Happy October 1st! Today is Addison's due date, but there are no signs that she's ready to meet us. We went to the doctor on Monday and he said I am still 1 cm dilated, 60% effaced, my cervix is beginning to tilt, but her head is still up pretty high. He said if he induced now, it wouldn't be successful (would result in a Csection) because her head is still high. So, yesterday we went to the hospital for our weekly testing, and everything still looks great! She's still swimming in lots of amniotic fluid and her heart rate is great. I even had 1 contraction while I was hooked up to the monitors. Maybe my sporadic contractions will help move her down. I will go back to the Dr. tomorrow to see if there has been any progress. Then maybe he'll give me a better idea of what the plan is, but maybe not. His nurse said he usually doesn't let his patients go more than 1 week past their due date, but who knows. Knowing my luck- I'll be the exception and he'll let me go 2 weeks past! ha! Dr. Hoertz and the hospital nurses have said she's doing great- very healthy and obviously happy in there, so I guess we shouldn't worry... as long as she doesn't grow to 9 pounds! YIKES!! Here are some pictures we took over the weekend. I'm definitely feeling as big as a house! Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts... soon we'll be able to post some pictures of our baby girl!!
Aaron and I went on a "date night" on Friday thinking it might be our last for a while. We keep thinking it'll be our last weekend as just the 2 of us, but that never seems to happen! Took these at my Mom and Dad's house on Saturday.

I know it has been a long journey for you and Aaron but Addison will be in your arms very soon :) Get plenty of rest in the coming days and take a few minutes for yourself.
We love you guys and can’t wait to hear the good word!
God Bless,
Jamie & Lee
