No Baby Yet.

Well, here we are, almost a week after my last appointment and we have no baby to report of yet.  I've been having mild/medium contractions all week long, they come and go--never steady enough to even call the hospital.  I was able to work all week long, though, I did take a half day Wednesday just to get a little extra rest as I've been feeling utterly exhausted for the last couple of weeks.  

My students come in every morning and check my belly to see if it's "gone" yet.  :)  I sometimes think they're more anxious to have the baby out than I am!  I don't think they realize yet that I'll be out for quite a while.  They are not too fond of my replacement, I have found, as they voiced their concern at me leaving them with her on Thursday morning before she arrived.  They asked me to promise to not leave them again, it almost made me cry!  

I know that Rebecca is hoping for a delivery today since it is her son, Noah's, birthday today!  My actual due date is the same day that Noah was due when she was preggo with him a couple of years ago so wouldn't it be something to have this one on the same day?  :)  My dad is hoping for a birthday tomorrow because it's his birthday and I'm just hoping the SOONER THE BETTER!  I have hit the "pregnancy wall" that I had always heard so many people talking about but never believed actually happened.  I always just thought that those people were whiners and complainers who couldn't handle it.  I was dead wrong.  It really does get to a point where you are so uncomfortable and so tired of being big and tired that you just want it over and you just want to have your baby in your arms.  I am anxious to actually stay awake at night because I have to take care of the baby as opposed to stay awake all night because the baby can't stop trying to get comfortable inside of me.  

All that being said, she's going to be born and God knows when she'll be born and it will be a wonderful and glorious day!  We are so excited to finally meet our little bundle of pink!  We finished up the nursery this week and I'll have to hold of posting pictures of it because her name is all over the place :)  Shouldn't be too long, though!

P.S. I will be taking a long walk and cleaning up the house really nicely today in hopes that maybe we can stimulate some labor :)
