39 weeks

Well, I'm due next week. I had a check-up on Monday, and the doctor said I was already half a centimetre dilated. In other words, the baby can come anytime now. Our parents are anxiously waiting for the phone call to hear that we're on our way to the hospital. I'm not sure yet who will be watching Sarah when the time comes, it will depend on the time of the day and which hospital we end up going to. I really hope we'll have enough time to make it to Grand River Hospital in Kitchener, that way, I should be able to have my own doctor deliver the baby. I feel totally comfortable with his knowledge and competency. He did a fantastic job delivering Sarah, and I know that this baby would be in good hands with him too.
Sarah got her 15-month immunization shots today. She hasn't been sick too often, so we've only gone to the doctor's office for shots in the past. Surprisingly, she's not scared to go there. She had fun running around and checking things out. And when she got the needle, she didn't make a sound. She was as happy when we left as when we got there, you'd never know that she'd just got poked. She's so much tougher than most kids. That's my girl!
Her appetite has greatly increased in the last week or so. I've doubled the amount of Cheerios she gets for breakfast, but she empties her plate every morning without fussing. Then for lunch she had scrambled eggs with black forest ham. Yummy! She did a great job using a fork. More food ended up in her mouth than on the floor. That's progress!
