40 Weeks! arrg!

Well I am officially 40 weeks along today! I can't believe I made it to my due date. For some reason I had it in my head during almost this entire pregnancy that I was going have Braylie sometime last week. Well I am definitly learning patience once again! I feel like I am going to be pregnant forever!! I'm on maternity leave now which is very nice since I'm barely sleeping at night and am pretty much exhausted all the time but at the same time I'm getting extremely bored and feel like I have nothing to do anymore! I'm sure my sister is probably sick of me by now because I tag along pretty much 24/7 but I sure appreciate her letting me, so that I at least have some company.
Well to give an update on what the doctor said on friday at my appt. I am almost 3 cm dialated and a little over 50% effaced. He also said my cervix is very "ripe". I don't know exactly what that means but it sounds good to me. I pretty much begged him this last time to induce me (my sister and I even came up with the plan that I would cry so he would feel bad for me, but I chickened out. I'm thinking now that I should have done it.) but he pretty much told me that he won't do it until I am 41 weeks along and there is medical reason. So the plan is if I haven't had her by friday we are going to set up the inducement time then. My doc said he bets I'll have her before then but I'm doubting that extremely. I guess either way I will be having a baby soon...even though it doesn't feel like it and that I'm going to be pregnant forever! Hopefully my next update will either be letting people know when I will be induced or baby pics!

38 weeks!

So there really isn't a ton to update on honestly but people keep askin so here it is. I guess things could change pretty quick at this point also and who knows when I will get to it next...since I've been so on top on this, lol, ya right! Anyways I'm not doin to bad. I am extremely uncomfortable and my body is aching constantly...especially when I TRY to sleep, but from what I hear that is just the norm of pregnancy and I think it could be a whole lot worse. (At least I'm not throwing up again!) So I had my first for sure contraction this morning at about 9:00 but that is the only one so far but I've been having tons of braxton hicks also. Last week when I went to the doctor I was dialated to a 1 and was 50% effaced. So hopefully when I go to the doctor tomorrow I'll have had a little more progress. I'm tryin not to get my hopes up though...even though it's not really working. So right now I am just trying to distract myself and keep busy so time goes a little faster and Brad and I can meet our little one soon!

Congratulations Bradley!!

Well I don't have a whole lot new to say but I do have a very exciting announcement to make. My husband (Brad) is now a licensed engineer!! We finally got his results back ,over Christmas, for his big exam he took in October and he passed! It is such a relief to know that he doesn't have to do it again! Anyways we are very excited about it and I am so proud of him and all his hard work.

Brad and I had very good holidays. We got to spend Christmas day in Pocatello with his family. Katie his little sister was married Dec. 18th so we got an added bonus this year as well with her husband, Mike, which was very fun!

So after Christmas we headed down to Salt Lake to spend a couple days with my side of the family which was also very fun for us, but I must say after being away from home for a little more than a week and a half and being 8 almost 9 months pregnant at the time it was sure nice to get home!
