38 weeks and waiting

Dinah has been very funny these past two weeks. She harldy ever leaves my side. When I am in the bath room she is right outside the door, when I am taking a nap she is right next to me snuggled up right by my side, when Matt comes around she growls at him and won't let him near me. I think she knows something.
I am 38 weeks now and one centimeter dialated. No big deal right? Wrong! It is driving me crazy! Every morning I wake up thinking is today the day? Is that funny feeling in my lower belly, it? Is the fact that everything I eat goes right through me a sign? The baby has dropped and some times I feel like I could go out and run a marathon and other times I feel like the marathon is over and I need a hot bath, a back rub and I could sleep for days. I also could eat a pint a ice cream, then wash it down with left over baby shower cake! It is crazy the way I am feeling these days!
I am really excited to meet this little guy. We have had 4 baby showers! Count them FOUR! The last one the kids at school threw for me and I was so suprised and impressed that they did not give it away! We have so many baby outfits that I can't wait for our baby to wear. I know this is not going to be easy but I really feel ready to jump in and get into it. I've been standing on the edge of the diving board for 9 months now, I am ready to jump in.

We will let you all when the big day comes, it could be in two weeks, two days, or even two hours, so for now we all get to wait. The waiting game has begun.
