38 weeks OR One week to go!

I have been getting text messages all day wondering if Baby Copelyn is on her way yet! haha! I hope people know something that I don't know! Tomorrow I am getting my membranes stripped! I am so excited! haha Never thought I would be excited to feel pain! This little girl and I are fighting each other for space AND at some points I think she may just push right through my stomach! We are ready to have her in our arms. I have tried everything to induce my labor! The only thing I haven't tried is castor oil and I refuse to result to that one. I walk daily, eat pineapple daily, drink red raspberry leaf tea daily, and a few other things & NOTHING is working! I guess sweet little girl will come when she wants to BUT if she doesn't come by February 7 we will be induced!! I feel like I have been saying the same thing OVER and OVER again! Sorry for that!

On the other hand I want to brag on my husband a bit! He is so wonderful to me & I feel so blessed to have him in my life. I think this daily but last night in particular as he crawled into bed with me at 7:30pm (he is a night owl & yes I was ready to go to sleep at 7:30) after cooking me dinner and cleaning all the dishes I thought to myself & then told him later how grateful I was for his love. Then as I got back from the gym this morning I had breakfast (I am talking eggs and toast) waiting for me on the stairs and he made the bed! He does little things like this a lot and I always say thank you but sometimes I wonder if he really knows how much I appreciate his love. So it got me thinking today....do you tell the one you love how much you appreciate him/her enough? Just a simple thank you or I love you will do the trick.
