Update of Sorts and Cupcakes

So I wanted to give an update of sorts on Colton's arrival. I am still here and still pregnant! Ugh!!! I am beyond ready to have this baby and really praying he makes his debut very soon!

I had my 39 week appointment on Friday and my doctor said I am 1 to 2 cm dilated and she "stirred things up". She said he is still pretty high but that is normal for a second pregnancy. Usually with your second they don't drop til right before labor.

I had lots of cramps yesterday and mild contractions. I thought things would move faster but unfortunately I'm still just having mild contractions. I know it will be real labor when they start getting more intense and closer together! I know it's in God's timing and Colton will come when he's ready but I honestly don't want to hear that right now! I want this baby to come NOW!!!! I am SO anxious to see what he looks like and finally meet him! Until then we will keep waiting and praying! =)

And since I'm talking about labor I thought I would share the "labor-inducing" lemon drop cupcake recipe! The cupcakes are really good and I will definitely be making them again! So yummy!
