If you’re all checking our blog to see if this baby has arrived you will be disappointed, not more disappointed than me because I don’t think that is possible.
I am now 39 weeks, and no I don’t have a photo. Tomorrow I go in for a check up and I’ll be scheduled for an induction on Thursday. I’m hoping that things have progressed more and that this kiddo wont need much encouragement to come out and see us.
In the extra weeks we’ve had waiting for him to come we’ve done tons around the house. And by we I really mean Ben. I make my “Wish List” every weekend and he gets almost everything done on them. He’s amazing, I know. You’re jealous, I understand. Our house is now decluttered (YAY!), nearly every single room has been rearranged, has new shelves, a fixed shower door (who cares if Ben broke it while he was trying to fix it and then had to really really fix it; it was still fixed), a mirror in the master bathroom, the clock is hung above the mantle, Asher has had tons of dad-bonding time, mom has gotten some much needed napping. Old baby clothes have been dug out of the garage (Ben) and washed and put away (me), along with rotating clothes that don’t fit Asher now being boxed away for later. And some items have been designated to go to Good Will. Oh, we also lost a car last week. Not really, but kind of. My brother went into the Marines and his wife and kids went to stay with her family. Well they had a second car they were good enough to drop off and let us use. It was amazing having a second car and we are going through withdraws! But my husband is even the best when it came to the car pick up because he was good enough to work from home the day it was supposed to be picked up by the car service. The semi ended not being able to pull down our street because it is too narrow so Ben drove the car to the semi and then walked home… while I napped. Isn’t he amazing?
I seriously have the best husband ever. And to those of you who say, “no no, my husband is the best!” Let me just remind you that even though I technically have not reached my due date I have been under the impression for 3 WEEKS that this kid would be born. My doctor surprised us at the end of December saying that he might make his appearance around January 1st. So being pregnant 3 weeks longer than anticipated does not make for a nice, calm wife. It makes for a more hormonal, emotion and probably irrational wife. So my husband beats all of yours because he’s been SO amazing and patient and wonderful.
We hope you are all having a wonderful start to the new year and we should have a baby no later than Friday, unless my doctor changes her mind tomorrow about inducing on Thursday. And if she does I’m sure you’ll all want to check back in to read a hormonal venting session!
