Tomorrow I am being induced!!! Well, hopefully. Assuming that the Amnio comes back positive for lung maturity. If all is well we go back tomorrow night for the induction! I'm pretty sure everything will come back fine. She's a big girl. They're guessing she'll weigh in at about 7 1/2-8lbs. I have a feeling we'll be taking back all of the newborn sized clothes we have.
I am so excited to not be pregnant anymore! Yesterday I broke down crying because I was so frustrated. Joe and I went on a breakfast picnic. First of all I had to sit on the ground because my pregnant body and my McDonald's platter didn't fit on the bench and I couldn't put it on my lap because I haven't been able to close my legs for a week now. Second, We were playing bocce ball and I couldn't bend over to pick up my balls, I had to wait for Joe. The icing on the cake was when we got home I went to shut the car door but forgot about my giant stomache and slammed the door into myself. So, here I am balling my eyes out in front of our house with the neighbors staring at me. All I can I could manage to say was "I don't want to be pregnant anymore" I cried for like 20 minutes. Then I started laughing hysterically because I realized how absolutely ridiculous the whole morning was. Thank you Elder Wirthlin for reminding me to laugh! Poor Joe has no idea what he got himself into.
It still hasn't hit me yet that I'm bringing home a baby this week. It all seems so surreal. I have no idea what it will be like. I'm way excited though. I've already got our first few little outings planned. I just can't wait to hold her and see what she looks like.
I've decided I'm going to brave it and use a viewing mirror to watch the birth. I figure it's a once in a lifetime thing and I might regret it later and if it's too gruesome I'll just have them whisk it away!
Hopefully next time I write on here I'll be writing about my beautiful daughter!

I remember feeling that way at the end of Daschel's pregnancy, like nothing would be better until the baby was here. I'm so excited for you! Good luck tomorrow!
I can't wait to see your beautiful baby girl! It is so surreal to think about bringing a baby home at the end of this week. Maybe on Halloween! I wish you the best of luck and please let me know if you need anything! Good luck!
Best of luck you two! I hope all goes as smooth as can be. Everyone can hardly wait to see that little girl!
Yay! I'm so excited for you guys. I'll have to call Leslie to get the scoop! Take care and kudos to you for watching the birth via mirror.
Yay! I'm so excited for you! Good luck, calm, long breathing and many ice chips to you!
Don't forget to take tons of pictures. The mirror will be awesome. You won't even believe it's you. There's nothing better than a newborn baby. Can't wait to see her. Let me know what I can do to help.
