Looking forward to: meeting Mister

How are you feeling? Did I think I would make it this long? No.  I'm very happy to have a full term Mister, but ready to get him out so I can heal up.  I don't enjoy taking so much medicine with him in me but it's the only way I can make it through the day.  The dr tells me it's perfectly fine to be taking it all, but I don't like it.  

Next Appointment: October 16--I'm hoping to not make it there...but I'm sure we will....

Chad's amusement of this week: I think he's ready for Mister to be here so he doesn't have to worry about ME so much...  He really didn't say much this week that amused him....

Here's the weekly picture

This is my last pregnancy update before Mister arrives.  We are set to be induced on Thursday if Mister hasn't shown up on his own before then.  Am I nervous for this...yes.  Can I handle it? yes.  We are definitely hoping he comes on his own, it would be much easier and more fun for him to pick his birthday and not have one set for him.
