Monday Monday

Here it is, the second "working day" of my leave. As Caden is still intent on staying safe and warm in my tummy- I have decided to unpack my laptop and make another attempt at blogging (just trying to have everything ready for the hospital when the time comes...and St Joe has WIFI in the recovery room :) gotta have it ready to send those first adorable pics...oh and to keep chad occupied). My last Dr's appointment was on Friday. The baby's heartbeat was 140. I have gained another two pounds- which is not surprising since I lost a pound the week prior. Dr Greene guesstimated, by touch, that Caden is around 7 1/2 lbs. I was dilated 2 1/2 centimers (still not enough and, since I wasn't having any contractions at the time, he didn't think it was necessary to send me to the hospital then :( ) I suppose that is all fine and well that he isn't in a hurry to induce me at my whim. I am. however, being a little selfish I suppose. I am very uncomfortable (that's what they teach you to call pain in those childbirth classes LOL) and tired of carrying his fat little butt. I am also anxious to see him - and of course to share him with the rest of the world..but most of all, I am excited at the prospect of seeing his Daddy hold him in his arms for the very first time. My camera is packed, so someone please get a picture of that for me. I am sure I will be too exhausted. Chad is just as anxious/nervous as I am- if not more. It's very sweet actually. I am sure when the time comes I will be wired, but for now I am just ready for some sign that it's time to make our way to the hospital. My next visit is Friday the 12th (haha better than Friday the 13th), my appointed "due date" but the doctor said I should not expect to keep it. He, in his infinite wisdom, seems to think that we will be holding our baby before the week is out. Until then I will just have to occupy myself with cleaning and moaning and groaning. I will try to keep you posted.
