That's exactly what I've been doing all day. I was looking at the list of things to take to the hospital last night and realized just about all my comfy clothes are dirty, since that's what I wear on a daily basis... Anyway, finally about done with it all. I'm going to try to find my duffel bag, I'm sure it's in the garage and start packing it tonight. I need to pack the diaper bag as well. Wow... almost there. I wonder what they'll say at my doctor's appt on Thursday. A part of me would like to be induced, just so I can plan accordingly. Spontaneous labor scares the crap out of me, knowing it could come at any time, yikes. I don't think I would ever ask to be induced though... I've heard it takes longer to dilate and contractions become unbareable since you have to force them and they don't have time to start light and get more intense. I definately don't want to cause myself more pain than I have to. It would be nice if due dates were exact, and include the hour it would take place, lol.
Physically, I would love for him to hurry up and come out. I'm so uncomfortable... especially at night. Switching sides is just a huge ordeal, and poor Bobby is awakened every time I do. I told him he better get used to it though. The first month or two after Deagan arrives he won't get any sleep anyway. I told him it was his job to get Deagan up for feedings and to change him, and I would supply the boobies. Sounds like a fair trade to me... I'm going to be the one with the dry cracky nipples that hurt all the time. At least his waking up 3 times a night won't hurt physically, maybe just mentally, lol. I think once Deagan's here though, Bobby will be happy to do it. He's going to be a wonderful father. Every day he seems to be more anxious... I think he's secretly hoping every day that I go into labor so he can finally see his little boy. I don't blame him, I'm sure it's tough to be that patient for 9 months and then get down to the last few weeks, he's just chomping at the bit. :o) I love it though.
As much as I want to see my little one, and even though I'm uncomfortable, I will definately miss the pregnancy part. Holding my little guy safetly in my belly and feeling him wiggle around all the time. It's such a cherished time as a woman. I grew a human... how crazy is that?! I just love it... Well, tomorrow we're going to Bobby's former boss' house for dinner. She's making BBQ so I'm excited! She got us a gift but I haven't been able to figure out what it is yet, so I guess it'll be a surprise. Thursday is my doctor's appt and Bobby's off so he'll actually be able to go with me! Our changing table/dresser should be here that day too! I can finally put clothes away! The chifferobe is still waiting for a second coat on the doors, drawer and knobs. It's been raining for like a week now, so we've been putting it off because we don't want the humidity to mess it up. We're hoping it's nice tomorrow. At least majority of it is finished though. Once it's dry we just have to rig the dowel inside so I can hang Deagan's clothes that I don't want folded.
Anyway, I guess that's all for now. I'm sure I'll blog again when we get the changing table/dresser built and put in it's place. I've been putting off posting nursery pictures until it looks at least mostly finished, lol.
