Paul and I are going into our LAST weekend before we are officially Mom and Dad. I am in total shock that I will be giving birth to a baby girl in a week. So here is the plan for next week: If I have not progressed toward labor before then, I will being going in Thursday night at midnight and will be given meds at 12am and 4am. Then at 8am Friday morning, they will start the pitocin to get labor going. I just ask that everyone keeps us in their prayers because I'm getting very anxious over the pain and everything I will experience before she arrives. I just can't wait to hold her for the first time and nurse her and begin this journey as a Mom. I absolutely cannot wait for Paul to hold his daughter for the first time either! It's going to be great!
Today I set about finishing a bunch of tasks I was putting off. I now believe that a clean house makes for a happy home, in my case atleast. I started out by cleaning all the bathrooms. Then I cleaned all our floors (the floors in this house are all tile, so lots of sweeping and mopping). After taking a little break, Paul and I gave the dogs a bath. They are now clean and ready to meet their new baby sister :-) I got laundry done AND got the kitchen cleaned. I am HAPPY. I haven't had the energy for that type of cleaning in a long time, on top of taking care of the dogs as well.
Anyways, that's about it for an update. Still a few things left to do before I "feel" ready. Will I ever really feel ready? I doubt it, but bring it on!
