Ready... Or Not?



So I just got back from my 37 week doctor's appointment and I'm making quite a bit of progress already. I'm 1cm dilated and 50% effaced and she said the baby could come at any time. He's weighing in at approximately 7-7.5 lbs. This is all well and good but I'm not quite sure I'm ready yet!! I mean his clothes are washed.. his crib is set up... my hospital bag is (sort of) packed... the swing is out... boppy ready... and Leah is sleeping nicely in her new big girl room. BUT... I'm enjoying sleeping through the night (sort of.. when I don't have to get up and pee!) and enjoying the peace and easiness of only having one child. Leah's just so easy and I have a feeling that once Chase gets here it's going to be CHAOS! Controlled chaos hopefully! My back is starting to hurt and my belly has expanded I'm sure (or not) all that it can possibly expand, and added a few new stretch marks (BOOO!) and my feet are swollen and I'm constantly tired. So in that respect I'm ready. Ready to sleep on my stomach again! But I guess ready or not, he will come when HE is ready! Whether that's this week or not until mid-June (GOOD GOD I HOPE NOT). I'm trying to at least hang on until next weekend.. we have a wedding to go to on Saturday so Saturday night or Sunday would be good. Plus my mother-in-law, who will be staying with Leah when the baby comes, has work until then and my mom, who will be coming out 2 weeks after baby is born (to relieve Tim when he goes back to work) also has school until the first week of June so there's really no rush.. Oh well.. these are just my rambling 37 week pregnant brain thoughts. Have a look at some cute pictures we took at the river yesterday. XOXO, Sarah
