Almost Here

So 2 weeks ago I went in for my 36 week checkup. This is when the dr. starts to check you and see if you are progressing. Well I had great news that week! I was already 70% effaced and 1 ½ cm dilated. Then last week, at 37 weeks, she checked again and I was 80% effaced and 3 cm dilated! I was so excited! She told me that my body is progressing great and that I could have the baby any time! She even said she wouldn’t be surprised if I had him that weekend, well I obviously didn’t! So tomorrow I go in for my 38 week checkup… I really hope I have progressed more because as much as I have loved being pregnant and sharing my body with my cute son… I am ready to be done with this part.

We have his crib up and everything is basically ready for him to be here except for a few minor things, and I think that is what is making it so hard as well, seeing all his cute clothes and toys and smelling the baby wash and not being able to use it yet lol! Pregnancy has been a great experience, I have had a VERY easy pregnancy compared to a lot of women and I am very grateful for that, and I’m sure once it is all over I will miss being able to feel him move inside of me, but right now, all I can think about is holding him, rocking him, feeding him, bathing him, dressing him and being able to finally play with him and see him! My goal over the past little bit has been to “live in the moment” and “find joy in the journey” and I truly am so happy right now and looking back on the past 9 months, I have been so happy going through this amazing experience, but I can’t help but look ahead a few weeks and want that to be here so badly. I don’t want to be one of those people that feel like “I’ll be happy when……” but I will be happy when my son is finally here! HAHA!
