So here's the deal...

I know many of you are very curious about what's going on...."it's the 22nd....shouldn't there be a baby??"  Well...yes, but no.  lol.  The original plan was that I would be induced today - but that plan was with my original OB/GYN, who is out on an extended maternity leave.  So the doctor I have been seeing has had to alter the plan.  First of all, Baby Girl and I are fine.  Both healthy, as far as we can tell.  :)  But I have the possibility of some complications so to avoid those, we have scheduled a c-section for Monday afternoon.  It will be on Monday because that is the day that my current dr does surgery at the hospital and because the hospital has a rule that if there is no medical emergency, then the baby can't be taken until 39 weeks.  :)  Now, that doesn't mean that baby girl won't decide to come on her own...and that if she does that I can't deliver naturally, it just means for now, we are planning to avoid possible complications.  :)  So there ya go.  Monday is the day....we think. 

It's kind of funny, because now that we have this "definite" date and time, Matthew and I have a to-do list that is a mile long.  If she had come a week ago, we were like "eh, whatever" but not anymore.  We have plans to rearrange furniture, we have two grocery lists, I am frantically trying to keep up with the laundry because I know that I won't be able to make the trek downstairs for a while.....it's crazy!  (Speaking of crazy, if you know me, you know I am OCD and have done my own laundry since I was 8....the thought of anyone else doing it just about pushes me over the edge.  lol)  I have made an appointment to get Samson into the groomer as well.  I am not sure if we will get all of it (or any of it!) done before Monday, but we intend to try!!  As part of my "nesting" I have made friends with my sewing machine.  I am taking baby steps in this relationship and thought I would start with something easy. You can see my beginning work below.  It isn't fabulous, but it's a start!   (you will also see a pic of Matthew and his dad putting together the pack and play....if only there were sound effects...) 

I am officially uncomfortable and ready for baby girl to get here.  I haven't been sleeping well (some nights, not at all) and I hurt.  I know I can't complain because this pregnancy really has been pretty easy, but I am ready for her to be out.  I don't feel like my muscles (don't laugh) can hold her up much longer.  Come on Monday! 

5 more days and you learn her name.....

39 Weeks...or 5 days to go!

How hard can putting together a pack n play be?
