Time stands still...

I am experiencing what my doctor calls the "baby still in blues". Every day seems like 4...the last few months have flown by, but for some reason the last week or so has seemed like an ETERNITY!! I'm so ready to meet my daughter already!!! Everything is ready for her arrival...everything has been washed, the pack'n'play is set up, the swing...we even have the carseat base installed in the car...NOW ALL WE NEED IS A BABY!!! :)

Everyone says when you're in labor "you'll know", but every time I have the slightest contraction or pain, I think to myself, "Is this it??" And alas...it is not!! Sleeping has become a joke (I guess God's way of preparing me for the upcoming sleepless nights), my legs, ankles and feet are so swollen that I feel like I'm looking at someone else's legs at times! Todd's new favorite game is "push really hard into my ankle and make a dent, then count how long it takes to look normal again". It's quite amusing for him...less for me.

I have 11 days left until my due date...as if that means anything anyways...my doctor is not opposed to inducing, so I do have that going for me...if I don't go on my own by my due date, he might be inclined to induce shortly thereafter. I'm voting for going naturally BEFORE my due date, though...but after Christy gets back from Hawaii (which is Sunday, I might add... :)

Well, pray that this little bundle comes out SOON!! Mommy is ready to hold her baby in her arms, not her tummy!!! :)
