Impending Arrival

So Tuesday I went to the doctor for my 38 week visit. All is well so far. Baby has a strong heartbeat and is generally behaving himself - despite occasionally pounding on something painful in my pelvic area or just gneerally sitting fairly low. But I guess I can't blame him for that. :-) However, during the appointment today, the doctor and I discussed what would happen if he doesn't come by my due date - June 11th. Basically, we settled on June 14th as the day I would go in if he has not decided to make an appearance yet. I am fine with this. I have started to have moments where I have thought - yeah, having the baby out is not such a bad thing. So I would imagine that in 2 weeks time, I will really feel that way. But, it is a strange thought to know that, come hook or by crook, Dan and I will be parents in the "real" sense of the word within the next two weeks. It puts a finite time period on it. It is a very exciting feeling. But also a strange one to know that our lives will completely change one way or another within the timeframe of 2 weeks. I don't think that we are going to have to wait that long. I get the feeling he will come sooner. But , you never know. So we will just have to wait and see what life has in store. But it makes one feel weepily happy about the whole thing. :-)
