40 Weeks
Well, I’m pretty much there. My due date is Friday and I had my doctor’s appointment yesterday. Everything’s still looking good although I may be keeping the baby too happy in there. 
I go back to the doctor (midwife, actually) next Wednesday which is 2 days before I become 41 weeks pregnant. I seriously hope I don’t make it to that appointment.
I am still 50% effaced, 1 centimeter dilated, and the head is not fully engaged. But I know he’s trying to get down there because sometimes he grinds into my pelvis and really gets my attention! I’ve been having Braxton Hicks contractions but nothing more. I’m grateful that we’re both doing fine and the midwife said that I’d go see them twice a week beginning in my 42nd week – so they’re not worried at all of me going that much past my due date. Again, I hope I never make it to 41 weeks but I’m just glad no one is panicking and mentioned the big “I” word or anything.
I really think, and based on statistics it would reasonable to predict, that I’ll go into labor sometime next week. So I can relax a while longer dreaming my crazy dreams (that’s a whole ‘nother blog post I’ll probably never write) and preparing a little more, if not just mentally and emotionally. I don’t mind hanging out a while longer and waiting for the perfect timing of the birth of our first baby. He’ll come when he and God know it’s time for him to.

I was 10 days ‘late’ with E. But, He came right on time. He was only 6 1/2 lbs! and you know, he needed all the time he had in there.
So, as they say here, bon courage!
and keep up the good waiting work, remember, you will have a baby in the next 2 ish weeks, so don’t fret my friend, your attitude is great!.
