Today might be the day...

I have my doctor's appointment this afternoon, at 3:00, and I'll basically be finding out my fate and my daughter's probable birthday. They're going to check my cervix, as usual, and also do a fetal non-stress test to monitor her heart rate during her active moments and also during contractions. Apparently they do these tests as routine for women who have gone overdue, but my actual due date isn't until tomorrow. I guess we'll see what the doctor says and what he decides the next step should be. I'm sure it will be dependent on MANY things, so I really have no clue at this point. If I come home after the appointment, I will make an entry to fill everyone in. If you don't see another entry today, it means I'm at the hospital having a baby! I'm hoping for the latter, but as everyone knows, I very rarely get what I want.

Anyhoo, I'm just ready to be a mom and to have my little girl here. As nervous as I am about her actual birth, I know that women have babies every day and I'm sure that I'll be fine. I'm not expecting for this to be painless or easy, but being able to see my daughter for the first time is so very much worth the struggle. I'll just have to keep reminding myself of that every time I want to scream in pain, strangle Daniel, or throw things at my mom.

Well, I need to get my stuff ready before my appointment. Maybe I'll write again later, or maybe thenext time you hear from me will be after the birth of my daughter. Who knows, but either way, I'm excited! TTFN!
