37 weeks (and 1 day)

Well here we are at the point I was told it would be safe for Zachary to be born. I had been nervous since about week 34 that he would come early. Now I worry if he'll EVER come out!! The other day I started contracting really good....and then they went away--story of my life lately. Oh well, I know he'll come when he's ready. He's too much like me when I don't like to get out of a warm bed in the mornings.
It's getting more uncomfortable to walk--correction, waddle because he's down so low. The last time they checked I was still only a "generous 2, and 80% effaced".
The other day I went in for my bi-weekly NST and the Nurse Practitioner did her ultra sound check for the fluid levels. There was a lady training that actually did most of it. While they were scanning for fine movement the NP said, "Oh he's waving his little finger at us!" Right away I said, "please don't let it be his middle finger!" She laughed and said she didn't think so. I would have DIED if he was flipping someone off already.
My mom will be here the evening of the 10th. JC and I are so excited to have family here. I'm excited to have a 24 hour nurse in my home!! I feel bad taking her away from all her responsibilities at home but will forever be in her debt for all her help.
Lets all cross our fingers that the next post is with pictures of Zachary!!

You're getting there! Good luck with everything and that must be a HUGE relief to know you will have your mom there to help. Can't wait to meet (via blogging anyway) little Zachary!
