38 weeks and counting....Happy Birthday to Me! :)


Well, I am 38 weeks and 30 years old as I write this today! :) I guess Zoe decided she wanted to come in my thirties instead of my twenties. :) Fine with me! She will come when she is good and ready! I do think it might be fun to have her today on my birthday...what a neat gift!

I went to the doctor again this week (Wednesday, July 15th) . I am progressing so that is good news. I am still at 3 cm dilated, but she did say that the baby had descended quite a bit in a week! I knew this all ready because my hips don't lie! I am currently 60% effaced. She said it could be any day or could be all the way to my due date on July 29th. I am hoping she decides to come before the 27th since that is the date my parents leave to be with Kelly Ann. I know they would like to be there for both babies to enter this world!

Last night Zoe was a movin' and a groovin,' and I had some crazy feelings going on. I ended up laying down and everything went away. We thought it might be something...but it was a false alarm. :) I had predicted that she was going to come yesterday to Geoff, but I guess I was wrong! I will just have to make a new prediction now!

I have been feeling okay for the most part this week. I am moving a little slower and wanting to sleep a little longer lately. I still went to the gym most days, but my time on the machines is getting a bit shorter. I know I won't be allowed to go to the gym for a while once Zoe is here, so I am trying to stay active until then. I do feel so much better when I go there! :) I attribute part of my easy pregnancy to my continuation of exercise. :)

Today is my birthday, and I am celebrating 30 wonderful years of life. I feel ready to take that next step in life with our new little girl. I am incredibility blessed to have such a wonderful life filled with such great friends and family. I am very happy and have an awesome husband to keep me laughing and on my toes! :) I know our daughter is just going to add to that fun! Praise be to God for all things!

I sit here and wonder if I will be blogging again next week.....we will see! :)

Happy late birthday! Can't wait to see pictures of Zoe when she gets here. What an exciting time and what a blessing to be feeling so great at this point in your pregnancy!

So exciting!! I love reading your posts, they are always so funny. However, they make me feel so lazy about exercising! Enjoy the late sleeping too, it will be awhile before you get that too once Zoe is born! :) Can't wait! I will be in your area next weekend, so maybe Zoe will make her debut and i can see her!! take care!
