Almost there!

It feels like I have been pregnant FOREVER, in fact it's been all of 2012!! Tomorrow is d-day! I am going crazy. I've been having contractions for 3 weeks now! The first time it happened it was right after we went to bed and I made Colin time it, but he ended up falling asleep...so I decided I might as well just go to sleep and if was really happening it would wake me up. So I have been convinced she was going to come early, and now that we have approached the day I'm worried that it's going to be another week! Every time the contractions start I can't help that hope it's about to be the real thing!! Yep, going crazy here. I had an appointment yesterday morning and my midwife thinks it will be soon...but who knows what that means! I know she's coming soon but how soon!? :) (a week in the scheme of things, really is soon). She also took a shot at estimating the birth weight at about 8 pounds. She said she likes to estimate the weight and see how close she gets but not to hold her to it. So we'll have to wait and see!

Yesterday was my last day of work and today I feel so relieved. It's not that my job is physically demanding or really stressful it's just been exhausting to get up and go every morning and also the unknown of when this baby is coming just adds to it all! So today I really have nothing planned; catch up on some blog posts, clean, watch some daytime TV, organize the baby clothes, take a walk, maybe sit in the pool...just try to enjoy this time! If I'm still pregnant next week though I'm going to make a plan for every day so I'm not just sitting around staring at my belly!
