Well, this is it!

We are suppose to check-in tomorrow at 6:30 am. I'm just hoping that it won't take to long and I'll get to meet my baby soon.

I'm a little nervous. Never had pitocin before and I'm really not looking forward to it. But it's time to get things going.

That's it for now. Next time I post, it will be about my beautiful baby.

Going Into Labor

I really want to know what's it's like to go into labor. I want to spend the day, contracting. Then time them in order to find out if they are close enough together to go to the hospital. Or wake up in the middle of the night, water broken and in active labor. I want to call my parents and say, "It's time. Come over." I want to be wheeled into the delivery room and told that I'm 8 cm. I want to have a normal labor.

I don't want to be induced. I want my body to do it on it's own.

Is it crazy that I think this way? Just once, I want to be able to do it on my own. I wish there was some way to know if I was going to be able to start labor, without assistance.

I can picture it in my mind, telling Mike I think it's time to go. Waking him up or calling him to come home. I know I just have to wait to find out, but it's so hard.

I don't want to be induced, but I also don't want to be weeks overdue and waiting for this baby to come. I want to meet my baby. I'm ready to meet my baby.

I'll just keep moving so that I can keep things going. Who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll be at the hospital and I won't have to wonder anymore.

I hope so!

No News!

Nothing exciting yet. Just sitting and waiting. I've been pretty tired, so I haven't really done a whole lot this week. My bag is packed and the car seat is ready to go. I washed the bouncer covers. So we are getting there.

I ordered a few things from Target. Hopefully, they make it in time for the baby. I can't believe we are down to single digit days. It's amazing how fast it has gone. Even this week has gone pretty fast. I mean it's already Thursday (well pretty much).

I have been feeling pretty crappy the last few days. I had a headache for about 24 hours. I'm not sure why, but at least it's gone now. Hope I didn't just jinx myself. Nothing is really "happening" right now. I can feel the baby moving down, so I just have to wait. It will get there. I would love to wait til the baby is ready and it wants to come. I guess we will see.

Well, that's it for now.

Downhill slide.....

Well, it's almost over. I really can't believe it. Less than two weeks to go.
I have a doc. appointment tomorrow. We will see what he has to say. I'm sure it will be, "anytime now!" Yeah sure...

I've got all the stuff for my hospital bag, just need to pack it. And I'm making the calling list, so everyone can hear the good news.

I guess I don't really have anything to write. Just kinda my scattered thoughts.

Oh, still need to get clothes to bring the little one home in! Gotta do that. And have the video camera checked. It hasn't been working quite right. Geez... I better write this stuff down. LOL.

Here's my latest pic. Ignore my big butt!
