We have an official countdown unless Baby Shep decides to make its own agenda! lol!
I went to the doctor again last thursday and she was surprised I hadn't already had the baby! I had been 80% effaced for two weeks! But thursday she said I was basically 100% thinned and about 3cm dilated. She thinks I may not dilate completely on my own because of where the tumor is but she was pretty certain that inducing me would get things going pretty quick. So... we are scheduled for an induction wednesday morning! Ahhhh!!! Thats TOMORROW!!!
This whole pregnancy I haven't really thought much about labor and the whole idea of actually having the baby.. lol, i know, who would think about that?! I'm not nervous about the labor process, no, I've never had a child before but I have had a few major surgeries and am fairly certain I will be ok. I know its going to hurt like the dickens and I could be in labor for hours on end... that doesn't worry me. The idea of actually being a parent scares me to death!!
I am very excited about becoming a mother, don't get me wrong. Its just now setting in that we WILL become parents. There is no going back!! I know Dallas is going to be an excellent father. I love watching him with my niece, it just melts my heart! And I think we'll make a good team as parents. I'm just starting to get nervous about it... I mean surely thats normal to be a little nervous right?!
And I think not knowing if its a girl or a boy makes me a little more nervous. Like I just haven't prepared myself for either I guess. Not that it matters. We'll love it to the moon and back either way. I can't wait to hear Dallas tell me whether we've got a little boy or a little girl. That is just so exciting! And maybe I'm just mixing all the excitment with the nerves... who knows! Its just a feeling I can't hardly describe and now I'm just rambling! So enough of that!
Baby Sheps room is basically complete :) And, we've got a bag basically packed... so, we're making progress! We have waited til the last minute but thats okay!!! Today I'll get the carseat in the car and finish doing a few things on my "to do" list!
Sunday night was my last night to work! I'm sure going to miss my coworkers while I'm off work! But I am very excited to get to spend some time at home with the baby, especially during the holidays :)
