Don't come out until Daddy comes home....

Do we all know the tune to the primary song "I'm so glad when daddy comes home, glad as I can be." Well that's the tune Ben has been using every night when he sings to little Oliver, "Don't come out until Daddy comes home." Ben left for his final trip before the baby comes yesterday. And guess what, I went full term today. He isn't scheduled to come back until anywhere from the 13th-15th. I'm not really too worried about it since most babies do come late when it's your first. But, since I'm expecting him to come late does that mean he's going to come early? I sure hope not. Ben gave me about 40 numbers I can call in case something does happen and they'll take care of me and make sure Ben gets called. Also, there's a few people from church that are aware of the situation that I can call as well. So here goes...pray for us that this little one will wait. My next doctor's appt is on the 14th and that's when I'll get checked to see if my body is progressing at all. As for right now they say he's already starting to drop. The head's pretty low. The midwife says he's probably going to be a small little guy at 6 or 7 lbs and healthy as ever. Today I'm starting to get the baby's and my hospital bag ready and start washing all his bedding and clothes. As for me I'm still feeling really good. My backaches have disappeared for some reason. I feel like I've been given a sleeping pill these last couple weeks. I get tired very easily. Last week Ben and I toured labor and delivery and it freaked us both out a little but it also helped us feel more prepared. I'll try to keep everyone updated more frequently now that it's so close and next time I'll put up some pictures.

We will pray for that. Can't wait... on second thought, I can wait until about the 16th to see the little man!

Um this is crazy that 9 months went by so freaking fast. I will for sure keep you in our prayers. No baby before Ben gets back!!!
