40 Weeks!!!

We went to the doctor today for our 40th week appointment. Technically we are one day over due right now so they did a non-stress test to make sure the baby was still moving and doing good. Everything came out great but for the third week in a row I am just 1 cm dilated. Dr. Shah scheduled our appointment for next week when we will do another non-stress test and an ultrasound. When we made the appointment at the front desk we told the girl, hopefully we would be unable to make that appointment.
Today is my third day of maternity leave. I had planned to work right up until the baby was born but Pete encouraged me to start my maternity leave this week so that I could have some time to rest before the baby arrived. I am so thankful for his encouragement because we have had the most wonderful last three days together. Monday we woke up and went for a walk on Bowman's beach, came home, cleaned the house and mowed the yard and then played 18 holes of golf. Pete played the golf, I just rode along for the ride and it was perfect. Tuesday we took a walk and then went to the movies to see The Town. Tuesday night we ordered pizza and relaxed. Today we went for a walk on Fort Myers Beach, ran some errands, went to lunch, went to the library, went to our doctor's appointment, took a walk around the neighborhood and are going to relax tonight. It has been such a blessing spending this very special time together, especially as we realize that this is the last time it will be just the two of us in our little family.
Each day we anticipate the arrival of our sweet baby, it is so much fun thinking that everyday could be the day.
