Any day now... or, next Tuesday for sure!

Here I am at almost 39 weeks of pregnancy! I'm so happy to have made it this far, especially after having little tiny preemies in the past. I had an appointment yesterday and my Doctor thinks the baby is about 7-7.5 lbs now, and basically my body has progressed as far as it can before going into actual labor. So it could be any day now. Jim and I expressed our concern at how fast my babies come once I actually go into labor (Madi was 45 minutes, Aspen was less than 2 hours, James Michael was about 6 hours... this next one could be 5 minutes!!), and we told him about how Madi was dreadfully close to being born in the car on the way down the canyon, and he suggested we have an induction. So the date is set for next Tuesday the 13th, if the baby doesn't come before then. We're probably going to stay down at our house in Orem on Monday night to be closer to the hospital because they could call us to come in anytime after midnight. Yaay!

I've been so big, sore, and uncomfortable these past few weeks, it's very exciting to know that this baby will be here soon. We will be having him at UVRMC in Provo. Now, if we could only decide on a name...
