Warning! This blog contains TMI. ;-)

Well, as my mother's blog has proudly announced to the internet world, my cervix is thinning and I am 1 cm. In further news of moving towards actually giving birth, I am losing my mucus plug. Like I said... TMI. ;-)

The house has become a frenzy (albeit a slow and sporadic one cuz I tire out easily) of last minute activity in preparation for baby. Hubby is hanging in there. What a man! We got his hair cut today and went antique shopping downtown till my swollen feet and aching back turned us back towards home. He's been so understanding these last few days, and so helpful in getting ready. Yay!

Oh, thank god!!!

We had a Dr. appointment today and she says we are gonna move my due date a little earlier! Yay!

Let me tell you, I am so ready to have this kid. Even the patients at work look at me and say how huge my stomach is for how long we thought i had to go. I took a little tumble two fridays ago and when the doctor walked in to exam me (I work at the ER and when I got to work, having fallen just as I was leaving the house to go to work, the nurses insisted I check in just in case) The Dr took one lok at me and said, "My god! You're huge! When did that happen?!" Everyone seems to think this big belly just sprang forth overnight, but let me tell you, it has been brewing for quite some time, and boy is my back tired of it.

So now, instead of expecting our little one on or about March 29th, Dr. says we will consider inducing if he hasn't made an appearance by March 20th. That's about three weeks from now. Boy, oh boy, this is getting real! I have got so much to do still!!

Motherhood, here I come!


... on the sentimental and hormonal side, Hubby was sitting with me on the couch tonight watching TV and leaned over to me, touching and kissing my belly like he usually does, and says "I know you won't, but I am gonna miss this." Just so sweet. And in a lot of ways, I will miss being pregnant. It has been hard on me a lot of the time, but it is such an incredible feeling to feel your little son moving inside of you, and playing guess the appendage when he's kicking. It was nice to have Hubby remind me that it hasn't all been so bad. ;-)

Blew my mind!

Mother's Day. Relevant in my house this year. whoa!

STOP syndrome

A nurse at work told me this one. "Sick and Tired Of Pregnancy" syndrome. 33 weeks and counting. Don't get me wrong, I have had my days when I am just overjoyed to be pregnant. But, I am so looking forward to being able to sit, stand, and lie down without groaning from the discomfort. I look forward to a time when merely standing up doesn't make me need to use the bathroom. I look forward to looking in a mirror and not wanting to cry when I see how huge I am.... I also look forward to spending time holding my new baby boy, to feeding him, to changing him, and to watching him in his crib as he sleeps. I look forward to mornings spent in bed with both my husband and my son, just being together. I look forward to it all. ;-)

But tonight I am just tired and muscle achey. And Sunday (my first day of my three day weekend) can't come fast enough.
