Final days...end in sight

Michael and I had a doctors appointment on Monday with Dr. Wrennick. Her heart beat is good, all my vitals are chuggin' right along. I finished my 39th week, moving into my final week, and I haven't dialated or made any progress. She is, however, still head down - which is a plus. I had my first set of contractions on Sunday night. They were about 10 minutes apart for about an hour, but then just fizzled off. I've had a few sporatic ones here and there since then, but nothing to get excited over.

I have another doctors appointment with Nadine Thomas on Monday to see if I've made any progress - and another that following Friday morning. If I haven't made any progress or gone into labor, I have to go into the hospital on Monday, the 26th at 3pm. They will put a pill in my cervix to start the softening. I will spend the night, and then they will start me on pitocin the following morning. Its nice to see that there is an ending in sight until we meet our little girl. It would be much more ideal if she came earlier, but I'm ok with having to wait less than just 2 more weeks!!!!

Not to mention, we close on our house on Friday morning. We are still waiting on closing costs and our HUD. This weekend is also Michael's birthday, but he doesn't seem too interested to do anything for it. I'm going to try and sneak him away to at least dinner to celebrate. He is all about working on the house this weekend and getting things moved in. I can't wait until we are all moved in!!

My last day of work is this Friday, so I'll be able to work on the house next week - possibly painting the baby's room and getting things unpacked here and there. We have a lot of people that'll need to come out and do things too - so it'll be good that I'll be off work to take care of everything, while Michael is at work prior to her arrival.

So...lots going on. We are very excited anticipating her big debut. She moves here and there still, but is definitely running out of room. I will miss all her little movements, but look forward to holding her...
