38 weeks!

38 weeks. I cant say its been long because it surely has flown by. I feel like we JUST found out we were pregnant and now here we are playing the waiting game. As bad as it sounds I pray every night since oh about 36 weeks that tonight will be the night. I know it may sound horrible, that Im PRAYING for my sweet girl to come on out but shes healthy, shes BIG, and I want her to spend as much time with her Daddy as possible before he leaves for 8 months...and not to mention that Im just plain anxious to meet her myself! I cannot wait to see who/what she looks like. I cant wait to just squeeze her and kiss all over her! There was obviously no news at my appointment from Friday since I didnt post. She didnt even check me because according to her "she didnt want me to go home disappointed" I like this doctor. In fact Im hoping shes the one that delivers Delaney. I see her again Friday so hopefully there will be some news. At my last appointment however she did tell me Delaney is now "engaged" in the birth canal and that IF i make it to 40 weeks ( because I let her know Im doing everything Ive heard of to get her out) that my little nugget will be at least 9 lbs. I think she saw the horror in my face at the thought of pushing out a 9 lb baby so she gave me some of her own advice as to how I can try to get her to come early. Hopefully it works.. I guess we will know soon enough!
