37 weeks

I have officially crossed over from pre-term to full term! Yay me! Well Ava must have had second thoughts about showing herself to the world because we made our appointment today. I have been feeling some contractions so I was hoping labor was progressing. I am now 4 cm dilated but the doctor said he didn't want to admit me to the hospital just yet. So now I really have to pay attention to my body because having a home birth does not appeal to me. So it could literally be any minute now, but I'm not holding my breath because I've been told that for a month now. We have an appointment on Monday and if I make it to that appointment the doctor will talk to us about induction. So the waiting game continues.

I'm really happy to have made it to 37 weeks though. It's a relief to know she is stronger and was able to gain some weight. Now I just to see her and hold her in my arms! So, dear Ava, you have my permission and your daddy's permission to enter the world so we may spoil and love you for the rest of our lives.
