New Baby?

It is now June 4th, my Dr. Set due date was May 31st. I have had contractions on and off for about three weeks. Sometimes they get really good, like last Thursday night when I thought for sure I would be in full labor by the morning only to have them stop around 4 am and not start up again since then. I have had little ones off and on, but nothing steady.

I took work off since the Friday before last wanting to be sure I had wrapped up everything so that when it did happen I wasn't leaving loose ends. I still went in everyday, but only for a couple hours as we were focusing on getting the fence built and with the possibility of going into labor any minute I can't really get into any projects. I think it is the limbo period that is the hardest part, that and not being able to sleep cause my whole body aches from being tired of being pregnant.

Now the fence is done. Work is wrapped up, baby is moving like crazy and my tummy can't really stretch much farther. We will see the doctor again today to see what progress has been made. I have this crazy internal struggle going on of wanting the contractions to start good and strong, but also being a little nervous about how things will go once they do. I am really excited to meet this baby and to find out if it is a boy or a girl. I am super excited to have Weston become a big brother, though I am sad that he will not be my baby anymore. With this little one in the belly I can still kinda hold him and cuddle him, but when the baby is out, we will have to come up with some creative maneuvering to make room for both.

Here's to hoping we can move onto the next chapter soon!
