Our little miracle is getting so big!

I went to the doctor today for my last monthly appointment. They did the regular 1-hour glucose test and I passed (they did the test earlier because of my ovarian disease, but this one is the one that makes certain you don't have gestational diabetes)! My sugar levels were good, along with my hemoglobin. They drew blood to test my thyroid function and hopefully it is good so that I don't have to increase my medicine again. There was no ultrasound, but he did use the Doppler thing to listen to the baby's heartbeat and it was healthy and good at 153 bpm! It was such a wonderful sound just listening to the swoosh-swoosh of the heartbeat in my stomach. I am always so happy when we go to the doctor. I just love hearing his heartbeat or seeing him twitch around inside me. It is almost as if right then and there it is just us and God; you can see God through this incredible miracle called a baby and you can hear God's voice in that tiny heartbeat saying how He creates miracles and how He has blessed us with this beautiful child. We are so blessed and thankful beyond words. All-in-all we are doing well... there are tons of aches and pains and annoyances but it is all (mostly) made better as I feel Logan kicking and punching and at times feels like he is pinching me 24/7. I absolutely love it! I decided today that I in fact do not want to be induced (unless we have to be) because I want to experience the going into labor/ rushing to the hospital part of pregnancy. I want God to decide when it is time for Logan to arrive, not me scheduling the event. The average first time delivery is 10 hours, so I am calculating that even with sitting in traffic an hour and a half to get to the hospital, we will still make it there on time... unless I go into labor at work, in which case I can get to the hospital in 5 minutes... sometime around the beginning of September, I am making a bag of clothes for William and I and will leave it in the trunk, along with installing the car seat... just in case he decides to come early, at least we will be somewhat prepared. Now, I start going to the doctor every two weeks! I am so excited... not only does that mean that we are getting close, it also means that I get to hear his heartbeat or see him more often. In no time, it will be once a week then twice a week visits! It seems so close, yet so far away!
