40 weeks tomorrow!

So my due date is tomorrow. I cannot believe this day is actually here. Of course babies come when they want and we wouldn't induce until 41 weeks. She estimates baby to be 8 lbs or so, maybe a little less. I'm 2cm, 50% effaced and she swept the membranes (which HURT!!!!!!!!). Didn't hurt with previous sweeps but each pregnancy is different.

Hoping she comes on her due date, otherwise we'll do an amniotomy a week from her due date.

I put more details on my blog if any of you read it there, too. I'm too tired to go into all of it again and I need to get off here and get BUSY!!! *wink, wink* I'll definitely be relaxing tonight, watching Heroes, but for now I want to get some last minute things done... just in case!

My other girls came 2 days before their due dates; within 24 hours of having a membrane sweep done. That's why I requested it this time. I already feel like I did before I had them. Definitely going to be doing the BD tonight.
