39 weeks

Only 5 days from tomorrow before my due date. I made it past April, so this will for sure be a May baby. I really thought I would have the baby by now. I just couldn't fathom being this far along in pregnancy. I was reading my journal last night and remember writing entries from a year ago and praying for God to be preparing my body for a full term pregnancy. It was hard for me to read those because I had so much doubt this whole pregnancy. All I knew was preterm birth and so I thought for sure the baby would come early. I had fear and anxiety everyday almost. And now here I am only days before my due date, I may even go past. My last doctor visit was a week ago and baby was still high and my cervix was just starting to open. I have had no contractions and tomorrow I will get check again to see if any progress has been made. I am feeling really good! Not too uncomfortable except for when I eat too much and rolling over in bed is extremely hard, but other than that I feel really good. No swelling either:) I sure hope my next post is announcing the birth of the baby! I'm ready!!
