So it's nearing the end and I really can't believe how quickly it's gone. I know time wise I've been pregnant for 10 months now but it didn't feel like almost a year. Between doctor’s appointments and wellness appointments and all the excitement from others, time just seemed to flow by. (Well except those first 3 months where I spent most days hallucinating!!).
I have my final doctors appointment this Friday and the doctors will probably make the appointment to have me committed...oops I mean admitted...to be induced on MONDAY. MONDAY, MONDAY, wow by this time next week I will be a mother? I don't think it's really hit home yet...not sure when it will...probably that first 2:00AM feeding I imagine!!
So of course yesterday I spent a good few hours on my favorite Two Peas website (or rather my encyclopedia from real live women’s stories) reading the good, the bad and ugly on getting induced, breaking water, and pitocin...and by the end of it I felt well informed.
I'm not scared just yet...just very excited that I'll finally get to see the little one wriggling around inside of me.
My bag is packed and sitting by the front door...the car seat is in place and C gets migraines every morning now...so I know my time is near.
It seems that most people picked the name Chloe as the favorite name so I will keep that in mind once I see the little one’s face in the hopes that it fits.
Well wish me luck, I’m off on a journey!

OMG is probably not the most complimentary response, but OMG!! Knowing your low tolerance for pain and anything else for that matter, I am so proud of you through this journey. Trust me, it only gets better from here!
ReplyDeleteThat is unbelieveable. I was looking at the picture of you and saw that little birth mark is in a whole different place now!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteEverything will be fine, just remember everything as you know it now will change forever (for the better). Tell C, I said HI. take care of your self and your gift from GOD.
OOOOH!!! I am so excited!!!! So I will be able to come see the little one when I come to NJ in May. I changed my trip to May 19th...
ReplyDelete"You're going to be a mom!" So that makes me an auntie by default right? LOL Since we are both the only child...LOL Oh my God, I have to make sure that I call you to know what the baby is so that I can shop, shop, shop!

ReplyDeleteHey there lady, I was just about to shoot you an email and ask if you'd "crossed over" into motherhood yet :-). But I see that is going to happen in the not too distant future. I'm so happy for you. Motherhood and even the birthing process is absolutely AMAZING! I tell ya, if I wasn't so darned old, I'd have another one...just for kicks and giggles :-). I LOVE being a mother. I'm not that good at it...but I love it nonetheless. Especially the baby phase (the shortest phase by far).
ReplyDeleteI pray all goes well with you and I can't wait to see those first pictures of your little blessing. Get some rest NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
OH MY GOD .. girl you're ready to go !! I'm so excited for you :) You're absolutely beautiful and with such a kind heart your baby is truly blessed !! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Girl! You're near the finishing line... or should I say the start. I wish you a short and sweet labour. Welcome to motherhood. The first few weeks will be tough but you'll get through it. Seeing your little baby's doey eyes looking up at you will make it all worth it.
ReplyDeleteMy god I remember you're belly washboard flat! Good luck I'll be thinking of you. I don't envy you but then I did my time and now it's you're turn, but I do wish you all the luck in the world. I bet you'll be glad to get it over with and enjoy the summer. Good luck lots of love xxx
ReplyDeleteYou look so beautiful I love that picture of you !!!!! I'm glad to know that your doing well and that your time is getting near. The best thing I can tell you to do is walk as much as possible and if you can get some get it because that will help as well if you don't want to be induced hahaha!!!! love ya t
