Maybe Baby?

The last few months have been some of the most stressful and some of the most exciting for Chris and I. We found a house, waited for it to close, waited two more weeks for it to be finished, and then moved. All in the third trimester of this pregnancy. Not recommended. But we are so happy to be settled or mostly settled by the time the baby arrives. We love having a house and I am surprised how much little things make a difference. Like my garbage cans being right outside the kitchen in the garage instead of down three flights of stairs and across the parking lot. I also love that I don't have to climb stairs for groceries and I can successfully transfer Max to his bed from the car if he falls asleep in the car around nap time. Never was I able to do that before!

About two weeks ago I was good with maybe waiting until 40 weeks to see if she would come on her own. But the last couple weeks have been rough between my back/hip pain, Max not sleeping since we moved, and the constant energy drain I feel. I KNOW I will be even more sleep deprived when she comes, but she's coming and at this point I am looking forward to meeting her. I am also looking forward to in a few weeks when getting up and down off the floor is not so difficult. I never knew how much I got on the floor with Max until I was very pregnant.

I was supposed to be induced yesterday. My baby has been measuring big and my belly is anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks ahead. At my 39 week appointment my belly was measuring 42 weeks. And by the significant amount of new stretch marks I am getting I know she is stretching my belly even more than Max did.

However, lots of babies decided to come yesterday and so I was taken off the list. I thought at this point in time I would no longer be pregnant and have my daughter in my arms. To say I wasn't disappointed would be a lie. Maybe even a little heartbroken. But I know she is still coming. And my doctor was gracious enough to induce me tomorrow even though he doesn't normally do inductions on Friday's.

So I'm Anxiously waiting for tomorrow and meeting my little girl! Hope I don't get bumped again!!
