I am completely exhausted...that's all I can really say right now.  Being 40 weeks pregnant is tough on a woman especially when you have to continue your everyday life activities.  By the end of the day, my ankles and calves are swollen and so sore.  The only time I want my body parts to be sore is if its because of the gym and me exercising!  In this case, it's definitely not. 

I did manage to get by the hospital to see my friend Emmie who is an ultrasound tech there.  She scanned Brayleigh to make sure that all is well with her, and it was.  I feel a little better about carrying her this long because she's measuring 40 weeks today.  At least she's not completely matured and hopefully not in any danger so seeing that made me feel better.  I saw her sweet chubby cheeks and my heart melted.  I cannot wait to see her in person and I cannot wait to kiss those precious cheeks either!  The ultrasound showed her weighing 8lbs and 6oz as of today.  I have a feeling it may be a little off because I just don't see myself being that big.  I guess we'll see soon enough :) 

Our next appt is tomorrow morning at 9.  I am pretty positive that I will be sent back home and told to come back next week.  As long as the baby is not in stress, we can continue on this journey.  WHAT ABOUT ME THOUGH?  What about the stress that I feel and that I'm under??  ;)  All I can pray for is a safe and healthy delivery of the baby and myself. 

I heard seen alot of people's statuses lately saying they are praying for families...I will keep those families in my prayers as well.  A friend of mine lost a good friend of hers last night and my heart goes out to her family and friends.  I am all too familiar with losing loved ones and I can only pray that God keeps them close by during this time.  It's something we will never understand and actually are meant to not understand but he does have a plan for everyone.  If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it!
