Conflicted

I've told several people about this before, but I thought I'd blog about it this morning.  I'm conflicted on when I want our baby to come.  I have it in my head that she will be an October baby.  Michael and I planned when we were getting pregnant so that she would be born in the fall, hoping for October.  This plan worked out great and she's due right at the beginning of the month!  Woohooo!  But as we get closer to her due date, as I continue to get bigger, and she continues to put more pressure on my bladder and pelvis, as breathing becomes more of a struggle and heartburn gets unmanagable, I begin to wonder if I want to wait all the way until October.  I have my heart set on an October baby, because it is truly the best month of the entire year, but September wouldn't be so bad, would it???  No, it wouldn't.  Now, I know I have no control over this matter what-so-ever.  I am having a healthy pregnancy, which is amazing and a huge blessing.  There is no medical need for me to be induced, much less induced before my due date.  This is a great thing too, because our baby girl will have every opportunity to grow and be fully developed before she decides to arrive.  My doctor will not stop my labor from here on out if I were to go into labor.  He and I both believe that she will arrive when she's ready.  The only reason we would help her out and move her along is if she gets far past my due date (no more than a week).  So in the end, it will be her choice if she wants to be a September or an October baby.  ;)  This is fine with me, but I'm thinking, the earlier the better.  ;)  Not only am I anxious to meet my little girl, but she is fully developed and healthy, she would have no problems coming early, and I would have no problem being one baby lighter and being able to rest a little more comfortably.  ;)  We will just wait and see what she decides to do.  I am so very thankful for this little girl and all she's bringing to our lives.  What a blessing!  She has been such a great baby so far!  Can't wait to meet her!  :D
