41 Weeks...

Well, here is my last weekly belly picture. I guess I might take another one tomorrow as the official "last" belly shot before the induction begins.

So tomorrow is the big day, and I'm very very ready at this point. I'm going to meet my son tomorrow and I can't wait!

Well...

I'm not gonna lie. This sucks. I want him to come so bad and every day it gets harder to think about ANYTHING else.

At least I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, where I will hopefully leave with an eviction notice for the little one.

An Open Letter to My Unborn Child on His Due Date

Dearest William,

Today is your due date, son. I know that those words and this date don’t mean much to you…but they mean a lot to your daddy and I. They mean that we have been waiting for you for 40 weeks, almost 10 months, or 280 days.

We really want to meet you, and show you just how much we love you. We want to hold you in our arms and give you tiny baby kisses on your sweet forehead, cheeks, fingers and toes. We want to show you off to everyone we know and everyone that you’ll come to know in time. We want you to meet your grandparents, and your great-grandparents…and even your great-great-grandmother. We want you to see your beautiful room and all of the things that you already have, thanks to the many people that love you despite never having met you.

Most of all, we just want you, and I just want to let you know that you are welcome to come at anytime…we are more than ready!

Love Always,
Mommy and Daddy

And here is the picture...

Things are happening...

Even if they aren't maybe happening fast enough for me...things are happening "down there". I've been having some contractions, albeit not the kind that are at all timeable or regular...just the kind that make you think that your body is trying to get the party started.

Oh, and per my doctor...I'm "a good" 1.5 cm dilated, so that gives me hope, as I was only "a fingertip" (yes I know that is a crude way to measure anything) dilated as of last week, and the week before. Maybe my body really DOES know what it is supposed to be doing? That would be a first.

AND now...back to work!
