UPDATE!

We have progress! I had my 37 week appointment this morning and good news! I'm already dilated to a 2+ and 70% effaced. She said that he is measuring 5cm bigger than our last appointment (significant difference) so she hopes he'll come soon! She ordered a growth ultrasound for June 8th if he isn't here by then to see exactly how big he is (he's measuring about 40 now and I'm 37... so he's lookin big) and if he is ginormous like his daddy was then she wants to induce me so that I can actually deliver him! HAHA! AHHHH! It's getting so close! So all those irritating contractions I've been having for weeks are actually good for somethin! :)

The end is near... thank goodness

5 weeks left til Emmery's due date... we're praying he joins us a little sooner than that, but want him fully "cooked" :)
I have officially hit the "I'm so ready to be done being pregnant" phase. I can't quite explain the level of unattractiveness that my swollen finger, legs, feet and toes have reached. Its not pretty. My mom said something this morning that nailed it on the head... "I think it (pregnancy) was designed long enough for the baby to cook but just short enough before you contemplate murder." Ding ding ding! Everything is getting uncomfortable but I keep reminding myself that he is worth all of it!
I will try and post tonight pictures from our baby shower so you can see how spoiled our little guy is! :)
