Still here...

Yes...I am still pregnant. My due date came & went on Sunday but this little girl is snuggled up still. I swear, I must have the most comfortable uterus ever. This morning was my last doctor's appointment. They did an ultrasound to check things out and make sure she's still good to go in there (she is) and even the tech said she was curled up, almost on her side and seems quite content. That was not exactly the news I was hoping for. I was hoping I would go in and they would say, "Wow...how did you not notice that you're in active labor? You should just walk on over to Rex right now." Yeah yeah...I knew it was a long shot. But I was at least hoping they would tell me I had made some sort of progress since last week! But I have not. I'm about 1 cm dilated and that's about it. The doctor said there's nothing they can do to help me out because of my previous c-section and she wasn't super encouraging that she thought anything would happen before my scheduled c-section on Tuesday. So that has me pretty bummed. I know that I am ridiculously upset about my looming c-section. Troy keeps pointing out that lots of women opt for c-sections and say it's so much better the second time. But I am very bitter about it and wonder if I'll even be happy on Tuesday when they're prepping me for surgery that I will get to meet this baby or if I'll be so upset at another major surgery that I won't even be excited until it's all over and done with. Yes...I realize I'm sulking. I'm honestly trying to focus on the fact that she seems perfect and healthy and that she will be here one way or another in less than a week. I wish she would just come already and put me out of my misery! So keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer for me. Hey, there's a full moon tomorrow so anything could happen!

Let me at least end on a high note...here is a picture of me from this morning so you can see that I am certainly ripe!!
