38 week appointment

So I had my 38 week appt (I will be 38 weeks tomorrow so we will just round up today) and my midwife checked my cervix to see how things were progressing. My cervix has softened but no dialation going on yet. I can't complain though because she didn't even think anything would have really been going on yet since this is my first pregnancy. I was also very excited to learn that he is still head down so hopefully he stays that way. I am so ready to have him here but I really want him to come on his own, meaning I want to avoid being induced at all costs. BUT don't get me wrong if I am over my due date I don't think I would turn it down=) My midwife thinks he will come right around his due date so we will see. Only 14 days left I keep telling myself it's only two weeks that is nothing! I also have my mother coming the weekend of the 19th so that gives me something to look forward to. I can't imagine her not being here for this, she has ALWAYS been there for me and I know with her and Michael by my side things will go much better=) She wants to play it safe and come a few days before my due date. She is going to stay for a couple of weeks after Parker is born to help out, a true blessing. We are hoping Parker decides to come while my Dad is here the weekend of the 19th. We have a whole list of people that can't wait to meet him it is a wonderful feeling! Well I will update you again after my next appointment on the 15th.
