38 weeks!

Had my doctors appointment this morning. Grampa came over and played with Evie while I was there! As I was leaving, Dad asked me if I normally sneak out or say good-bye. I definitely say good-bye; sneaking out isn't a good thing for Evie. So when I said good-bye, not a whine came out, just a "Bye bye" and a wave, and she continued to play with Dad like I was not even there! This is the girl that at 6 months would have had a heart attack if I even so much as left the room! Some mothers might feel crestfallen that their child could care less, but I think it's wonderful. Of course, if she wasn't excited when I came home, that would be a different story. haha.

So I am still 1.5 cm dilated, 0% effaced and he is still high as all get-out. I have been having Braxton Hicks (practice contractions) up the wazoo the last week. They don't hurt, per se, but they do take my breath away and I break out into a sweat. I actually look forward to the pain of real contractions. I would like to have a medicine-free delivery, and am anxious to see if I can pull it off. And even though I have one of the worst colds I've had in forever, I am SO ready to have this baby.
