LB (which no longer stands for Little Blip but Little Boy), :)
It's been awhile since I wrote to you but the time sure has flown. I can't believe we are almost at 40 weeks! I have been on maternity leave for the last week and a half and I have to admit I am getting very anxious to have labor over and done with and to finally hold you in my arms. I never thought I'd say that, all along I've been willing you to go the distance and stay in till your due date. Just two weeks ago I was having a panic attack in the car after a dr's appointment worrying about the pain and any complications with the delivery. I was also worrying about what my new life would be like and if I'd be able to cope. It all felt so overwhelming and scary. I've really marveled at how the body prepares the mind for this journey. I'm now at the point where I'm so uncomfortable and tired of being pregnant that I feel ready and able to take on the challenge of labor and motherhood. Let's do this! As of 6 days ago. I was 80% effaced and closed (no dialation). Yesterday, I started taking some active steps to try and get things moving along. I walked for 20 mins at a brisk pace on the treadmill. I ate "The Salad" at a restaurant called Ciotie which is rumored to kickstart labor and Daddy and I did "the deed" since that has been said to help start contractions. So far, I feel the same. This afternoon I have an appt with Dr. Silverman for a 3D ultrasound to check your weight and make sure I have enough fluid. I'm really hoping you'll come today or tomorrow, I don't want to be induced and I don'[t want to go another week or 2!! I feel like I'll go crazy! So if you can hear my thoughts LB, you've been so good to Mommy, you've made this pregnancy so wonderful and easy. One last favor, come on out now! Daddy wants to hold you! xo
