We made it to full term!!  Even if Dad isn't here yet, at least she's healthy and ready!  I'm so relieved that despite anything else, she made it full term and she's perfect.

She's definitely hanging to the right!

Stretching these to the max!

We're both resting this week!

Coach potatoes! 

I took it pretty easy this week with exercising.  I really didn't want to trigger anything while my husband is only days away from arriving.  I did have another midwife check-up at the end of the week and good news my amniotic fluid decreased slightly, so at least it's not on an upward trend!  That was a huge relief.  As for progress I'm still dilated 2cm, 80% effaced.  She is estimated now to be 7lbs 12 oz, healthy little girl for sure!  I also got a doctor's note for home rest from now on!

Earlier this week I for sure thought my water had broke, so I called Kit and he started looking at flights!  I went into L&D, got tested for amniotic fluid and thankfully it was negative!  Whew for sure scared me a bit!  My husband wasn't scared, but so incredibly excited!  I kept getting texts like, "We could be meeting our daughter within 24 hours!" I absolutely love hearing him so excited, but I can for sure wait a couple more weeks.  I'm in no rush!

Third trip to the hospital!

My post hospital treat!

On Saturday, 9 May our sweet boy turned 6 years old!  I know tons of families really forget their pets after they have kids, but we won't be that family.  Zeus will always be our first baby, and we can't wait to see these two together.  Happy Birthday Zeus!!

6 Years Young!

Birthday consisted of bacon for breakfast, dog park time, bath and a frosty paws treat!

Also my amazing husband finished ALL his finals this week!  Our daughter let him at least square things away in Oklahoma before making her arrival.  We're so relieved, and I'm so proud of my husband.  I have no idea how he stayed concentrated for two weeks during such a stressful time.  We find out his grades on our due date.  How cool is that?

Done with finals selfie!  (upon my request of course)

This week was the slowest by far of my entire pregnancy.  I know it's because I'm days away from having my husband come live with me again, why wouldn't I be anxious!?  It's been a long 9 months since we've lived together, and I'm BEYOND ready for the next three months of waking up beside my handsome best friend again.  I'm starting to feel like a walking ticking time bomb though.  We just never know when the moment will happen!  Truth be told it's scary, but really exciting not knowing exactly when she will deem herself ready to become earth side!  I'd like her to give us at least a few days for Dad to settle in and of course get one more date night down in the books!
