So the last few days like clockwork at 5 pm, I have started that whole icky pre-labor stuff. I have been feeling crampy, and have a few really good Braxton Hicks that make me stop in my tracks--- nothing regular or anything that I can time consistently. I've started dilating and effacing. (we won't divulge how I know) I think the "actual" day is a ways off, but it has sunk in that I am really getting close. I will probably be that woman who walks around at a 4 for weeks.
We got Brigham a new car seat, which the first couple of days of use did not go over too well with him. All the baby clothes are washed, and hung up. The room will get painted next week. When I bought Brigham's car seat I realized there are other things that we need to get- diapers for one. What was I thinking, that I would put this 8 lbs newborn in a size 4 diaper??!!! So I am going around the house trying to figure out what I need to get- diapers, pacifiers, etc. All the stuff I need to replace in the 2 1/2 years since we have had a newborn around.
One other thing--- baby stores are so sly! When buying Brigham's car seat, I kept saying to myself how much cuter and more neat some of the baby things have gotten since I had Brigham! That's not fair!!!! If I wasn't so cheap I would go out and buy all the new and more cute stuff. How dare those baby stores play on my pregnancy hormones! :>
Good news- Matt saw my OB in the OR yesterday, and told her that his vacation has been switched. She said she would induce me on the 12th, that is of course if I don't go on my own, but I am not counting on it.
