How did we get to 39 weeks already!?

Hello everyone!
I know it has been way too long since we have posted a blog, I do apologize. Life sure does get busy quick and over the past several months we have been working on the nursery, going to our regularly scheduled doctor's visits, working on the nursery, going to church, working on the nursery and working on the nursery. Can you tell what we have been doing a lot of?? Well, the good news is the nursery is done! :) I will be the first to admit I stressed over this nursery for a long time. We kept running into problems and for every two steps forward we would take 4 steps back! We have been so blessed with wonderful friends and family that have come over many times to help us prepare. THANK YOU EVERYONE who has helped on the nursery, you know who you are, but also MANY THANKS to those that have supported up emotionally.
Now for the fun part. Every doctor's visit we have had so far has gone very well. My blood pressure is always good, usually stays around 120/60, kidney function is good, weight gain is good and the baby's growth is good. We have been so blessed to have such a healthy pregnancy. A couple of weeks ago we started seeing the doctor every week and that point in time he began to check me to see how my cervix is looking and for any dilation. This morning we had an appointment and I thought for sure I would be dilated. I have been having very uncomfortable pains (contractions, not so much. Baby getting into position causing mommy's pelvis a lot of pressure, BINGO!) and not to mention my due date is November 18, that is in 4 days! After the doctor checked me the news was the ususal, NOTHING. No dilation, no thinning of the cervix. There is some good news however, we have 2 tentative dates set up for induction. November the 20th or November the 24th will be B-DAY. There is some light at the end of the tunnel. We go back to the doctor on Monday for another check just to see how I'm looking and at that point we will let him know what date we want. It will be all down hill from there! :)
I look forward to giving the updated information on Monday so all of you can update your calendar's accordingly in hopes of meeting Savannah Claire Lobenstein! :)
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as this next week coming up is going to change our lives forever! :)
