The final countdown!!!


I can't believe it! I'm finally here! 38 weeks and only days to go! 6 to be exact! It's nice having a definate date that I KNOW the baby will be here by, if not before, but it still makes the wait long!!! I think he/she has dropped, but that hasn't brought on more problems than before! I'll be SOOO glad when this little one is OUT causing problems. That way others can share in the fun! Keeping him/her all to myself has been selfish and it's time I share!
With my other complications not getting any better, my mom has moved up her plans to be here so that she can help me get through the next few days. Jason has been awesome about coming home at the drop of a hat, or phone call, but it will be nice now if he can come with me instead of having to hold down the fort. With delivery in the near horizon, Mom decided that I could use an extra set of hands to prepare myself and rest, as well as try to avoid the snow storm we are supposed to get on Monday and Tuesday. If we didn't count on it, the airports would close and she wouldn't be able to fly in on Wednesday... but now that she's coming before the bad weather, it will be 80's all week long and I won't have any more complications until delivery on the 18th! WOOHOO If only that would happen. (Now, with my luck, my water will break tonight and there will be a freak snow storm in Texas closing all the airports down!)
Either way, this will be my LAST week pregnant and I'm kinda bittersweet about it! I've had something "fun" happen with all my pregnancies and I have truly enjoyed "watching them grow" as they swim accross my abdomen in these last stages. However, there comes a point when sleep is important, Rolaids turn your stomach to just think about it, and you have the urge to tuck your shirt in and wear a belt again... not to mention tie your own shoes!!! I have had a wonderful 4 pregnancies... 2 more than I thought I would ever achieve, and it's time to put this in the past. (Yes, doctor, I know the procedure is PERMANENT, now where do I SIGN????) I just don't understand why he can't snip off a little extra skin while he's closing me up since he's right there!!! If you have a C/Section, you should have the option of getting stitched up tighter than when ya started! I'm sure the docs would end up getting paid more, so why not? But a girl can dream, and speaking of dreaming.. I'm off to soak for 15 more minutes (I used to dream about taking 4-5 baths a day, but this is getting OLD!!!) and then off to dream. Hopefully all night!!
