A Little Progress

Jess and I had our 39 week check up yesterday and found out we are making a little progress, nothing to get too excited about, but hey it's progress. I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. The doctor didn't seem too hopeful I would go into labor soon, but she said every woman is different. The doctor discussed with us what would happen if I didn't go into labor by my due date. Where we are delivering is a very busy place and to be induced before your due date or before 41 weeks you have to have priority and it is usually a medical priority. We are very thankful that we have had a healthy fairly easy pregnancy and we aren't classified as a "medical" priority. So with all that said on my due date we will be put on the list and scheduled to have an induction at 41 weeks or a few days after. That seems like so far away, but we are hoping we won't have to get to that point and this baby will come on his own and when he is ready. We are so excited and are very anxious to meet our son.

Today I realized I had some more laundry to do for Canon. I actually kind of got excited. I love looking through his clothes and I just imagine him in them. I can't wait to actually see Canon in them! I am so ready to be a mommy and Jess is so ready to be a dad!

We are praying we will go SOON! Jess and my mom both said they predicted 10/10, but that is only just a few short days away, so I rather doubt it (but I sure do hope so).

Love,

Rachel
