37 Weeks...the countdown is on

This is me, 37 weeks pregnant with our LAST baby.  We have already been blessed with four beautiful daughters and will soon be welcoming the 5th little girl into our family to complete daddy's 5 a-side girls soccer team! Three cheers for Dad!!!!

Here are some things about this pregnancy:

• 2nd best pregnancy for me (only beaten by Shannon's, but I was 22 then, not so young these days)
• I can get heartburn from anything....I mean anything - I think I get it from breathing
• I cannot eat pickles, peppers or cucumbers - chocolate is ok
• No water retention, despite it being summer (yay)
• I still hate under the bump maternity clothes
• Was most tired with this one for the first trimester
• 3rd trimester has been relatively easy
• I've measured small throughout the whole thing (never happened before - I always measure big, with Aylish I'm sure I measured enormous)
• Moving at 7 months isn't fun
• The whole pregnancy has felt shorter than previous ones, though when I count the months on the calendar they've all been the same length
• I've had great support from family and friends but have missed having mom around

Here are my predictions for what's to come:

• I will have a scheduled induction on a date that suits EVERYONE
• 1.5 hour labour from start to finish
• 1 good push and she'll glide out (she better glide - I'm sure Aylish made the path big enough for me to deliver a calf!)
• She'll be a picture of health
• She will have lots of beautiful red hair
• She will weigh 6lbs 11oz
• She will be 22 inches long
• My hair and makeup will stay in place throughout
• I will shower immediately following her birth and dress in pre-pregnancy jeans

Yep, that's how it will all go - just like I've planned.  I will block from my mind what we all know to be true...the pain.  My mom's doctor told her when she was expecting me that "it goes in easier than it comes out" - how true that is.

Wish me luck!

P.S.  Meals, flowers and gifts greatly welcomed!!! Hehehe!
