Ready to Meet You

As I sit here writing this, we are beyond ready to meet this precious little baby. I don't remember being as impatient when we were overdue and waiting for Miss Helaina to arrive. Maybe it's because this is our second and that in itself changes the whole dynamic of the situation, or maybe it's because I stopped working about 10 days ago and my mind has much more time to think about the upcoming events. Either way, Baby Freij if you're listening, feel free to enter this world any moment now!

So today was my final doctor appointment. To my surprise, I haven't changed at all in the last week. They did the non-stress test with fetal heart rate monitoring and thankfully, baby is still doing well. During the test, I was having contractions about every 5 minutes, but none of them painful, and they soon subsided. Doctor was hoping to see the baby's head engaged in my pelvis more than it was today, so he elected to postpone induction till Monday morning at 6:30 am. For those of you following our blog, it's safe to say that Baby Freij will be with us no later than Monday, April 18th. Thank you for all your kind words and prayers!
