The End is Near!

Went to the doctor today... He did all the measuring of the water around the baby, his heartbeat, and my contractions. Apparently I was having contractions and I didn't even know it, pretty consistent ones too! So he told us the baby will come within the next 48 hours if not on his own then by being induced. So now I have an appointment to go to the hospital this friday and get induced! I'm hoping he comes on his own before then... But if he doesn't at least there is a light at the end of this very loooong tunnel!!! Friday will be the big day and I am very nervous and freaking out, so hopefully with a lot of prayer I can get through this!!!!!!! Keep us in your prayers.

Due Date...

I love how due dates come...and go... Today was my due date, this baby is cooked and ready to burst, but does he want to make an appearance? no. Ok, do I sound bitter??? (Sorry)

I know that only 5% of ladies actually deliver on their due date, but when DOC has been telling me since 37 weeks along that the baby could come any day you can't blame me for crossing my fingers that at least by now that little guy would be in my arms and not constantly pressing on my pubic bone...

We went to the Doc last wednesday and he basically gave me the heads up that I'll probably go passed my due date and end up needing to be induced. Can I truly be surprised? no. All three of my sisters combined have had 20 children, and for all 20 of them they had to be induced every single time... They all went passed 41 weeks. We're not talkin' just for their firsts, we're talkin' every baby they have had. Hence, I'm not totally surprised that this little man is just hanging out in my belly having a merry ol' time.

At least the light at the end of this very long tunnel is I know I'll be induced at the end of next week and I'll be snuggling my little man. I will keep my spirits high and continue to be grateful for the sleep I am getting and for the me time I am getting.
