Today – 39 weeks, 4 days… and COUNTING!!! I was clinging to the information that the midwife shared with us during our visit 2 weeks ago. It’s not too uncommon to have your second child a week sooner than the first. Well, by my calculations, Ayden was born during the first half of his 38th week… making this baby ready to crash the party early in the 37th week… TWO WEEKS AGO. I had also held out hope that he would arrive prior to my birthday (April 27th), so that hewouldn’t have to live his life with his Mom stealing his birthday thunder every year! No luck. He’s not budging. We’ve been researching all of the old-wives-tales about triggering labor and contractions… none of them work. I figure this child will arrive when he’s damn well ready, and it’s obviously going to be on HIS terms. As those sharing my household fully understand, I am D-O-N-E being pregnant, and I’m more than ready to share this little “bundle of joy” with whomever wants to hold him. I just want to be able to see my toes again, shave my legs in the shower, fit into some fashionable clothing that doesn’t resemble a teepee, and be able to walk up the stairs without getting winded. Good GOD, enough already! Oh, and I’m of course anxious to meet the newest member of our family. I just want him to get here!!! Please!!!
I was wondering if all was quiet because you were busy with a new little one! Guess not. I am sure he will be here very soon. Just walk, walk, walk and he will come. Heather and I went shopping at the mall and with all that walking I had Ana the next day. Rest up and enjoy the last few days of only having one boy to chase after!
Can’t wait to see him! Post pictures as soon as he’s born. You look…absolutely PREGGERS!!!
