Any day now...

Saw the doctor today for my weekly appointment. She said I was a 1/2 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced and Parker could come any day now! She asked what we thought about a New Year's baby and we said we loved the idea - it's not like we have other plans! The best part would be our doctor is on-call, so she could potentially deliver our baby! Other fun facts: she estimated Parker was on the smaller side and still less than seven pounds (but still healthy) and that I have good pelvic bones. Jake and I both started laughing and said, "You mean big hips, right?" But doc said she meant her prediction would be an easier labor for me. I'll take that. Also, she said (but we already knew) Parker is extremely active. Usually babies start to slow down this late because they run out of room. Not Parker. He is all over the place. Our doctor had trouble listening to the heartbeat because he was wiggling around and making added static noise.

So, that's all I have. We're playing the waiting game... my sister left today and I finished up work stuff in the classroom this morning. Now I just need to wait. The anticipation is killing me!

No more belly pictures... I look the same as last time.
