It's the Due Date.....Where's the Baby???

It's the little peanuts due date today!  It seems she doesn't understand she's supposed to make her appreance into the world and is nestled and comfy in my belly.  At my last doctor appointment I was 1 cm dilated and effacement was underway.  I won't lie....i've been a little frustrated.  I had my hopes on seeing her beautiful face earlier than her due date.  Now that I've come to the realization that she will come when she's ready I'm embracing these last few days and enjoying them with the hubby.  We're finishing our sweet indulgences that the baby is insisting I ingest and getting the house spic and span for her arrival.
The belly is big and undeniable.  It's definitely making it hard to sleep and get up from sitting down.  Other than that I've had pretty consistant back pain and daily braxton hicks contractions.  The hands and feet aren't as swollen any more and the heart burn is dying down.

Here's my 37.5 week belly:
