So. . . . I'm on the schedule! Tomorrow morning- 9am I check into the hospital to be induced! I really wanted to experience labor, but how much longer would I have to wait?? The thought of it coming as a surprise scares me. I like be prepared. I want to be showered and ready for the day. I want my bags to be packed. I want to feel ready. Last night I was having what I thought were contractions- and lots of them. I couldn't sleep most of the night thinking that I was in labor. Every time I'd wake up (and believe me- it was a LOT) I'd think, "This is it. I better shower and get ready to go to the hospital!" No such luck. Morning came and no "real" labor pains. I got up at 6am and decided to get started with my day. And what a productive day it was!
Here's just a few things I was able to accomplish on my last day of having only one kid:
* 55 minutes on the elliptical, followed by weights and squats (I tell ya, I've been doing everything possible to get this baby out!)
* Hanging out with friends, complete with a train ride around the Rio, interactive music with the kids, and the train table/ story time at Barnes and Noble
* A good solid hour nap
* Grocery shopping- stocked the fridge
* Cleaned the kitchen
* Mopped all the floors in the house (of course on hands and knees- with mom insisting that I stop :)
* Laundry
* Payed bills
* Packed my bag
* Charged all cameras
* And ended the day hanging out with Mom and Spencer, watching movies and getting a heavenly foot rub (thanks mom :)!
I think I'm ready. I'm excited, a little nervous, but definitely feel prepared. Bring on the LABOR!
