38 Weeks...

This picture is at 38 weeks, 6 days. It was right before bed so it's a no make-up picture! :)

We are at 38 Weeks, 6 days!! Tomorrow we are one week away from Walker's due date. I can't believe we're so close to meeting our sweet little guy!! We went back to the doctor this week and I haven't dilated at all. He also said I haven't dropped completely either. So basically...nothing is going on!! :) Apparently Walker is quite comfy where he is for the moment. However, my blood pressure was a little high so he had me take Thursday & Friday off from work to just relax, so my maternity leave started two days earlier than expected. It was nice to have those few days at home to get things done. And this week Jon & I are both off for Spring Break so I'm looking forward to having Jon at home!! Since my blood pressure was a little high the doctor wanted to see me again on Tuesday of this week to check it and he'll have me come twice a week from now on, since we're so close. And he's also doing another ultrasound so we're excited to get another look at Walker.
Overall, I'm feeling great for being 38 weeks pregnant! I really was expecting to feel miserable at this point but I really don't so I'm very thankful for that! Walker continues to be as active as ever and his kicks and squirms are getting stronger every day. We are just so anxious these days just wondering when he'll decide to make his appearance. We go to bed every night now wondering if tonight will be the night. But he may very well decide to come in the middle of the day too...you never know! We just can't wait to meet him...we've waited 9 whole months and now the days just seem to be creeping by. But I know the longer he stays in there, the better for him and that's the most important thing!! Please continue to pray for us in these last few days/weeks. My doctor did say that if my blood pressure was higher on Tuesday he might consider inducing me that day so we'll see what the day holds!!
