40 weeks and 4 days

Today is the 4th day after our original due date and boy am I ready to meet our little guy!!! Thursday we had an appointment for a non stress test and ultrasound. We had the ultrasound first where they looked at his heart, the fluid, movement, and to see if he is practicing breathing (movement of the diaphragm). Out of 8 points possible he got all 8 and so they told us that we didn't need to do the the NST. When we first went into the ultrasound room Kevin and I weren't sure that we wanted to watch but as it got started we couldn't help but look at our little guy and be amazed at how much he had grown and changed over the months. He's a little person with all of his fingers and toes! He looks pretty smooshed in there but apparently likes it just fine. It was reassuring to see him and to hear that everything looks good and he appears to be perfectly healthy. Now we continue to wait (which is becoming harder and harder for me to do). We are hoping that he comes on his own this weekend before our appointment on Tuesday to avoid having to be induced. As much as I wish our doctor could be there I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO ready and really don't like the idea of being induced. This weekend I plan on doing lots of walking and stretching on my exercise ball as well as keeping busy while we wait. We have appreciated all the support from friends and family and look forward to finally getting to introduce our little guy to you all!!!

This is what we got to see at our ultrasound....a little sneak peek...
