Week 39


So I still can't believe we are in week 39! I honestly can't remember what it was like to not be pregnant anymore. It has felt like an eternity! We went in for our weekly appointment this morning to some good/bad news this morning. They did the non-stress test where the pretty much scare Henry and give him the hiccups every week. Then we got our ultrasound to see that he is still growing, a little over 7lbs and 14 oz now! So I am sure he will be 8lbs by tomorrow! I am still dilated at a 2 and only 80% effaced, so no new progress on my own. So the doctor said, what do you want to do Tara? I said I want to have him now please?! He said OK, let me go call the hospital. He came back and said we can go in Thursday night at midnight and start the pitocin and he will break my water Friday morning. I said perfect, lets do this! Of course Justin is a little nervous about induction and thinks I should just wait a little longer because he is due next week anyways. But at this rate the doctor said I could go over 40 weeks and the baby is more then developed and ready to come now if I want him to. So with a little reassurance Justin agreed and we have a date set. I am so glad this whole pregnancy thing will finally be over and I can be comfortable in my own skin again. But most importantly I can't wait to meet our little boy. I am getting more excited everyday and I can't wait to hold him and share him with Justin. We have been waiting for so long for this, I am not even nervous or scared, I am ready. We took a few more pictures of my giant bump I want to remember what I looked like this huge. So in a few months when I feel fat I can pull out these pictures and be glad I have my body back. Even if it will be a little different, it will not look like this. I am so excited!
