And STILL Waiting...

I'm beginning to get rather impatient. No, but really, I have had enough cankles, swollen hands, legs, etc.; waddling around; indigestion; peeing every hour during the night (if not more). And I did not know my appetite could be so big (I literally eat everything in sight!)

My last OB appointment was this past Monday. I was dilated to a 4. She seemed to think that it would be that night or the next. Well, she was obviously wrong. She had me schedule an appointment for next Tuesday (the 26th) just in case we still don't get a baby before.

Today marks 40 weeks and 5 days! Please send some labor vibes my way. Baby Ava, we are ready for you to get here!

Awaiting Baby Ava

Still no baby yet! I've been enjoying my time off of work before baby - trying to get plenty of rest, finish up a few last minute tasks, and spend some quality time with Aden. James is finished with school and finals and has a couple of weeks before summer session starts up, so baby Ava's timing will be just right. Saturday is the big day, when she is predicted to make her appearance, so we will see. My friend Miranda came over tonight and set up our new pack n' play. While she was here, she snapped a few pictures that I have posted below.


Kisses for baby sister


40 week belly shot


Just being silly

And her name will be...

After talking and talking about names, we have finally decided! I'm glad to have that out of the way and settled. We had our 39 week appointment yesterday. I'm still dialated to a 1, but Dr. Rainwater said almost a 2? and my cervix is softening. She said I will have until 41 weeks to go into labor spontaneously and then after that, she'll have to schedule a c-section. Dr. Rainwater will be out of town the first part of next week, so I won't go for our 40 week appointment until next Thursday afternoon.
