37 going on 38 Weeks!

I have officially reached the "full term" stage! I realize I have 2 weeks left to go, but if sweet Caleb were to arrive today, he hopefully would be ready for the world! I am definitely counting down the days! Not any progress at the doctor this week. Last week I was 50% effaced, but not dilated, and this week there was no change. My body definitely feels some change though as the weeks are progressing. I am having TONS of Braxton Hicks contractions, I am exhausted, sleeping is getting more difficult, the heartburn is is FULL SWING, nauseated, back pain, not enjoying food anymore because it has NO WHERE to go (bummer), I feel HUGE....and not to mention the feeling that he might fall out any minute! Wow! It' amazes me what our bodies are capable of when bearing a child! The doctor is estimating that he will way around 7 1/2 pounds if he holds out to the end. We have officially scheduled a C-section for Friday, April 17th at 9:30! So only 13 more days to go and we will be able to meet out little man! Yes, I am miserable, but I want him to be healthy and ready to come out, so I am holding on strong until he is ready to be here. I know things will only get crazier once he has arrived! A VERY active 2 year old and a newborn are going to be 2 full time jobs!!! I am fully aware of this, and YES, it terrifies me!!

miller will turn 3 on april 17th. it is a good day if he holds out to the end. of course, my little guy was induced three days late, i think boys are stubborn when it comes to things like that. but, oh, how he steals your heart!
