39 week Appointment

As I lay here on the couch, I cannot imagine doing this everyday. I had planned on working up until labor hit, but those plans soon changed this week. It all started with extreme lower pressure and the feeling that my hips were cracking. Then, as if that wasn't painful enough, I came down with a horrible head cold. Sore throat, headache, runny nose and overall achy feeling. So that caused me to loose sleep last night which in return caused me to miss work today. I have done nothing but lay on this couch and watch TV. I'm starting to rethink my stay at home mom future plans. I just don't think I could do it. 

As far as the doctor's appointment I had on Tuesday, I'm dilated 1.5 cm and 50% effaced so far. No change from last week in case your wondering. This basically means that I'm not ready to go into labor. With my due date being only 3 days away, I'm starting to warm up to the idea that I'm going to be late. Maybe we will have a March baby after all. Who knows. The doctor did assure me, however, that they will not allow me to go over 10 days past due. So their is an and in sight!

For now, you can enjoy this lovely picture below of Marshall getting some practice on how to hold a baby :)
