39 Weeks (no baby yet!)

I'm 39 weeks pregnant today! Yohoo! I've been felling pretty good. Some days I feel like labor is coming and other days I'm like where are the contractions? I've been getting very strong braxton-hicks contractions every other night or so. I'm going to see a midwife tomorrow for a checkup. They all want labor to be a natural process. The midwives would like to wait for my body to go into labor. They wouldn't induce me until I'm 42 weeks.
I got a call yesterday from labor and delivery to prep me for my c-section today. I'm like, "what? that should have been canceled!" I guess they didn't hear that my baby flipped to head down. I've asked two nurses to cancel it for me. But oh well... I couldn't have had my baby today. I first day of fall.
My mom is in town for the birth. I'm very appreciative that she'll be here to help out with the baby and the house while I'm recovering. She knows a lot about babies and deliveries, so Jeremy and I will be in good hands.
