2 days....

Well, since I don't have any more dr visits to give you an update on, I figured I should write something about my last glorious week of pregnancy. I use glorious very loosely. This last week has sucked. As much as I am excited that it looks like I will make it until Monday and be able to have my own dr, I have never tried harder to have this baby than this week! I played tag with Ben and ran all over like a mad man, and today I got a massage and asked the lady to focus on the pressure points that induce labor! Ryan thinks I'm crazy-how on one hand I can be so stressed about not having Dr. C and then turn around and do all I can to get this baby out. I can't argue with him. He's right. But I am crazy these days. This week especially, I have been so moody and just plain mean. I know it. I can feel it. I just wake up pissed and every little thing bugs me. I'm not usually like that at all. At least I hope I'm not. I think I am just so tired and worn out. And I have had some serious stomach issues. Almost like the stomach flu, so that has been fun. Tonight is the worst. I won't go into the gory details, but it's not pretty. And I am achy. So, either I am getting sick, which will make for an even more pleasant mood tomorrow, or like a lot of woman, I am going into labor tonight and my body is "clearing out" in preparation. I have totally heard of that happening. Maybe the foot massage worked....

At any rate, I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to go to sleep tomorrow night knowing that in a few hours I will be holding my precious baby. Man, I feel like an elephant waiting for this day. Aren't they pregnant for like 2 years? I feel like I have been pregnant forever this pregnancy-I don't know what it is. But people tell me the same thing, that they feel I have been pregnant forever. Anyway, I just feel like I have had to wait so long to meet this special boy. I feel so connected to him already. And in just a day and a half I get to hold him! It will all be so worth it. What an amazing pay off. I would go through it all over again for him if I had to. But boy am I glad I don't!

Part of me is so nervous. Not for myself at all, but for my baby. After all, neither one of my kids has had a smooth entrance into this world. I just pray he is safe and healthy and has an easy entrance into this world and into my arms. I am having a blessing tomorrow so I'm sure that will calm my nerves. I have faith my Heavenly Father will protect him.

Well, the next you will hear from me will be when I have had sweet baby "I don't have a name yet". I will post pics and details as soon as I can. Pray for us!

PS: I forgot to talk at all about how excited the kids are. It is so cute. Ben can barely stand it, he keeps telling me he can't wait to hold him. And Jake, he asked this morning how many more days until my baby is going to "pop" out and when I put up 2 fingers he excitedly said, "YES!!". They will both be such great big brothers and I am so grateful that they have been so excited and interested in this adventure our family is going through. Another side note: Ryan said the other night, " I just can't wait to hold this baby and cuddle with him. I am going to sleep with him every night." So, needless to say, we are all very excited for this little guy to join our family!
