feeling impatient

as the new year approaches, so does our new baby! i'm ready to pop this little guy out and show him just how much his mommy and daddy and big sister love him. i went to the doctor a couple days ago when i was at 35 1/2 weeks, and he said i'm 1 cm dilated and he thinks the baby is about 6 lbs. so i'm close. but not that close. so it begins, we are implementing "operation i'm impatient so i'm going to start doing things to induce labor". except for caster-oil. that i will not try. we'll see if anything works for us this time around. with our daughter...we had no such luck. so, we will just have to wait and see. i'm praying that God wants little Jacob to make his appearance in the next couple weeks rather than make mommy wait until the end of January. but, if i have to...he's worth the wait.
