Waiting impatiently that is!! Haha
I started my maternity leave, which is glorious but leaving me with a lot of free time. I'm filling that free time with cookies, so..
Last scheduled doctor appointment is tomorrow so I'm not sure what happens after that .. I assume they'll schedule one more then start talking inductions.
Our cloth diaper stockpile will be complete this week.
We're just so anxious for our little baby boy - whenever you're ready sir!!! Ugh!! :p

    I had never heard of padsicles before and now I really wish I had had them after my first L&D experience. It's such a brilliant idea!

    @b&k - I sorta surfed the web for ideas and winged it. I decided a whole padcicle may be .. Overwhelming? .. So I got the smaller cotton round pads (like by the cotton balls) and mixed a travel size bottle of aloe and whitch hazel until watery, not gel-y. Then soaked the cotton pad, froze them on a tray. Made about 30. I figure I can use two at a time if wanted, or just one where I need it. Idk, I'm not sure what to expect haha .. But it sounds soothing!

    @jandr I read about them on another forum .. I'd rather have them and not want them then to be the other way around!

    @turtle you guys are SO close as well!! Keep us posted!! :)

    Haha family is checking in on us daily now!! We're just days from the due date (Friday). I've been working out the whole pregnancy so walking doesn't do much .. Everything else seems like a old wives tale. Gonna see about membrane sweep at appt on Thursday. We won't go any longer than 41 weeks (NEXT Friday, ugh) as we'd rather not risk it for no gain. So by next Friday I WILL I an announcement!! Haha cant wait to share!! Ahhhhh!! <3

    YOURE anxiously waiting?? :p Had appt today, she swept my membranes .. I'm having some light contractions so hopefully that progresses .. Time will tell. Doc felt very confident we'd be having a baby before next week!

    Idk if I've mentioned it, or mentioned it lately but exactly one year ago today we found out we lost our first pregnancy. It was soul crushing. I actually miscarried on the 16th, a year to our due date. What a perfect rainbow baby, it would really complete the story to have him tomorrow.

    Otherwise we'll set an induction date Monday. I will keep everyone updated!
