Any Day Now

Tomorrow is my due date and I am anxious for my little girl to get here. Not because I am uncomfortable or feeling bad, but just because I am tired of being pregnant and ready to finally meet her. I know that having a baby will change my life forever but I am excited about the change and looking forward to it. Right now I am just nervous about actually having to deliver her. It's a little scary to think about so I try not to think about it too much. I decided I would keep working until she came, but I am having a hard time going into work every day. At least I was able to get my replacement trained before I left so I know everyone at work will be taken care of.

At my last doctor's appointment everything still looked fine. He did say that I had progressed a little (about 1 cm) but wanted to go ahead and schedule an induction date with the hospital. It is official. My baby will be here on February 5 if she has not come already. I would much rather her come on her own, but at least I have a date to look forward to in case she doesn't. Now we just have to wait for her to decide when she wants to come. The not knowing part is hard. I wake up every morning thinking that today could be the day, and then it isn't. Then I will have a contraction and think my labor is starting, but then no other contractions come. My trust in God and His timing is what keeps me at peace these days.

Here is a picture of me at 39 weeks. Hopefully I won't look like this too much longer!
