Yesterday’s appointment went really well. My mom was able to
come with me, this is will be her first grandchild—it’s pretty exciting :) I’m
50% effaced now so things are moving forward. I haven’t had a single contraction
yet, not even a Braxton Hicks, I wish they would start. I’m very motivated to
have our baby.

There was an interesting suggestion at my appointment
yesterday, to become induced for the sake of my legs and joints. As you know,
if you’ve read my last few posts, I’ve been experiencing increased pain and mobility
issues. My OB has been very respectful of my delivery choices so I know that
she isn’t trying to pressure me into doing something that I would feel
uncomfortable with. It was just a suggestion to get me on the road to recovery
sooner. Matt and I have been very cautious not to seek unnecessary interventions,
but I decided to talk to him about it and we decided it was something to consider. My next appointment will be in a week and a half due to the holidays, I’ll
be 39.5 weeks. I’m really hoping our little Angel will come on his own before
then, so we don't have to face the chioce.

I’m so excited to become a mother! I don’t want anything
more than this. After 10 years of fearing it would be denied me, 2 years of preparing
and proving medically that I could do it, and 9 months of pregnancy, it’s about
to happen. Finally.
