No news is not necessarily good news

I am 37 1/2 weeks and waiting (not entirely patiently). I really didn't think the last month would be that hard, oh how I was wrong. Something happened on Sunday as I randomly realized that I was ready to have the baby. Maybe because the nursery is basically ready, all necessary objects have been purchased and the bags are packed. Unfortunately, the baby is not ready to come out at this moment. So, I wait...we wait. We have very few plans scheduled these days in hopes of grabbing our numerous suitcases, bags, pillows etc and heading to Community North. My body continues to yell at me... feet are extremely tired by the end of the day, more pain in my lower back, and the glorious cramp-like contractions have started and become more routine. I was reading in my pregnancy book that right now it is recommended that you stop working and focus on your own rest... yeah right! Doesn't that sound like a great plan... sure I'll just sit around for the next few weeks, sleep, take long baths and treat myself like the princess I am. In reality, I will continue to work until this baby decides to join us in the world!

In all seriousness, we are excited and anxious for the day to truly come. We will keep you posted!

Baby, I command you: Come out! Please pass that message along, will you?
