Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

not yet

Still no baby yet. I'm 40 weeks now, and I went to the doctor this morning. I'm having contractions, but they're not regular, and I'm only the tiniest bit dilated. She has not completely dropped into position. The doctor thinks it will be another week or so. My due date is tomorrow, but it looks like she'll be making her appearance in December. On Monday, I'm having yet another ultrasound (my 4th) to check the amniotic fluid level and a non stress test to make sure she is ok to keep waiting for labor to start. (I requested that they not induce my labor unless the baby is in distress.)

Even though I'm exhausted and my feet are really swollen, I'm ok with waiting. I want her to come when she's ready. I know the timing is all in God's hands.

My sisters sent me a diaper cake today! It is very cute, and I really like it!

(The little pink elephant says "I love my mommy"!)

Tomorrow is Eli's 1st Thanksgiving. We are so thankful that he is here with us, and that we were given the opportunity to be his parents. He is such a blessing to us, and we love him so very much.

Ana,
I thought for sure she was going to come on Thanksgiving. Try drinking some brewed raspberry tea. This should help the contractions. I have another tip but I will not post on the comments section. If you want to email me I will tell you.

I know you can do it.

The diaper cake is adorable...certainly not as adorable as Eli though! He is a cutie - hope you had a wonderful first Thanksgiving with him. Looking forward to hearing your daughter has arrived!
