So it’s the final countdown…  We had the appointment today, and everything looks ok for today.  The baby is very, very low (4 cm lower than the low last week) and the cervical changes are still kickin.  I have to have a biophysical profile to check on the health of the  baby/me on Monday if I haven’t labored by then, so I am officially desperate for labor this weekend.  Tomorrow my mom comes to hang out and help pick up the big kid from kindergarten.  This makes tomorrow a favorable day for labor, as well as anytime before Monday.

I’m sweating this.  I really want to go on my own, I really want this experience to fall within the design intended for my body, and I know I am beautifully made to deliver this baby.  I don’t really want an intervention at all.  So, put in a good word for us that we will deliver our baby the way we are supposed to and that we will make it to the hospital in time.

Here’s what I look like.  Still holding at 17 lbs.
