Many Titles....

There could be so many titles to this post:

Eviction Notice Served

Tomorrow I will meet my Son

Last Night Alone

Family Overnight

The list could go on. I am as they say over due. Wed I will be 41 weeks, and tomorrow morning Tim and I will head the hospital bed permitting to have our son. We both are a little bummed to be given the date instead of the surprise but we are both ready and cant wait to experience this miracle together.

My last appt on my due date was an okay one. They hooked me up for an NST to make sure he was handling everything okay, he was happy as a lark in there. But I guess he is smart and knows the world is better inside me than out here in this crazy world. Dr. Allen gave me an exam, this time I was dilated 1cm and my cervix was softer. He said BB was still low and that if we want we could go ahead and schedule the induction. It was not something we wanted to really do but we wanted to give ourselves the weekend to see if it happened on its own and if not we still had the back up so that is what we did.

So tomorrow at 4am we will call L&D to make sure there is a bed for me and head in around 6. I am not too nervous yet, I think Tim is but I know my nerves will kick in once we get there prob. It is really all still surreal to me. Our bags are packed, the cigars bought (another story all together) and those who need to know the plan do. So we are set to come home with our little boy this week.

In my last post I complained a good bit about my fathers family. I havent heard from them since and they have no clue about tomorrow, I would rather keep it that way for my sanity. I dont want to have to deal with that uncomfotable situation while going through labor. They will def be mad but at this point it is the least of my worries. I just need to worry about myself, my husband and my child. End of story.

This weekend was pretty packed, we hung out with Ethan and Katie quite a bit, well just about every day. Friday we went to dinner with them, Sat I went to see g-ma and they came over and hung out that night, and on Sunday Katie and I went to the mall while Tim and Ethan got a few beers while watching the race. I really hoped all my moving around would put me in labor yesterday I definitely did too much and wore myself out so much that sleeping last night was non-existent. I did however find the cutest outfit for BB from Gymboree it was all discontinued and I was able to find onsies, hat, socks, blanket, pants, and cardigan that all matched in sailboats here is a picture....I love it and hope that he can wear it in his hospital pictures

Today was my last day of work, although since I hardly slept last night I did not go in till 11:30 and only for an hour. I answered a few e-mails and then put my out of office on for my 6 week maternity leave. It felt really good to do that and be able to let everyone know a little bit ahead of time that I was out for the baby. Tim also only worked half a day but that was because his boss sent him home. So we have spent a lazy day together which has been nice. It is getting late and I wanted to make one last entry before I become a mother tomorow. This pregnancy has been such a journey and I would do it again in a heartbeat, my next post there will be a little boy to show off.

I cant wait to update with my birth story, share his name finally, and post pics. I also am looking forward to filling his blog full of fun stories and pictures for many years to come. Stay tuned.....the ride is just beginning!
