Well, at my appointment yesterday, it is officially any day now that Jeremy could come. For those of you who know the terms (so I don't have to get too graphic), I haven't started dilating, but effacement has started. The baby is at -2 to -1 station. 0 station means he is ready to come out.
It sure is a good thing that I stopped working. There's no way I would be at all prepared if I was still working. This week has been spent making many runs to Babies 'R' Us and any where else that has stuff I think I'll need. I have been doing lots of loads of laundry. I started packing my bag for the hospital. I still need to clean the house. I have started making some dishes to freeze so we don't have to worry about cooking for a little bit after the baby is born. I wonder if I'll ever feel like we are fully prepared and ready for the baby to come.
The top of my stomach is a rounded square now with how big the baby is and how he sits. When I look down at it, it definitely looks like I have some form of ball under it. I'd say a medium sized beach ball. It's bigger than a volleyball or a basketball.
They say the baby supposedly moves less this late in the pregnancy, but Jeremy is already being a rebel and moves like crazy still. I swear he break dances in there. I mean, he's on his head and it definitely feels like he is spinning around and around. Haha.
We got the best rocking chair ever from Josh's Mom and Grandmother. It is amazing! It is technically a 'glider' because it doesn't actually rock. Here's what it looks like:
I am sitting in it right now as I type this blog, and it is truly amazing. We also got the dresser and changing table from our landlord, so we are all set there.
I think we are as ready as we are going to be...
Any day now... It's pretty crazy to think about. I'm gonna have a baby, and Josh and I are going to be parents!

Yes you are. I love the chair and glad Josh got it put together so you could sit in it. They do cry (babies that is) and it's nice to have somewhere to sit, rock and nurse. Remember, you can't spoil a baby !!! When he cries, he needs something even if it's just to be held. By responding to him, you are teaching him that the world is a safe place and that he can depend on you. This is the most important lesson he will ever learn in life. If someone tries to tell you different, ignore them, I mean it. Wishing you a short labor and an easy delivery. Come on Jeremy, the east coast contingent is ready. Lucy is betting on tomorrow, your birthday, Mia. Twenty seven, good lord you are getting old but you'll never catch up with me. MJP/mom
