Stick a Fork in My A**...

Because I am done...


This is from Friday.  
We had a doctor's appointment where I shared all the false starts and sundry signs that, in a normal person, would indicate Pickle's imminent arrival.  Our doctor ordered us home to pick up our bags and to head to the hospital for monitoring and possible check-in... 



This from today:  My due date...
An observant person may note two distinct facts: I am still pregnant.  And secondly, it is possible to grow more in just two short days.

The bottom line is Pickle just doesn't feel like it yet.  

In recent days, I've decided he's become less of a Pickle and more of a Vampire because every single night he gets ready and starts to at least pretend to be thinking about getting out.  

Then morning comes and he stays right where he is. 

Oh well...


*******************************
And Pickle, if you read this in the coming years, I'm not really mad and I don't really wish for dining utensils to be inserted into my skin anywhere. We're just ready to meet you.  

But, I do really wish you'd move out of me and into your own room.  

Also, if this is a sign of things to come, let me be clear on one thing:  We are so excited for you to live with us for years and years.  

And by years, I mean until you are 18-22ish...Not until you are 40.  

See you soon, little guy.

At least you look fabulous? :P But I understand, I hope he comes out to meet you soon, and all goes easy and quick for you.

I guess you're probably realizing what I meant when I said "towards the end you're so sick of being pregnant that you don't care what you have to do to get the baby out" lol

Who knows...you might be heading to the hospital while I write these very words!! :D

You'll be holding that little munchkin before you know it! And I can hardly wait to hear the happy news. I hope it goes as well as one can hope a birth can go.

You're a champ! Be brave! :D *hugs*
