39 weeks

Our due date is this week, in just four days--that's wild!  And, our tentative due date, that they gave us at our 20 week ultrasound came and went yesterday.  We're more than ready to meet our little boy and trying to just wait patiently until he's ready to join us!  I went back to the doctor again today and I'm now dilated to a whopping 1, but he said Aedan's in a really good position and I'm pretty much fully effaced. So, I'm praying hard that he decides to come in the next week or so. :)  I've had a few contractions so far, but nothing serious.  Landon and I are about ready for me to start eating the spicy food, walking more, drinking the special tea...but we're trying to just enjoy these last few days too.  I am so thankful that I still feel good and am still able to exercise and do pretty much everything.  And, there is a part of me that is sad that I'm about to not be pregnant anymore, because I truly have LOVED every moment of it.  But, there's also a small part of me that is so ready to have the little things back--like sleeping on my back and stomach, getting a coffee from Starbucks on occasion, being able to bend over, being able to stand up without having to use something to pull myself up, wearing my old clothes (or at least some of them).  You know, the little things.  But mainly, we're just ready to meet our little baby and have him home with us and have this next phase of our life begin.
