Awaiting Micah's arrival


I am 38 weeks and 1 day pregnant! Micah is due to arrive in 12 days and I am ANXIOUS! We have painted his room and put the crown molding and chair rail up with the help of the McKinneys and now we wait... I am getting the braxton hicks contractions but they are sporadic and they do not hurt quite yet. (They don't feel good though lol.) Dr. Bland says that my cervix has soften a lot and I have dilated a dimple. He also says that if we don't deliver Micah by his due date on March 31st that I will have to be induced Easter weekend. Easter is on April 4th this year, so it isn't long after my due date. Both my mom and Rico's mom has next week off to help around the house after I give birth however I am scared that Micah won't arrive before then! I am just ANXIOUS! And I am tired. I have had a very good pregnancy. I didn't get sick and I have only gained 28 lbs since we found out that I was pregnant. My belly really looks like someone just stuck a basketball underneath my shirt. But now that Micah has dropped a little (he dropped last Tuesday, March 9), my lower back is now hurting and I feel HEAVY! We have been anticipating his arrival and each day seems to be longer and longer and longer. I really just want him to come.


But I am very blessed. I have a good husband who walks with me and reminds me that I don't look as horrible as I feel. My friends and family gave us great baby showers and Micah's walk-in closet is almost full. I am ready for his arrival.
