When will you make your appearance, Little One?

It's been a pretty quiet week as we're approaching the big Due Date. I've been enjoying these last few days of being newborn free. Getting a full nights sleep...taking naps...not being exhausted...I know this time is quickly slipping away and very soon - for the third time - we'll be at the mercy of a 7 pound infant.

I've been having some mild contractions this evening. About 5 or 6 during the past 4 1/2 hours. Nothing to get too excited about...but enough to make sure we have everything ready to go if it is time. Since I had a false alarm night with Noah, I'm a little more cautious about jumping to conclusions that it's the real thing. I'll believe it when the contractions really start hurting and getting very close together.

But regardless (unless he pops out in the next 2 1/2 hours) he will have a November 20-something birthday. I see my doctor again on Monday, and if I actually do make it to that appointment, then we'll schedule an induction for later in the week. She said she'll only let me go a week late, and if she lets me pick the day then we'll go with Friday. So at the latest, he'll be here by then. But lets hope it won't take that long...

There goes another one...maybe it will be tonight after all.

(Sunday morning: no baby)
