39 weeks, 2 days: Two centimeters!

That's the word from Dr. Christian. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it's good news for me. My body is doing what it's supposed to do. Everything looks great. Heartbeat was 142 and I'm up 3 more lbs (I think it's all in my feet). That puts me at 149, up 45 lbs to date. And...if she doesn't make her appearance over the next couple of days then I'm being induced on Tuesday the 17th, my actual due date. There's no need for concern. He just doesn't want her to get too big. I'm excited and nervous and a little scared all at the same time. I can't believe it's actually time. Tomorrow will be my last day at work and hopefully I'll be able to get all the last minute things done that I need or want to get done. I'm still hoping for her to come on her own over the next couple of days and with the increase in contractions and pressure that still may be the case. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'll try to update as much as possible to keep everyone updated. Can't wait for everyone to meet Addison.
