37 Weeks

I'm 37.5 weeks and my fingers have been replaced by sausages and my abdomen has been replaced by a watermelon and two honeydew melons. Hey, sounds like a pretty good breakfast. Needless to say, I am now, more than ever before ready to have this baby. He is fully cooked and just packing on the pounds until he decides that he's ready for a new living arrangement. This week I've been walking a lot, eating spicy food, and jumping up and down trying to get him to make his entry a little bit early. So far though, not too much has happened. I have a dr's appointment in the morning...I'm hoping that I've at least dilated a little more than last week (which was 1cm). I never thought that I would ever look forward to pelvic exams. Am I weird?

I feel like a 5 year old waiting on Santa to come on Christmas morning. I am not very good with surprises. I am a planner and like to know exactly when and how things are going to go down. I envy my sister-in-law who knows exactly when their little beauty will arrive via c-section. I do not wish for major abdominal surgery upon myself, but it would be nice to have a date to look forward to. So far we have a prediction of October 26 and another one of October 31 of when Liam will arrive. I am going to hope for October 27 since my Dr. practices at a different office on Wednesdays and therefore would not be around for my delivery on the 26. The 22 would be cool too because he could share a birthday with his Pappi (my dad). I guess there's no need stressing over this. He will come when he is good and ready and if not, will be served an eviction notice on November 8th!
