Tomorrow marks week 37 of this pregnancy and there is almost nothing new to report. I saw our midwife on Thursday and was given the pleasure of having my cervix checked. She was happy to report that my cervix is still very long and very closed. She then went on to say that I would most likely deliver close to my due date, 7/20, if not after. I have until 8/10 to have this baby at which point they will induce. I am hoping that she doesn't hang in there that long but if she does it is for a reason and I will just have to live with it. As some of you probably realize this news of her predicted arrival came as quite a shock to Steve and me. I have been saying all along that she was going to be early. I knew in the core of my very being that I would not make it to my due date. So when I heard this I was a little disappointed. My first reaction was "crap, can I really wait that long?" But now that the idea has set in I am actually pretty stoked about it. For the past few weeks Steve and I have been running around trying to accomplish everything and now I feel like we can just take a deep breath and relax for a bit. I am even thinking of taking off for a romantic night away. And now that Steve has officially finished his first draft of his thesis I just might be able to swing it.

Damn! You look smokin' hot in this photo!
And whenever Mags gets here will be the perfect time. :)
Guess this means I might not win the baby pool - but I guess a well cooked baby means she'll come out strong, healthy and ready to take on the world! Glad you're enjoying your quiet "down" time before your life changes! Can't wait for more updates. xoxo
