to quote my bro in law Ryan...."here's the thing"

haha...he says it all the time and we find it humorous.

So today's appointment was discouraging and I left in tears. I am impatient and I guess some would say unrealistic but come on already! I am still only 70% effaced and my cervix CLOSED! Yes Closed. It was a 1 last week. I'm glad to know at least one of us in comfortable in this 9 month stage but the kid just ain't budging! If I do not go into labor on my own by next week, the doc will induce labor Thursday night at about 11 pm. Good. Who needs sleep that last night right? I am scheduled for an ultra sound Monday afternoon and if there are any type of problems...amniotic fluid, umbilical cord not supplying enough blood...ya know...then they'll induce me on Monday. I am still praying that it will happen sooner than that and I won't have to go to more doctor appointments but obviously my plan just isn't taking place whatsoever. So...."there's the thing" or "now you know the rest of the story". Take care y'all and PLEASE OH PLEASE PRAY HE COMES ON HIS OWN THIS WEEKEND!

Ay Mi hija. I'm sorry. You'll be fine and things will work out as they are supposed to. Seriously. In the meantime be patient, enjoy your last few days with little responsibility! You have a huge life-changing experience about to come out of your body.
Also, if you have to wait until next Thursday...I'll be in town at 7:30 pm. So please be considerate of my limited time in AZ. ;) jk.

I'm glad you're doing better. After the appt when I talked to you, YIKES. You were fairly unhappy. "Here's the thing," :) you'll be fine and the baby will come soon enough. Just try to be patient. Easier said than done, I know. Love you.

"Here's the thing" with Abby I went to the dr a week before my due date. I was 0% effaced and not dialated AT ALL! My water broke that night and she was born the next morning. I'm just saying, you never know! I think Braxton's holding out for the 23rd. Dad must've made him promise before he left!

Poor girl I sypathize with you. I was never patient and I was over due with every baby except Jessica. She was kind to her mom and came 3 weeks early LOL. But he will be here before you know it...I know that's not comforting words right now. Especially when it's a hundrend degrees outside! RaLee was born on the 22nd and she is the best kid so maybe you'll get him on her 22nd birthday. I know I know tonight would make momma lot's happier. I will definitely keep you in our prayers for a happy, safe, fast, and an ASAP delivery.

It's Sunday evening and was thinking about you. Hope your weekend went well!
