Baby update 5/12

Still preg. YAY!!! Latest update has me progressing. 4 1/2cm and 80% effaced. Who really knows when this little girl will be here. History tells me that it won't be too much longer. I will be "full term" and 37 weeks on Saturday. I'm hoping to make it that far. At that point I won't have to worry about her lungs and general state of health. "Tinkerbell" was born at 37 weeks and she was a healthy 7 1/2 pounds.

I've always wanted to be the type of woman who "glowed" while preg. Who just be-boped through life and never had any issues with being PG. Well.... my body had other plans. I've always had pretty eventful pregnancies that I would rather forget. I LOVE the babies.... I just greatly dislike the process to "bake" them.

We are definately in the final weeks (poss. days). I'm excited and relieved to be at the end of the rainbow.

Right now.... I REALLY miss my mom. This is the first PG that I have not had her here. I didn't know how much I relied on her strength, humor, love etc... She's taking care of my dad who definately needs her far more than I do. Having her around always brought a peace and a strength that I desperately need at this time. We would stay up late working on wordsearch puzzles.... I would give her a perm and cut her hair... LOTS of giggling could be heard until all strange hours of the morning. She is such a neat woman. I have been truely blessed to have been her daughter. Sometimes I just need a hug from her. It's been nearly a year since we've seen each other. It's so hard being 600 miles apart.
