We went to see the doctor this week and we are now down to once a week visits! Which means it must be getting close!! He checked my cervix and it hasn't dilated (darn) but it is thinning, so that is good!
Everyone says to just enjoy these last couple weeks because it's a lot easier to feed and take care of the baby when he is inside of you. Which is great advice but at the same time I've had 35 weeks to enjoy this, I think I've got what it's all about. I'm ready whenever he is ready. However two more weeks would be good, I might panic if he shows up next week.
Mostly I am just tired of feeling huge. Getting dressed this morning I only had a couple tops that fit over this belly, I was trying not buy anything until after he comes cause I didn't want to waste the money on something, but I'm thinking I will go get maybe a few things. Luckily I don't work so I can get away with wearing my PJ's all the time.
I'm starting to freak out a little about A. Him actually being here, am I really ready to do this? and B. Me having to go through the labor of getting him here, I just don't see how my body will do it. and C. The recovery after he gets and taking care of him. Again am I ready?
David made a great point though, I have plenty of time to recover and figure it all out. I don't have a clock ticking away waiting for me to come back to work or be somewhere. My only responsibility is to this little baby and oh how I am so grateful for that! And a husband who has provided such an opportunity, I know it is not possible for so many Women and I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for it.
Next weeks doctor appointment we get an ultrasound! I can't wait! Unless he shows up before then. Unlikely.
We've started making bets on when is going to get here. The winner gets to choose where we go to eat on our first family outing. I know high stakes! I said March 31st because I really want him to come on Easter and David said March 29th. But honestly he is probably coming on his due date or after.
