Any Day Now!!

December 10th and still pregnant!! I was going crazy the past few days, feeling like it was never going to happen, every day feeling like an eternity. I think though that now that I'm officially past my due date, I'm okay knowing that it has to happen sometime soon. And today I went to the doctor and got some encouraging news. Apparently I am currently 4 centimeters dilated, which is awesome because I haven't felt any of it! The past few days I have been growing increasingly uncomfortable and take it just as a sign that my body is actually progressing toward the labor and delivery stage. I went for a stress test today to make sure the baby is still doing well in there and everything looks excellent. We even got to see an ultrasound and got a glimpse of his face, which doesn't look like an alien anymore but actually like a little baby, with chubby cheeks and everything!! I can't wait to see the non-black-and-white/fuzzy-lines version! Joe and I looked at some of the babies in the nursery today while we were at the hospital. It was funny because he was commenting on how tiny they looked and I was marveling at how huge they seemed! Knowing you're carrying one inside you and it somehow has to come out has a funny way of affecting your perspective :)

I'm starting to really put it out of my mind and enjoy the time that Joe and I have together. We've been going out and keeping busy which has been a wonderful distraction but also really fun for us. I'd kinda forgotten just how much fun we have hanging out together. It's great to be with my best bud again :) God is so good, and I'm so grateful for this time, and for the anticipation of a healthy son that we will soon hold in our arms. Thank you everyone who has been encouraging us and praying for us. I feel the prayers already and am counting on them to sustain me during labor and delivery. Can't wait to update you on how it all goes!!
