I am going to have this baby girl tomorrow. Yep. At my appointment on Monday Dr. Jones told me that Dr. Davis was wrong. He had told us that the baby was only 6lbs. (for some reason, wth?!!?) Nope. She was 7.1 and that was two weeks ago. Dr. Jones is thinking that she will be well over 8 lbs. Normal for me. He sent me to the hospital for a non-stress test and an ultrasound to measure amniotic fluid. I guess both turned out fine, never heard back. He also scheduled me to be induced on Thursday. I am excited. But, I really don't want to have pitocin. It makes the contractions so much worse. I had pitocin with half of my labors and there is a definite difference. Oh well, the point is, she will be here! We go tomorrow morning at 9am for pitocin and water breaking. I am going to have Jeremy and Trisha there with me. I am hoping between Trisha and I, we can get a ton of good shots to document my very last pregnancy. It is going to be very bittersweet for me.
I had some more false labor last night. This pregnancy has had the most false labor I have ever had. I am much older now. Who knows what the reason is....whatever it is, I am sick of it. Today I woke up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I got the kids ready for school, packed lunches for field trips, signed forms, etc. and sent them on their way. Then Eden and I laid down on the couch for some quality time with Blues Clues! lol! Debbie stopped by and I had to drag myself off the couch to answer the door, haha! Now, I am trying to motivate myself to do the GAZILLION things I need to do today. I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I think I need some caffeine or something.
Jeremy is in Hannibal today too which always throws my whole day off. He wanted to get it out of the way though, which I understand.
The kids are excited too! Cullen keeps kissing my belly and telling the baby he loves her and can't wait to see her! He is so sweet! Eden rubs my tummy and says "baby in tummy" but, I'm pretty sure she is going to be shocked and amazed when we have a real, live baby! haha!
We still don't have a name for her. This is gonna be hard. Cullen is hooked on Vivianne. Which is a name I really like but, I just don't know. Anyway, I guess I should actually do something today although I would really like to just lounge around on the day before I go birth a baby. It is hard work and I know I am going to be exhausted. Oh well, life goes on as it always does and somehow we catch up.
