Here I am at 10 days until Aria's due date, 3 centimeters dilated, 50% effaced, and no sign of imminent labor. I feel the same as I did a couple weeks ago. Our doctor said she would be surprised if I make it to my 39 week prenatal appointment, but I'm not so sure that Aria will be here before then. I almost wish my doctor didn't say that I might deliver early, because she got my hopes up and now the wait is killing me! Ever since my appointment on Friday I have been so anxious for labor to start. The wait is even harder now that I am on maternity leave from work, since I don't have non-baby distractions to keep my mind occupied. I know Aria will get here when she gets here, but I just want to meet her already!!!
For family reasons I'm also glad I haven't gone into labor yet. Uncle Shane won't be in San Jose until the 12th and Memere and Grandpa are ideally leaving for San Jose on the 15th. I know all three of them really want to be here the day Aria is born. Maybe Aria is just being considerate and holding out until her family can be here to celebrate!

She is so considerate to think of her family members before picking her birthday. :) It sounds like you're doing great- I can imagine the anxiousness of 'trying to delivery early' is killing you. But enjoy these last few days- get a foot rub and a nice movie to watch. Or just make Shaun do a lot of funny stuff to keep you entertained. Either way- I can't wait to see her and I am excited you two are so connected to have the ability to keep us all in the loop when it happens.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog post....babies are so unpredictable and I totally understand the waiting game feelings your going through. I agree with Jess about getting that foot rub. Keep up the blog I love feeling so close even though I am so far away! And Aria...we love you little one!
