Week 39 Update

Wednesday, 5/6, was my 39 week check up. I went from 1 cm dilated last week to 2.5 cm this week. Dr. Partridge said that she does not expect to see me again next week, but just in case Lila hasn't arrived yet she wants to see me on Monday instead of waiting til next Wednesday. I'm getting lots of helpful suggestions of what to do to go into labor from friends and family [i.e. - mow the yard! Thanks Nene! : ) ], but my body only seems to want to sleep these days. Something tells me I need to take advantage of all the R&R I can get!

I have officially finished reading the following books in the past few months:
What to Expect When You're Expecting
You're Pregnancy Week By Week
The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy
On Becoming BabyWise
...and I'm still working on The Baby Whisperer

I know that potentially none of these books could apply to our little angel, but it just makes me feel better to have some sort of idea of all the possibilities of what to expect.

There's nothing wrong with preparing yourself with knowledge. Then throw in some common sense, and you've got the recipe for successful parenting. You and Aaron are going to be wonderful parents.
