The day I felt would never come has actually come. For those of you who don't know w hole lot about pregnancy I will kinda fill you in on how it works. Pregnancy gestational period is 40 weeks however once you reach 37 weeks you are considered full term and the baby really could come at any point after the 37 week mark and not be considered premature.
I am officially 37 weeks pregnant and well from my appointment on Monday it feels like the baby could be ready to come very soon. I am measuring at 38 weeks. My cervix is dilated 1.5 cm and I am 70% effaced. I am having a contraction about every 20-30 minutes as of now and that has been happening since yesterday. In all reality my due date is only 21 days away is just crazy. Only 21 more days til I am officially a mom. I feel like I am ready for this but at the same time I feel like I could have a major panic attack. All my life I have wanted to be a mommy and start a family. When I met John it just clicked and I knew I would have a family with him. Now that family is actually almost here. I am just in shock and so excited!
I got released and put on maternity leave last Monday so this is officially my 2nd week on maternity leave. I have gotten the baby room pretty much ready and I have one final baby shower this coming weekend. I have trouble standing for any amount of time anymore. The baby is so low he is pushing on my nerves and my right leg will suddenly go numb. I feel like I am ready for this.
Hurry up, Lincoln! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to meet you!
