It is July....and you know what that means...watermelon! :) According to the site that I had been using to compare Zoe to the fruit and veggies, she is the size of a watermelon! How appropriate! Some days it honestly feels like that is what I am carrying around with me. It is amazing how much she has grown in 9 months!
This past week (Tuesday July 7) we went to the doctor and to my surprise she informed me that I was 3 cm dilated all ready! I laughed out loud and then proceeded to ask her if she was kidding. If you know my doctor, that is a crazy thing to ask! :) (she is very serious...good doctor...but wouldn't joke... :)) I was amazed! I kept repeating to Geoff the rest of the day that I was 3 cm. She even told me to pack my bag! (interesting fact....I packed on Saturday afternoon!) I have been expecting something to happen since that day, but here I am almost a week since then and still the same. I am anxiously awaiting my appointment Wednesday to find out how I have progressed in a weeks time. I know she will come when she is ready. I don't want to rush anything, but I think about it all the time now since I know I am 3 cm.
We are finished with the nursery except for hanging one piece of art and waiting for my glider to come in. I have packed my bag and made the lists of people to text or call. So now we wait for our little girl to make her arrival! :) I am feeling really good still and have made it a couple of times to the gym still. It is a lot harder for me to do normal activities these past few weeks, and I definitely get tired more quickly. My main complaint is still my hands and sleeping, but I feel pretty blessed with how easy my pregnancy has been! My feelings about the end are mixed of happiness and sadness. I know it sounds weird, but I will miss being pregnant. I know that will be overshadowed completely though with the love and happiness of having her in my arms instead! :) People ask me a lot if I am scared about having her and the pain of labor. It is so weird, but I have no anxiety about this at all. I have a peace about it. I feel like I know it going to happen....I want it to happen...and I am ready. I believe that the Lord is in control and his will be done. I am thankful for all the prayers from others for this pregnancy for our Zoe.
Well...posting again soon unless I go into labor before then...

You would think the joy of a baby would overshadow missing being pregnant, but it really doesnt (and it's perfectly normal!)... suddenly, nobody is obsessing over your belly or you at all, its all about her! It is how it should be, but it is still an adjustment... I missed Audrey even when I was holding her! It is so weird to try to explain, but it is all good in the end! :)
I completely understand not being scared. It is going to happen no matter what, and you are going to do great! Especially since you have been so active during the pregnancy. I am jealous!! Good Luck, can't wait to see her!! :)
