Ready, Willing, and Waiting...

Just some pictures to give you an idea of how huge I am! This was actually several weeks ago on our babymoon at Disney World!

This picture is last Saturday at my precious friend, Sarah's, baby shower. She is 25 weeks pregnant (in this picture) with Triplets!!! I would have guess I'm the one with triplets! Doesn't she look amazing?!

OK! I have been very nervous and hesitant about actually having this baby, but all that has gone out the window. Well, that's an exaggeration. I'm still nervous, but I'm very ready! I think part of that is helped by the fact that my mom got here Wednesday night. We've had a nice couple of days together, and it has been fun to watch her work furiously to get my very cluttered house in order!! It's just nice to have her here, and she's staying for a while to help us out! (Thanks, Daddy!).

I've made some progress, which is good. I won't go into all the details about that, but at my last appointment on Thursday I was 3 cm dilated! I'm almost all the way effaced already. And I imagine I'm dilated more now because I have contractions the past two nights. We really thought last night was the night, but then they just kind of fizzled out all of a sudden! On the bright side, after staying up for a while waiting to see what they would do, I had the best night's sleep I've had in months! That was great!

My doctor said that, if I'm having some contractions, I can come in tomorrow morning, and she won't send me home. So if nothing happens before then, it looks like we'll go in tomorrow. I guess if absolutely nothing is still happening, we may have to wait until Monday night, but we'll see!

We are so excited to meet our little baby boy! I can't believe he's almost here!!!!

Sorry no pictures, but here's an update...

Hi, Everyone! Once again, time has gotten away from me and I haven't updated in a while. Things are so busy right now! I'm still working, dragging myself in day by day, and that takes up most of my energy! And then we're trying to manage the chaos in our house as we get ready for this new arrival! Anyway, we're having fun and excited, but it's quite busy!

So I'm doing well, and so is little Baby Rock! Did I say little? Well, that's not quite true. Last week, at 36 weeks, I had an ultrasound, and he measured at 7 lbs 1oz already! Yikes! I know that isn't always completely accurate, but it's still a little scary! So, with our doctors counsel, we decided to schedule an induction for one week early, on April 1! Yes, two weeks from today. That was actually the latest date she offered, but we decided to give him a little more time to come on his on. I'll be honest, though: I'm having second thoughts about that! I'm so swollen and uncomfortable that I don't know if I can make it! I know I will, though!

I'm feeling lots of different emotions! I'm excited, but SO nervous! I knew my anxiety would increase at this point, and it most certainly has. Thankfully, I've had a lot of good encouragement from friends and family! I'm glad that this is my last week at work. Between dragging myself around, feeling tired, and not having anything that fits, work is quite an ordeal!

Well, just wanted to keep any readers updated on how things are going! I can't believe that I have two weeks or less! Wow! I'm so thankful for a good pregnancy, even if it is hard now!
