2 Centimeters-8 to Go:)
Well, I went back to the doctor today and everything looks great! I am 2 centimeters dialated, my cervix is really soft(the doctor said), and the baby's head is down where it should be. She couldn't believe how far I had come since last week! So, next week we will be able to schedule an induction if I am still moving strong. My induction would probably be scheduled for the following week...YIKES. My mom booked her flight out here today, and my inlaws will hopefully be coming this way, soon! I cannot believe it is actually almost time to have this baby! It seems like yesterday I found out I was pregnant. So, I have my next appointment next Wednesday, and I will let you know what the plan is as soon as I hear.
I have gained about 26 pounds, my feet are starting to show signs of swelling by the end of the day, and the baby has slowed its movements...
Everything is ready for this little one to be here. Me and Weston are starting to get a little nervous and somewhat scared about having a little one and being parents. (In a good way, of course) It is just an overwhelming sense of responsibility-and it really is. But, on the other hand we can't wait. I think Weston was a little dissapointed today becasue he wants the baby to come now:) But before he knows it, this baby will be here.
We will keep you posted on anything that comes up. And when the time comes, I will make sure we let everyone know somehow!!!
Love you all, and thanks for reading along with us!
Wes, Rach, and soon to be Baby

1 Centimeter down, 9 to go:)
I had my first of my weekly checkups today. I am almost 37 weeks pregnant and moving right along. Weston was able to come with me today so that was really great! He is so excited. He keeps asking me everyday when the baby will come. All in good timing, my love:)
Anyways, I am doing great. I am 1 centimeter dialated, my cervix is softening, and the baby's head is down!!! This is very exciting, but doesn't necessarily mean anything. I could still have a ways to go, so we will see! They are going to approach a scheduled induction next week or the week after-solely for the purpose of our families getting out here. Otherwise, the baby will come when he/she wants to. I really want my mom here, and I know weston wants his parents here, so if that is God's plan, then it will work out!
I am a little more uncomfortable maneuvering, but I am strolling a watermelon around. This little baby is sweet, sweet, sweet-not that I am biased:) I feel a little crampy here and there and the baby has noticeably dropped. My doctor appointment next week will be interesting. We will see if anything has changed.
Overall I still feel great. Pray for the safe and prompt arrival of our families when the time comes, and I will let you know every detail I can!!!
This baby will be here before we know it!
Much Love
Rachel and Weston
