This Month

So, I'll steal this topic from a conversation I had earlier with Barbie.

I'M DUE THIS MONTH!!

Yes. That's right. In theory I should be having my child the 29th of this month, which is a mere 3.5 weeks (give or take) away. Through out my pregnancy I assumed I'd deliver in May (I'm due the 29th - I assumed I'd go late) but any more, I am realizing it could happen ANY minute.

Through most of the pregnancy I've told myself that I'd like the chance to go into labor naturally. I assumed that if I went into the doctor's office on or around my due date and they discussed induction I'd tell them I'd like to just wait it out a little while and see if he comes on his own. Anymore though I'm getting more and more eager to meet the little guy.

What's scary is I feel like our lives have been getting busier and busier to try and prepare for the little bundle of joy and I'm afraid we'll never get everything done that we want to. The past two weekends I have scrubbed the house from top to bottom (ONLY TWO MORE ROOMS TO GO!) and Ryan has been taking any free time he has to make some progress on Jude's bathroom. However, I feel like every time I cross some minor task off the list I think of something else that I'd like to get done before he comes (same with my pre-delivery shopping list - it just keeps growing!). It's probably just the hormones, or maybe I'm just using him as an excuse to get some stuff done around here! Either way, it'll be nice to everything done.

Even though I know he'll be a ton of work, I'm looking forward to seeing his little face and sitting around the house doing 'nothing' for hours on end with him.
