...that's what I've been thinking lately. Even though it's still a little early for me (20 days left) people all around me are having their babies...even those who were due around the time I am. I can't help but think "Hey! It's our turn now!" I have 10 days of work left, then I'm on leave and the only thing keeping me going is the fact that I haven't reached the miserable stage yet. Occassionally it's been hard to walk but thankfully those days have fallen on my days off where I can relax at home. And now that the weather's been getting warmer, I swell easier. My feet were so swollen the other day I felt like Martin Short on the movie Pure Luck when he gets stung by the bee. I tried finding a picture on the internet but couldn't but if you've never seen the movie, it's worth watching.
I definitely have a few pre-labor symptoms and people have been telling me ways to get labor started but as of now we're both comfortable and I'm just going to let her be and come on her own time. That is, unless she chooses to be stubborn past her due date but I think our doctor will do something about it before then. We usually have our doctor appointments at the end of the week but he's starting to cycle me toward the beginning of the week incase he needs to induce me. He'd rather induce me on a Monday rather than a Friday so we don't have to worry about it over a weekend which is fine with me. I'm ready for anything!
Anyway, Jesse and I took a tour of the birthing center the other day and it's really nice. They've been remodeling it and the nurse said they should be done by Tuesday so it will be completely done by the time I give birth. It put me at ease because they have everything there that we could ever need including a pantry filled with snacks, a variety of gifts for the baby, a hide-a-bed for Jesse, a walk in shower with 6 shower heads, a jacuzzi tub, a full room service menu, and many extras. I just might not want to ever come home! And the nurses seem extremely nice also. Although I might have to hide Jesse's PS3 from him so he's not tempted to bring it to the hospital and hook it up to the flatscreen. And yes, he asked the nurse if she's ever seen that happen before. Shockingly, she said she had...but only by 15 year olds :o) We had to laugh at that one!
That's the latest news and we'll try and keep y'all updated on everything.
