37 Weeks....Maybe the Final Week?

Well, I had the doctor appointment yesterday afternoon. I am making progress which is good. He set up the ultrasound and amnio for tomorrow at 10:30am. By the afternoon, the results will be back and will let him know if Annabelle's lungs are developed or not. If it is positive, we're going to have a baby on Saturday, December 13th! If not, then we have to wait.

Tammy & I have been working on the nursery this week to prepare for her arrival. It's not exactly what I want but it will do - it is just fine to bring a newborn into. I also put up the Christmas tree last night so she would have her first tree up when she comes home. And Tammy is working on the diaper bag for her. I still need to pack my, Jason's, and Annabelle's things for the hospital and also put together the swing for her, but I plan to do that tonight.

Jason is coming home tonight so he can be with me when I go in for the Amnio. The doctor told me that the only complication is that it can put me into labor - which is what I would want anyway. He doesn't want me to go into labor without him being in Parkersburg. And I really don't want to either - he would drive like a maniac on his way down here...Even worse than usual! LOL

Pray that her lungs are developed and we can deliver our Christmas miracle on Saturday. We're praying for an easy delivery, too! Send me lots of easy labor vibes! LOL
