Atomic Time Bomb!

So here I am 371/2 weeks.  I can't believe its almost time for baby girls arrival.  There's so many emotions going around in my head, as well as, husbands.  I think, Jong, had it right.  He said to me the other night, "You know, I feel anxious, happy, excited, nervous, overwhelmed, overjoyed, all the the same time!"  I then looked at him and said, "Thats how us woman feel a lot of the time."  But he's right.  Right now there are just so many emotions flying around I don't know quite what to do with all theses thoughts and feelings.

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and it went great.  I found out that I am 4cm dilated! (holy moly)  When she told me this, I looked at her and asked, "isn't that considered active labor?"  her response, "Yes, if you were contracting..."  Well I'm not, and to be quite honest I really haven't felt anything.  Weird?  I have had a little back pain, and during the night I may have had some cramping; but I honestly can't remember if it was a dream or reality.  My doctor said it was probably real, I just wasn't fully awake to know.  She also told me that she felt a bulge in my "sac" and was pretty sure that I'd be one of those women that their water burst and goes everywhere. (I thought, great if this happens at work who gets to clean it up?) But at least I'd have a clear sign of  "It's time to go to the hospital!" She was very hopeful that baby girl was coming soon!  She told me to get all my ducks in a row and keep my bags with me at  ALL TIMES!

Well of course this gets me excited and even more nervous.  And all day I felt as if I was waiting for something to happen.  I had cramping all day after my appointment, but it was manageable, so I knew it was nothing to be concerned about.  But I just kept waiting and waiting...And here it is the next day and I'm still waiting.  (I would just like to say that I have NO patience, not really ever have I had patience- I would like to  thank my dad for that)  And all I have to do now is have some P.A.T.I.E.N.C.E.

So here I am ready to blow and just tick tocking away....(That's what Jong calls me anyway, Kendall, the atomic time bomb.)  He's more nervous about me freaking out on him and that makes him ready for baby girl to be here too!  So I guess we will see, today, tomorrow, two weeks from now...Baby girl we are ready to meet you!

Here's a picture of my baby bump at 371/2 weeks!
