We had another checkup today, one I didn't expect to have since I thought he'd be born by now! A non-stress test was performed which measured Baby's heart rate in response to his movements. He's certainly still moving around enough and passed with flying colors so there's no need for any intervention at this point to jump start labor.

Everything is looking very favorable for labor to start at any moment. An ultrasound appointment was made for next Wednesday, but my midwife doesn't think I'll make it that long. He would be exactly one week late by then.

Unfortunately, Baby is getting on my nerves now - literally and not figuratively! He keeps pushing against a nerve that makes a muscle in my thigh want to cramp up. It always coincides with his movement and is quite annoying, though not nearly as bad as a back nerve would be! Mom keeps joking that it's "leg labor."

Baby's Aunt Kristen is here now so it's definitely time for Baby to make his arrival. Everyone who is coming to see him is now here, so it's showtime! It's great because in all my visualizations, some included Mom visiting the hospital but I never pictured Kristen there. I always figured he'd be born by the time she arrived. Now, everyone will be here and we'll have a big party! :)
