I am actually one day shy of 40 weeks, but I was with the picture I took with Micah's pregnancy also, and happened to go into labor later that day, so I figured it was worth a shot. Micah came right on time - went in to labor 1 day early, but he was born on his due date. Certainly hoping baby #2 follows suit, but at this point, it's seeming to be wishful thinking.
I actually did contract for about 2.5-3 hours last night...enough to even call Christian's parents to let them know we might be calling them in the wee hours of the night...but lo and behold it went nowhere. I actually got a little sad last night as the contractions continued at the thought of Micah not being my only baby anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited about our second son about to arrive any day (hour?!!? :)) but it just hit me last night that I might have put Micah to bed for the last time as my only boy. At my midwife appointment today, I realized it was going to be my last as well. I'm scheduled for a c-section next Wednesday and praying it doesn't come. I honestly can't imagine still being pregnant a week from now, and highly doubt we will be using that date, but it's there if there's no child prior to then.
In the meantime, I am soaking in my last moments with Micah and my "freedom" from the newborn regime about to take over our lives. I am walking a ton (walked 6 miles Monday, 3.25 today) thinking something has to work sometime, right? I know, baby will come when baby's ready, but whatever I can do to think I am helping is where I'm at.
Stay tuned for a baby post! It will be coming soon - I'm sure of it :) In the meantime, pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. As a reminder, I'm attempting to do a VBAC and so far everything is set up to be a success, as baby is head down, facing the right way, and the midwife told me he's in great position to make labor easier than harder. Trusting God for this little miracle about to bless our lives!
