Waiting...

Tomorrow is my due date and I have to say most of us are surprised I made it this far.  Most predictions were that I was going to be early, but here I am still waiting for Cameron to be ready to make his appearance into the world.  On Friday at my check up I was 50% effaced and about 1cm dialated; some women stay that way for a week so theres no way to know.  On Saturday I had my "bloody show" so again we all hoped he would come over the weekend, but he didn't.  This morning I woke up feeling very exhausted and uncomfortable.  I got up like 5 times to pee and had a lot of my mind.  I have been getting a lot of advice to rest right now because I will need it, but when I try to take a nap it's difficult.  Every feeling I get I wonder if it's a contraction and my mind is so anxious that it's hard to sleep.  Anyone else had that problem? haha. 

Anyway here is the last belly picture.  Next post will hopefully be my birth story.  : )  *crossing fingers*

Best moment this week: I got Emily to feel my tummy move and she giggled.  It was so cute.
