Thoughts on waiting for BABY.

On our front, Justin is well into the swing of things and being successful : )

I am patiently waiting 2 more weeks+ for baby to come and have not had very much discomfort. More water weight issues than anything else, but my blood pressure is fine so the doctors are not worried about preeclampsia. At last check on last Tuesday my cervix was still completely closed. I still have a few nursing items I need to pick up, mainly, and then finish packing snacks for the hospital and we should be good to go.

Delnor Community Hospital is gorgeous! I took a tour this passed Thursday and was so impressed by the facilities and the little purks like flat screen TVs in the birthing rooms and snacks constantly available at snack stations, oh, and a free massage for the mother postpartum in the hospital. Those will be fun things to help ease the more difficult circumstances.

It is so scary to think that I am going to be a Mom, like giving birth automatically qualifies me for it or something...I guess I really only see an official Mom as one with several kids who can already talk. I am excited and scared for this grand event but what scares me most is that unlike other grand events, this one has a beginning but then will not end. Justin is very excited and we are both so happy and nervous to welcome this little one into our lives.
