'Twas the night before...

I have no creativity in which to make a neat little rhyme, but it is the night before!

Tomorrow at 430am we have to call the hospital. If all is still clear (you know like not every pregnant woman in the city showed up at the hospital in the middle of the night to deliver) we have to be in by 530am.

Chris and I are both anxious. I feel a little like I'm in the twilight zone though. I feel like I am always going to be pregnant and I'm never going to meet him. The paper they give you about the induction says it doesn't always work the first time...I have a feeling that will be me. This little man has absolutely no intention of coming out un-forced I am pretty sure...NO SIGNS that he is aware he is overcooking...

I can't wait for a lot of things...especially to see him and see what he looks like...and to feel that amazing feeling of how much I love him that I am told there is no way to expect...to see how Chris reacts...just all of it...I know it will be awesome!!! :)

I will see you all on the other side! Wish us luck! Love you all!

waiting & waiting

I'll be honest with you...

Today I am officially over being pregnant. Today I went to the doctor for a check up...for absolutely no reason!!! Here is what we learned:

I am STILL 2 cm, 75% effaced.
I am having contractions about 15 minutes apart...but they are weak contractions I guess b/c they AREN'T DOING THEIR JOB!!!!
They now scheduled me to be induced on Tuesday....which will put me at 41 weeks and 3 days...

I am THOROUGHLY convinced that last Thursday that woman stripped the membranes b/c it hurt like a son of a b and today it didn't hurt at all when they checked...not that I'm mad...it clears things up a bit...they do that to try and help get things moving I suppose...too bad it DID NOT work.

I'm pretty full of baby at this point...and I am pretty much always sweating...no sleep...you know, the usual 9 months pregnant routine!!! I really wasn't bothered too much until today...this doctor's visit made me feel dejected...heck if I had made ANY progress I would have been happy...instead I just kinda did the Charlie Brown head-down walk to my truck. lol.

So...the bottom line is I should be an official Mom and Chris and official Dad in six days. That would be even more exciting if it didn't mean I have to be pregnant for six more days...

Sorry about the complaining...it's not all bad...I've made up a song last night to sing to Zach entitled "I can't wait to meet you," so there is that... :)
