December 10th-37 weeks 5 days-One week to go!

I'll probably be updating this post later but I'm up now at 6am so I thought I would write since watching the season finale of Top Chef doesn't even seems to take my mind off our baby!!   We have an internal exam today at 11 and I think both John and I are a little anxious this time.  For the first time this entire pregnancy John is getting a little nervous with her coming so soon.  I woke up this morning to find him sleeping on the couch...quite a turn of events lol!  The best thing for us is to not worry about it...we need to get in all the sleep we can!  The good thing is that we literally have at least one of everything we need and we both will have every minute of everyday (for the first couple weeks of her life) to be devoted to making this work.  I wonder how we'll ever come up with a schedule that works...hopefully it includes 20 minutes of me time to do my hair and make up everyday but for some reason I think that won't make it to the top of the list lol...we'll see soon enough!

So we just got back from Dr Katz's office and we're going in on Sunday night and having her the 14th!  She said I am 2 cm dialated and 80% effaced and that the chance of even having to use pitocin is low.  I'm really excited but nervous all at the same time.  I just want Ava to come into the world a healthy baby...I don't even care how much pain I go through if I can see a healthy baby girl at the end of it all.
