"Waitin' on a Woman"

More like a precious baby girl but Charlie really likes that new Brad Paisley song, and I thought it was appropriate because that's how I feel right now. We are just waiting for something to happen. It is the wierdest feeling to know you are about to go through one of the most significant events in your life and not have any idea when it's going to happen. I guess that's part of the excitement!
We had another dr. appt. yesterday, and there wasn't much progression from last week. Last Thursday, I was 80% effaced, no dilation, and this week my Dr. said I am 80-90% effaced and still no dilation. She doesn't think Callie has dropped yet either. I think she may have moved down a little because my trips to the ladies' room have become more frequent, but I don't think she's dropped much either.
Overall, I'm feeling really good and have not reached the "miserable" state that a lot of moms say they are in at the end. I am just enjoying the time that Charlie and I have to spend together before our lives turn upside down (in an amazing way!). Tonight we are going on what will probably be our last date before Callie arrives, and tomorrow my mom will get here so then we'll really start all those "naturally inducing" methods. My next blog will probably be to announce the birth of Callie Dianne!!!
We are going to try to shoot out an email or text when I go into labor because I know a lot of you want to know, and we would greatly appreciate prayers that everything goes smoothly with the delivery.
We can't wait to meet our baby girl!!!!

I can't tell you how many "last dates" Travis and I had while we were waiting on Tyler to arrive! Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for Callie to make her appearance. Can't wait to meet her!
