The Wait.

After my doctor appointment yesterday confirmed that everything is going great, and that I WON'T need to be induced anytime soon, or hopefully at all, I was happy about that. My blood pressure is good, proteins are good, non-stress tests are showing baby boy is doing just fine. It's all the wait now...

wait... wait... wait..

I'm down to less then 2 weeks.. but it seems forever, but then it doesn't. It doesn't seem that long at all. I'm all for waiting, as long as he appears in the month of October. Call it dumb, but I want an October baby. Maybe because I was an October baby, and I loved when my birthday was, and I want that for Kayden... but he could totally hate it for all I know.

wait.. wait... wait.

Overall, I feel ok. Yes, puffy, large, and waddling... but I'm really not that bad. I can handle another 2 weeks... we'll see how I feel after that.

Yesterday was my birthday... 24 years old, and I don't feel a day older. I went out with my mom shopping and we had lunch.. got some good stuff and after my last Doctor appointment went home and took a nap. (ahhh) it was nice, and I am totally not a nap person.

The husband was awesome enough to make me some birthday dinner, and even a birthday cake. Got to love him, he loves to make me happy (most of the time ;)  And it was a darn good dinner too... a light garlic/lemon pasta with salad and chocolate cake for dessert. Yum. I can't wait for lunch now to eat my leftovers.

It was a nice birthday.. but I know my best gift is coming soon.

Just got to wait for him, everything is on his time of course :)

The Final Weeks

This last week or so has been hectic....

My mind has been everywhere and I think I even lost it a few times.

These final weeks are horrible.. not in a "I'm so uncomfortable way" because although I am sometimes, I'm really not that bad as everyone made it out to seem.. it's more of a going to the Doctor a million times more then planned, and having a scare of "You might need to be induced early" due to some blood pressure problems...

Now, I am under watch. Baby is great, he checks out perfect, so I am SO thankful for that. They are just keeping an eye on me these last few weeks just in case.

As much as I DONT want to be induced, and that I really want to my first time as natural as possible, having a I know when you are coming date sounds kind of nice. Takes away the HOLY CRAP ITS TIME date. Which, can be fun? (Notice question mark)

It's all so real now, that my baby.. this new little human being I have been carrying for over 9 months now will be here soon. The anxiety and excitement can be unbearable.

Let us also not forget the craziness of trying to get things done before he comes. My husband probably wants to run away at this point.. but he'll get over it. Our list of to-dos is definitely down to the last final items... I'm finally starting to be able to relax a little and know that everything is ready... he can come at anytime.

These last final weeks are full of emotions and craziness... so forgive me if I am absent more then usual.. I promise at one point (I hope) I will be back and not sound so out there.
