Week 39 & 40

Weeks 39 and 40 were a little rough. I was so ready to have Adilyn here and was getting more and more uncomfortable. When the due date passed, I started having more anxiety about the possibility of induction, which was the last thing I wanted. We wanted her here so bad; we tried every method we knew multiple times to get her moving along with no success. Even though I knew that in all reality, I would not stay pregnant forever, it sure felt like I would!! Each time Mark told Adie to stay in my stomach and hang out until she was good and ready, I didn't handle it so well :)




We obviously had made no plans for my due date, so when the day came without and real progress going on, we had nothing to do but sit and dwell on the fact that she still wasn't here. To pass some time, we took advantage of the snow storm we got and I was determined to help shovel the driveway in hopes that manual labor would start active labor! After shoveling, we decided to make a snowman and learned very quickly that we are both slightly out of practice in this area. We apparently were trying too hard and he came out looking a little frightening and all the snowmen in our neighborhood were WAY better. Oh well...it was fun!!
