I haven't felt much like posting any pictures lately - or taking them for that matter - because no matter what I do I feel huge. However, I am comforted by Erik who says that I don't look pregnant from behind. This picture was taken two weeks ago, so just visualize the bump a bit bigger and lower.
Last week at the OB I was 80% thinned, dilated to a 1, and "in launch position." She stripped my membranes, which caused discomfort but no labor. Basically, I could go any minute, which is killing me. I think I'd rather be told, "Sorry, this baby isn't coming for at least another two weeks. Get over it." Then at least I wouldn't wake up every morning disappointed that I didn't go into labor, and would stop interpreting every twinge and pain as the beginning of the end. I have another appointment today, so maybe if I'm lucky she'll say "You're dilated to a 4! Let's get this baby out." Probably not realistic, but I'm so done with this pregnancy thing. We are so anxious to see her and hold her. Here's how Erik's holding up:
He's better than I at this waiting game. He prays that everything will go well with the delivery and that she will come when she's healthy and ready. I pray morning and night that she will come NOW. Even so, we're down to 13 days...
