Counting Down

Back from my 38 week appointment and still hanging in. I was hoping to have dilated some after having contractions over the weekend, but no--still just over a one. Now it is a countdown to Thursday.

Have to be at the hospital at 5 am. They will start everything, the doctor will break my water and then we will have a baby. I am hoping for a quick labor and easy delivery. The baby may have other ideas.

I am growing very anxious. Ready to hold the baby. Ready to have the labor over with. Scared to have the labor. Scared to hold the baby. Just nervous.

I will be glad when it is all over!!! Then I can settle into a routine.

Hope the next post is one filled with news of the labor and delivery and a healthy baby.
