One day away.....so crazy to think how crazy fast time has flown these past months. We are all extremely anxious and excited to meet our new addition! Today is becoming the mother of all nesting days....loads of laundry, last minute errands, finalizing the packing of bags for both myself and the girls, pigging out on chips and soda before I have to reign in the guilty pleasure eating habits, etc.... Technically we are 'third call' tomorrow (that was as of a week ago so who knows if the first two ladies ahead of me have possibly already gone into labor, moving me up the list) and the hospital starts calls at 5am ...so basically I am anticipating a day of waiting around - let's hope we're pleasantly surprised with a morning call. (
UPDATE - a lady from labor and delivery just called and we are now 'first call' tomorrow morning!)
At my last appointment Monday, I was still 3 cms, 70-80% effaced and the baby's head was
right there, ready to go. Heartbeat was up in the 150's, weight gain was 0 for an overall of +29 pounds. I'm still measuring ridiculously behind (33 weeks) but nobody seems concerned by that anymore - my height must be like a lounge chair in that womb....allowing this child to stretch out with a pina colada until his/her time has come.
And somebody finally made a bump shot reappearance (perhaps after a little bribe):
So stay tuned.....hopefully tomorrow is the day. Praying for a healthy baby, healthy mama and if we can eek in one more favor request, a pleasant (and drug filled) labor and delivery.
