Today marks 40 weeks and 1 day...according to my due date...and still no baby. It's a good thing I know I won't be pregnant forever, even though some days it sure does feel like it. I'm not miserable yet (a very common question these days). I feel pregnant and extremely tired but I still feel good. Although I am very ready to meet our lil' guy.
At today's Dr. appointment we scheduled an induction for Thursday, July 12. I'm all the way effaced and dilated to a 3. Maybe our baby will decide to come before Thursday but at least it won't go longer than that...it's kind of a relief. I am getting slightly nervous about the whole labor and delivery part of this journey. But it has to happen so bring it on.
I am officially on maternity leave which gives me a lot of time with not too much to do. If I had more energy there would be a huge list of things I could get done, but being 9 months pregnant....nothing sounds good. I have started thinking a lot about what it will be like to be a mom-am I really ready, will I be a good mom, how will I know what to do? I guess I will just live and learn through trial and error.
I thought it would be fun to have all the pictures next to each other and see the progression that way...
I was just thinking of you last night and wondering if your little man had come yet. :) You are going to be a wonderful mother! The first few weeks were a shock to my system (and sometimes still are) but you won't go wrong with all the love that will just explode once he is here. Also, I think you'll surprise yourself at how well you handle labor and delivery. Best wishes!!!
