It's Almost Time

So based on the doc's visit I had yesterday, I really don't think it'll be much longer. I am scheduled for an induction exactly one month from today (4/19) so it definitely won't be past that.

Some things that would surprise me about this delivery:

- I'd be surprised if this little girl comes out weighing more then her brother did. He came out at 6 pounds at 38.5 weeks. I gained a total of 30 pounds with him (which I lost within a 3 months). So far with her, I've only gained 20 pounds and I seem to be stagnating on weight gain.

- I'd be surprised if she actually let's me go to my induction date. Whether it's because I go into labor or because I have low fluids like I did last time and had to be induced.

So far, I've been having contractions for weeks now. Each week seems to be getting a bit harder and more often. This is a lot earlier then what happened last time. I've also been told I've "dropped". I find that funny simply because I'm so short to begin with, how can you tell! I'm still kinda hoping she waits til beginning of April but in all honesty, I'm okay with whatever she decides to tell my body. I'm excited about meeting her! Now, to get her dad to give her a name...

Introspection

Hopefully this doesn't sound completely crazy to everyone. The more I feel comfortable in my own skin, the more I see my many many short comings. Does that sound contradictory?

Anyway, a quick update. I'm 34 weeks pregnant. The doctors say if I go into labor now, they won't be stopping it. This baby moves like she has nothing else to do (she should be sleeping!) Then again so did her brother and he is an AWESOME sleeper. Even if he does still sleep in our bed for most of the night.

I've been having tons of contractions that are some what painful too. Doctor says it's very common for the second time around. Your body is better at having them...

Everything else looks good. She's a girl and Z is very very excited. No name yet. Still waiting on J to make a decision. I'm thinking it'll happen while we're driving to the hospital.

Hope everyone else is doing well!
