Out of the loop

I've been neglecting my blog that I really wanted to do good with. I've been busy with work, packing and moving, then unpacking and nesting. Baby was due yesterday and is still incubating. Apparently he is happy inside the womb. I have had minor stomach aches and constant Braxton Hicks contractions, but no loss of the infamous "mucus plug" or any sign of my membranes rupturing. I'm more tired than normal, but I think when you're carrying around a 7+ lb baby inside you, I guess that is grounds for added fatigue. My mom arrived on the 9th and I was soooo worried that she was going to miss his birth. lol..not even close!

In the meantime, I've been walking a lot and I've had a few glasses of wine to relax my anxiety; neither which have worked. I don't plan on drinking castor oil or any herbs. He will come when he is ready to come and I will patiently wait it out.

Dear son,

I'm getting excited by the minute. My phone continues to ring off the hook with everyone wanting to know when you're making your grand entrance into this world. It's nerve wracking knowing that you are coming soon, but not so soon. I happen to think you're going to wait out the weekend and that is kind of a bummer.

We're ready for you though. Gran gran knit you a beautiful hat and mittens for the cold weather you are going to endure when you are born; it's just that time of year.

The diaper service has started, all of your clothes are washed and waiting to be used and there are plenty of people with ants in their pants to come and meet you:)

How am I doing you ask? Well, I'm still sleeping pretty well and moving around, although sometimes it is really difficult if you know what I mean!

Oh and Sherlock? He is aware you're on your way out, he is all over me and always wanting to be held or pet. He's just layin' around the house waiting for his dog walker to pick him up b/c he knows what that means!

Anyhow, we're all very excited to meet you, hold you and welcome you to this world with all the love we have to offer. Here's to meeting you soon and I definitely mean soon please:) xxo

Love mommie!
