The home stretch...

So a quick update...I was scheduled for a c-section tomorrow, July 11th, but in a moment of insanity I moved the date back to my actual due date which is July 18th.  I want this little lady to be good and ready and to be honest I would actually like her to come on her own terms so I know she's ready.  That will take away the luxury of having a scheduled delivery and having all my ducks in a row but I'm willing to compromise that for spontaneous labor of a baby and body that is ready to deliver.  In other news, I am officially done working until October.  Working night shift and being awake for nearly 30 hours with about a hour nap with the kids about did me in!  Heck, one would have thought that would of/should of put me in labor!  Over about the past 7 to 10 days I've started to feel the affects of being 38+ weeks pregnant in the 100+ degree heat.  I can't chase the kids as fast, I don't sleep quite as well and I'm just overall more tired but I know that's just part of the process and I'll take it to have a term, happy, healthy baby.  I'm still not even a centimeter dilated and only 50% effaced so who knows maybe the 18th will be the date we get to meet her!  Two days ago, I finally put a few things in a suitcase and could be ready within about 10 or 15 minutes if I need to be.  Who knows?  This may be my last post before we introduce our newest family member to the world!  Can't wait!



I'll leave you with this cute picture of my babies keeping cool in the heat!  Love them!
