Just thought I'd update!
So today I'm 41 weeks pregnant...no baby. Well, yes there's a baby, but it's still so cozy and I'm the only one who gets to hold it! I'm starting to feel a little impatient, but also to remember that it could easily be another week yet. I've been off for 2.5 weeks from work...which has been great...but I'm starting to miss my kiddos. I talked to another teacher and she said they were doing fine. I still miss them.
Today my midwife is coming over for an appointment and hopefully she'll tell me what we'll do if things don't get started soon. Tomorrow I have a fetal assessment...just to make sure everything's still ok in there. I'm hoping not to make it to that appointment, but given how good I feel, I'm guessing that I'll be there and feeling great!
My sister's coming to the birth and she's been so funny lately. She writes me an email every morning to tell me where she'll be during the day and to remind me that she has her cell phone with her at all times...as though we're going to forget to call her! She bought labor snacks the other day and has made arrangements for her kids for any circumstance! I'm so excited that she's so excited! And Stewy, well I think he's doing great, but he did admit to someone yesterday that he knows he'll be nervous once I ask him to start timing or when we get into the car to go to the hospital. Right now I don't think it feels real enough to either of us to be nervous about it. I keep thinking it's going to be a great experience and I'm just excited to get the show on the road! I'll maybe need to get someone to remind me of that when the pain is really bad!
To keep our minds off of things...well, at least to attempt to do that...we've been watching curling. The Brier is on now and we figure we've got a tournament straight through labor and delivery, when we first get home, and after Stewy goes back to work given that the women's Worlds are next week. The men are a few days after that, but I think we can make it through the gap...pathetic, hey?
I also did some cleaning and baking on Monday and today Stewy's home so we did some of the things that we've been procrastinating. The house looks fantastic and I think everything's pretty much ready to go. The car seat still needs to be put into the car, but that's the plan for later. Oh, and the music room still needs attention, but that's an ongoing saga at our house!
Ok, I've rambled long enough. Must finish making lunch. Please continue to pray for us...for a healthy baby and that I won't become too impatient. Yesterday was pretty tough...but today is better again, so I won't vent!
