40 Weeks and No End in Sight

My little Super Girl is taking her super sweet time.
 
This is my life lately. Hahaha
 
Soooo at my 39 week check up last week I had not progressed any closer to going into labor. I was still only slightly one centimeter dilated. My cervix, thick and stubborn. I have my 40 week appointment tomorrow and I hope something has changed! People keep telling me that they had not started dilating at all and then wham suddenly they went into labor. The not knowing when its going to happen is killing me. I've also started having dreams about going into labor. This morning I woke up pushing, yikes. So here I am just waiting for the pot to boil. But I guess its ok, the longer she takes the closer we are to warmer weather and spring. Plus, if she waits until the 21st she'll be an Aries like me :)

In the meantime, I've been getting our house in order......

Our pretty home in Ballwin. (Can't wait for everything to be green like this again!)
 
The day we moved in I was 4 months pregnant and hauling boxes like a champ.
 
Things are clean and organized around here and her nursery is finished. We have everything I can possibly think of that we need for our little bambino. My mom and I have become regulars at every store in STL that sells baby things. We have received so many wonderful gifts from family and friends. Being well equipped certainly makes me feel more prepared and in control.
 
Baby stuff, everything is so cute!
 
A family member generously gave us this used Peg Perego car seat and base, but then.....
 
This weekend John's parents gave us our travel system with stroller, car seat and car seat base! So happy we have a second car seat now.  
 
Here is a look at Baby Feager's room:
 
 
 
 
Hopefully she likes lavender.
 
Its all in the details....
 
I've had this mini set of Peter Rabbit books since I was a little girl, so excited to give them to MY little girl.
 
 
 
Tiny, little shoes. I could just die.
 
Our bedroom set up, bassinet on my side of the bed. We will also be bringing down the changing table and bringing in our rocker.
 

Between the bassinet, the crib, the bouncy seat, the swing, and the cradle rocker, we should be able to find something that will help her sleep soundly. Wishful thinking? It will probably be our arms and she will be a ticking time bomb waiting to go off at the slightest noise and movement. Hopefully she quickly gets used to the dogs barking. More wishful thinking.
 
Ok I guess that's it for now. I'm crossing my fingers that I get another good check up tomorrow. Now its about time to make John some dinner and then watch Walking Dead from last night. Its our favorite show and should be yours as well.
