Here I am, on the eve of my due date! I can't believe it's finally here - I've been saying how much I'm looking forward to 12.12 for so long, and we're only a few hours away. While it doesn't mean baby, it means that it's baby time. At any moment, this could happen!
I've been hoping today might be helping to build up to labor. I had a good night's sleep last night and a bundle of energy today. I've been tackling cleaning the entire house. I've been walking and climbing stairs constantly. I've been bouncing on the ball whenever I do sit down. I'm awake and alert and my cervix freaking hurts. Come on labor, I"m ready for you.
The tiny snow storm that only lasted about two hours yesterday cancelled my 40 week appointment, and today they told me they're completely booked and to just wait until the next one. That's a full week away! Instead of getting checked out to see if I'm progressing, I get nothing at all, not even them saying what position baby is in or if he's engaged. I also didn't get to schedule a membrane sweep for next week. Since they're not helping me out, I'm just hoping things happen on their own and I don't need the next appointment. I'm really hoping to see them soon.
I'm doing my best to stay occupied with the last minute details I need to get done in case I go in the next few days. I need laundry done, most of the rooms cleaned, the porch decorated for Christmas, Katie needs a bath, I need to come up with a menu plan for when Bill starts cooking, I want to pick up doggie candy canes for the doggie Christmas stockings, etc. I'm working on the cleaning portion now and it's definitely helping my mental state and giving me more of an energy boost.
Come on baby Will, the sooner the better now!
