Waiting

No baby so far. Last night at my 39 week appointment my midwife checked to see how things were progressing. Despite my best efforts, the discomfort was overwhelming and she wasn't able to get a good measure if I was dilated at all. She did, however, feel the head, which she said meant that the head was down, engaged, and that was all a good thing. Things are all ready at home for baby to arrive...Christmas presents are wrapped and under the tree, nursery is all settled & organized, house is clean, and the fridge and cupboards are stocked with the essentials. Joe is very anxious, I am very nervous, and Mac is very crazy. Mac is our terrier-chihuahua, and he is not used to having me at home all day long. He is now exercising his bark for no apparent reason at all; any outside noise at all is sending him into cahoots! Hopefully he adjusts better when the baby arrives.
