Near The End

That’s correct. We are almost there. This stubborn child will not consent to come early, despite my pleading and negotiating. I guess I’m a good cocoon or something. We are 39w2 today and fully within an acceptable range for his debut. We thought for (almost) sure he was coming on Saturday night… I was having contractions every 3-5 min that lasted 45-60 seconds… for 5 hours. But when I went to try and get some sleep and see how they went. I fell asleep and woke up Sunday morning with nada. It may have been the fault of the castor oil I tried. But it was almost exciting. Ps. Castor oil=failure. It did clean out my system… which I will admit is kind of nice seeing as it gets difficult to do while pregnant. Other than that effect and contractions… baby A is staying put. Come on child. I have been pregnant for 66 weeks out of the past 74 weeks. That’s 15/17 months Yah. I'm done. And now that I am down to the final week, it feels like these last couple days are longer than the last year and half. Patience is not a virtue I possess. And we are nearing Max’s birthday. He was born February 11^th, 2012. His first birthday would be in a couple weeks and I don’t want to be too overwhelmed with a newborn that I forget it or we can’t do anything to make it special. I just want to fast foward until A is out and I can kiss his little toes and look at his little face. I want my hubby to be able to hold him and see his son. I also want to be comfortable in my own body again.  These last few weeks of sleeping has been uncomfortable, verging on painful. I am really close to complaining. But not quite yet. If he goes past his due date I will go into full fledged complaining. And whining. 

His room is done. completely. And I am really proud of it, so I thought I'd share.
