So I went to the doctor today for a check up on me and baby. We found out that I only dilated 1cm in the past week, even with the minor contractions. But the good news is that I am scheduled for induction on Friday! and just to clarify, its not due to any medical problems. I'm overdue now and very uncomfortable, plus with our move coming up we have a lot to do that can't be done until little man gets here!

I'm just really looking forward to finally meeting him and getting back to myself again. Its hard to be my happy upbeat self when I'm so uncomfortable 97% of the time.

Plus my dad is coming to visit for a couple weeks so its gonna be a very busy and exciting weekend for us and I cant' wait!!!

Move Along

So one chapter has closed in my life as another one is about to begin. My last day of work was on Monday but yesterday I received my final paycheck and it is just now hitting me how much I'm going to miss working and some of my former co-workers.

A lot of people have also asked me why I decided to quit instead of just taking maternity leave, well here is the explanation... I am due Nov. 27th and if took leave it would be about 6 weeks long, therefore putting me back to work in January, which wouldn't be a problem if we weren't PCSing in February. So basically I don't see the point in going back to work for a week or 2, only to be moving and having to quit anyways.

After working with for that company for almost a year I've made some very good friends, and I am going to miss them very much. Lucky for me we have a few more months before we have to say our official goodbyes.

Looking forward to the new chapter in my life, I am SOOOOOOO ready to have this baby. I'm 38 weeks and 4 days, and as any other pregnant woman may know, I am EXTREMELY uncomfortable and just plain tired. As much as I would love to play with Lilly, all I want to do most of the time is sleep. So everyone keep your fingers crossed for me and lets all hope that this baby decides to make an appearance soon!
