Baby Update

As you can see from the ticker above, tomorrow is my due date. I had a feeling that this little girl was going to be late, but I was ever hopeful that I would be wrong. Not so much. The good news is that I am feeling pretty good. Ask me how I was feeling last week around this time and you would not have received the same answer. I'm not sure if I am just used to this feeling or if she has dropped, but I am not nearly as uncomfortable as I was before. I am sleeping better and that alone can make a world of a difference.

My next appointment is this Friday afternoon with a different doctor than I have been seeing (my doctor is in Columbia on a missions trip). I am guessing that even if I wanted to be induced, it would not happen until Monday 2/8/10 at the earliest (when my doctor is back) or some other time that week.

I have to keep telling myself that she cannot stay inside forever and that in less than 10 days I will get to see her sweet face, but everyday is a waiting game. Amelia was 3 days late so apparently it is a girl thing! She will fit right in with Mia and I in this house since it seems she wants to have things her way and is being a bit stubborn! Matt is hoping she doesn't come on Superbowl Sunday since he wants to watch the Colts and I am hoping she doesn't come Sunday since it is Mia's birthday. I don't think she would mind now, but I am afraid that later she will not like sharing her birthday with her baby sister. Not to mention that we would be in the hospital on her birthday and because of the H1N1 rules I would not be able to see her that day which totally breaks my heart.

So enough of the what-ifs since all they do is make me emotional...I must try to remind myself that every time I deliver, a part of me is sad that my little one is no longer with me every minute. Although by the end of the pregnancy I am totally over it, there is still something so amazing about growing a life inside of you and feeling all of the kicks and movements. Not too much longer...we will keep you all updated. Love you all!
