The Last Month

Often times, while image searching "last month of pregnancy" or "9 months pregnant" you find meme's that say "Each month has an average of 30-31 days... except the last month of pregnancy that has, 1453 days." And I can honestly say, before I got pregnant, as well as up until the last few weeks, I just believed it was an exaggeration, and people needed to just enjoy pregnancy! But now, being 38 weeks pregnant, I see what they really mean.
I'm due June 4th, and it really feels like as soon as May 4th hit, the month just drug on compared to the previous months, but not because I'm "miserable" and just want her out, but because I can't wait to hold my daughter in my arms, and kiss her forehead and just feel the bonding connection with her! We have 16 days left, and that could easily change to 1 day, and I could go into labor now or at any time really, or it could even change to 23 days and I may need to schedule my induction date. It's all up to her, and God's perfect timing! It really all depends.
They say castor oil, pedicures, walking, spicy food, and so many other outrageous myths, help induce your labor. But honestly that's all they really are, myths. Doctors really are the only ones who can start your labor, but really, why not be surprised with God's timing? I completely understand how nerve-racking it is, I would LOVE to know the exact date/time I will go into labor, as well as the exact moment I will have her, but really, let's be honest with ourselves, that's not possible. All you can do is pray for a safe labor and delivery, and pray whenever you feel stressed or frustrated.
But, most importantly, ENJOY being pregnant, because I don't know about you, but I will definitely miss it!
