2 weeks to go, or maybe not

I went back to the doctor last Friday to see how, or if, my body was preparing for labor. My doctor informed me that Rilynn has dropped and everything is moving right along, but I have only dialated to 1cm. Really that doesn't mean very much, just that things could move quickly and I could deliver any day, or that things could move slowly and I could deliver late. However, my doctor is entertaining the idea of inducing me at 39 weeks. Yes, that means next week!!! And now it all really hit me!!! I could be a mom any day now! I am not sure if that scares anyone else, but it sure does me! It hasn't all seemed real until now. I guess I am about as ready as I am going to be though. I am really looking forward to holding my new baby girl!

Well that is really the only update I have for this week. I go back to the doctor this Friday to see if I have progressed any further. I will post again next week to let you all know how things are going. For now, below is a picture of what I look like at just under 38 weeks. I took the picture myself since Matt has been out of town so sorry for the poor quality. And of course, Laidan had to get in there with me. She is really looking forward to meeting her new little sister! :)
