This pretty much sums up how I've been feeling the last week or so! My grandma read it in the paper and sent it to me:) If you have every been pregnant you know that the last few weeks you are just DONE.
Today I'm 39 weeks and 2 days. Just 5 days to go until my due date but I'm hoping for an early arrival! I have a doctor's appointment today and am excited to learn if I have made any progress. At my appointment on Friday, I was 3-4 cm dilated and my cervix was quite thin. Hopefully today I'll be a little bit further along! The good thing about labour is that once you are dilated you can't go backwards.
Everything is ready to go. I have my hospital bag and diaper bag packed, the crib is made and the car seat has been cleaned. The pack-n-play is set up in our room and I bought newborn diapers yesterday. I forgot how little and cute they are (pre-poop of course!) Cohen thought they were the coolest thing he had every seen. He kept saying "oh tiny baby diapers!"
I can hardly sleep. Its uncomfortable and my mind is so anxious! I just want to meet the baby. I was up until almost five this morning questioning the names we have picked out and starting to worry if they baby will be healthy, or if it will HUGE! I finally prayed for the baby and asked God for a safe and quick delivery. And then I moved my large self to the couch and finally could get to sleep. (Apparently last night my husband thought I was a body pillow, so I kept having to remove his leg from mine.)
Wednesdays are usually my busiest day of the week, usually teaching 2-3 classes and working a four hour shift. So I don't know what to do with myself today. Having nothing to do is strange for me. I am going to play with Cohen, bounce on my exercise ball, read, drink tea, and finish sewing some burp cloths. Speaking of Cohen, I hear is sweet voice waking up:)
I'll keep you posted on my progress!
Thanks for reading,
