39 Weeks... yep, still pregnant :)

We're officially one week away from Benjamin's due date. We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. Our little guy's heartbeat is going strong at 140 bpm and he's still in the optimal position for delivery (head allll the way down there).
We also found out that I'm 95% effaced! but only 1 cm dilated... she again told me that he could come any day. She suggested that I bounce on an exercise ball (which Brad promptly ran out and purchased right after the appointment) - check!
She also suggested that I start taking Evening Primrose Oil - check!

So, I feel like I've done everything I can... now I'm leaving it up to God. I've prayed that he will make me less anxious and start focusing on relaxing during these "final" days. I know that God has a plan and need to be confident in that fact. The waiting is just so hard! :)

Below is a link to the rest of our 9 Month Pregnancy photo shoot. Our photographer, Seth, did an amazing job putting the pictures in a slide show format. Enjoy!
