Two more weeks...will I make it?

Two weeks from today Oliver will be with us (on the outside)! The doctors say that everything looks basically the same, which is good. He's about 5 and a half pounds, which means he will be about 6 and a half when he is born. Sooo much smaller than Mackensie, who I had to push out on my own. His swelling isn't too bad, and the chiari malformation isn't completely present. We don't even ask what the updates and new numbers mean anymore, because the doctors always say "We can't tell you anything for sure until he gets here."



But I think that he might be as eager as I am for his birthday. I had a lot of contractions last night, only ten minutes apart. I never went into labor on my own with Mac; never even had contractions with Mac until after they induced. So I don't really know what it feels like to go into labor. Somehow I knew it wasn't IT last night but 10 minutes apart for 2 hours is pretty serious. I do not want to go into labor in NJ when I have to make it all the way down Philly!

Everything's almost ready for him. I think that I'm ready for him (but it depends on when you ask). Please just pray that he waits until it is time.
