It's Always About The Boy :)

I'm rather enjoying my time at home, although I'm ready to be spending it hanging out with my little munchkin! I know what I'm getting myself into. I know that there will be days where I want to pull my hair out, but I'm just so excited right now! There will be lots of challenging moments, but lots of rewarding moments to make up for it!

I've been watching a lot of the baby shows on TLC during the day. I cry every time a baby starts to cry for the first time. Each day it sinks in more that I will be hearing Daniel's cry very soon. Although watching those shows helps me prepare in some ways, it's been making me nervous too. It seems like they show so many women who aren't dilating fast enough for the doctor's so they take them in for a c-section. I am SO hoping to avoid that! Although, it'll come down to whatever is safest for him.

I went and picked up some groceries this afternoon and continued with the Braxton Hicks.

Tomorrow is my 40 week appointment. I'm looking forward to seeing my own doctor again this week and finding out if I've progressed in the past 2 weeks, since the stupid Dr. last week wouldn't tell me anything. I'm sure we'll be discussing induction. I still haven't decided on what I want to do, but talking with her usually helps me weigh my options a little better. It's great actually having a Dr. that I trust. I know she won't let me go past 41 weeks which means that no matter what, he'll be here in a week and a half!

I'd love to go tomorrow or Friday. I'm nervous about Saturday because Jacob will be out of town for a music event if I'm not in labor. He's taking his own car, but I'm getting to that point where I'm a little nervous to have him too far away!

Here's hoping for a little munchkin very very soon! My prediction was tomorrow, but I don't know if that'll happen or not.

  2. You're going to be just fine, Rachel Mae. God has it all under control. However, I'm still "pushing" for Saturday, so Jacob better stay home.
