Today is Due Day!

Well, today is my due date with this little guy. Unfortunately, I don't think he is planning on coming out anytime soon.

Had a midwife appointment yesterday. Still no progress. Although, she did find the heartbeat up high on my belly and she was worried that he flipped breech again. I was almost positive that he was still head-down, but she wanted to make sure. So I got a 20 second ultrasound right then. They had the probe on my tummy long enough to see that he was indeed still head down and measure the heartbeat. Whew!

I am also starting to get cankles. I guess I cannot complain since I am full term! My hips are also really starting to bother me. I think running after Julia makes the end of pregnancy a little harder on my body.

I already have my appointment scheduled for next week. We will talk then on a induction date. Urgh.. I really don't want to be induced again. I will deal with it if I have to, I just hope I don't have to.

Oh, I still have not packed my pack. I had always heard that if you had everything ready weeks before the baby is due, the baby would definitely come late. Well, I thought maybe the opposite would be true, that if I did not have things ready, he would actually come on time! So much for wishful thinking!

I think I am going to take Julia to the Boonshoft Museum this morning. This way she burns off some energy, my house stays clean, and I will walk, walk, walk and maybe that will help move things along!

I will definitely be posting any major updates in my blog!
