39 weeks + 1 day~

Hey there, just a quick post to update you on baby Copley's progress/impending debut. I am 39 weeks and 1 day today and we had our 39 week appt. at 11:45 am this morning. Everything looks great, blood pressure, urine, weight, baby, etc. Baby is still in birthing position/head down....but despite LOTS of pressure and pushing on my cervix from her head, there is still not too much dialation. :( REALLY hoping that changes over the next few days.

Dr. Caskie went ahead and told us to schedule an induction date for next week if she didn't arrive by her due date (which is Tuesday July 7th). The first availability they had at the hospital was Wednesday July 8th at 1pm, so we took it.

I am still praying for a natural labor and that I will go into labor BEFORE the 8th. I am really stuck on July 4th, just bc I think that would be such a cool bday :) Whit is still betting on July 5th. But really any way that gets this little girl here safe and sound is FINE by me! So, looks like one way or another this little lady will be on her way in 1 week. REALLY can not wait to meet her. Having trouble coming up with projects and things to keep me busy during the day, bc I am so excited and anxious to meet this little girl.

So appreciate your continued prayers!

Much Love, Meredith and Whit
