples’ eyes go wide when they ask when I’m due and I smile and say, “Saturday.” Some people appear to almost panic while looking me over for signs that I’m in labor. It’s been an endless source of entertainment over the last few days.
At my OB appointment today I learned that my body made no additional progress this week and our girl still hasn't dropped. That was mildly frustrating news, but the nurse did firmly tell her that she is being evicted this week :-) My doctor is unconcerned for now, so I'm not worried either. We're just taking it easy and waiting for the timing to be right. My doctor did say she was impressed with how well I'm getting around for being 39 weeks though, and that makes me proud. I am actually feeling quite well considering, which makes this whole waiting thing much easier.
Lee has been very busy at school with multiple papers in progress, and he says the timing will be right on Saturday (our due date) though he could work us in on Friday too. Ha! I just smile, bat my eyelashes, and say, “Sure thing, Honey.” In truth, he’s as excited and impatient to meet our girl as I am, if not more. However, we’ll both be ready and delighted whenever she makes her debut, especially since Nana arrived to help today :-)
