I had my 38 week doctor's visit today. He tried to strip my membranes a bit to possibly help things along but I'm not sure it will do much. It didn't even hurt as much as I thought it would. It did the trick for my sister and her water broke that same night her doctor stripped her membranes at 39 weeks and my neighbor was telling me her doctor did the same with her second baby and she went into labor three days after. So who knows we shall see but it sure is exciting now waiting for those first signs of labor :) I feel soooo much better from my cold and am regaining my energy back so I feel like I am ready to go into labor at any point now! The baby room is completely ready, we even set up our new drop cam that we got so we are ready to go…even the diaper bag is packed! ;)
I'm also in a good place with work related stuff…my contract is signed to officially begin in private practice June 1, my degree is being conferred this month and I should have my books and degree by March 1 or 2! Yippie! I pulled out of tomorrow's equine workshop that I was suppose to help run but decided that I am simply too pregnant to be outside around horses for 4 hours running a workshop. I have been reading a lot of therapy books, brushing up on my clinical skills and also started the outline of chapters for my book, and the curriculum for the support group I want to do once I start working. So I feel like I am in a good place and get to take it easy until the baby comes! Of course Maia is keeping me busy enough and things never get bored around here but at least I am not stressed. Tomorrow for example, I am going for a walk in the morning to get some exercise, then squeezing in what may be my last manicure/pedicure for a while, getting a car wash and hopefully picking up my new business cards with my official new title Ph.D yippie! Monday is my birthday and if baby boy hasn't come over the weekend or on my birthday (what a great birthday present that would be..or not LOL) I will be having lunch with Brad at Yard Bird to celebrate. I didn't want to do anything at night and Saturday we are already going for dinner with Linda, my brother and his girlfriend to Pubbelly Sushi.
Some nights I get more sleep than others. Brad and I have been tearing through season two of house of cards (such a great show!) and just finished last night. So naturally my bed time has been between 11-11:30pm and the nights that I get cramp I get less sleep than really needed. Maia has been sleeping like a baby as of late until last night she decided she needed to wake up at 3am and then again at 4am. Ugh, I was so tired. I went and sat with her and she was so clingy making a scene when I left the room. Sometimes, I wonder if she senses that the baby is coming and needs to squeeze in some extra mammi time ;)
Excited to see family trickling in over the next few weeks. My in-laws are coming end of next week and I think my dad and Linda are as well. Fun times ahead!
Come on baby boy…we want to meet you!!
