So...I'm still here, still pregnant, despite the fact that I've been at 4-5 cm since Friday night, if you can believe that. I feel just fine--actually more comfortable than I have in a while, but the mental strain of wondering if I'm going to go into labor at any moment is making me crazy! Thankfully, my OB doctor is a merciful woman and offered to induce me tomorrow morning, so I happily agreed! Tomorrow is my actual due date and is also my grandma's birthday, and I know she's been pulling all along for me to have the baby that particular day, so it looks like she'll get her wish!
Before I go all incommunicado, I wanted to show you this cute diaper cake that one of the ladies in The Mister's office made for us. It's a little bit different than the other diaper cakes I've seen in that it is diapers on the inside and then it was wrapped in baby blankets and wash cloths on the outside. She pinned little toys to the blankets and tucked all sorts of little baby
accoutrements inside the layers with the diapers.
I was just tickled to receive such a thoughtful gift and thought it was so creative of her!

YEH!! So excited for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI was literally in a hospital bed at 5 cm... after many hours of hard labor to get that far.
WOW, it's a good thing they're inducing... or you'd better park at the hospital entrance :)
I am so glad you are having your baby tomorrow! I can't wait to see the little guy! Please let me know how I can help.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the cake!

ReplyDeleteWOW! He's almost here! I know you're excited & totally ready. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteYipppeeee. I will be checking here and Facebook all day tomorrow and THINKING OF YOU and that sweet baby! Good luck. (I won't mention that I was induced for four straight days before Junior Mint made his arrival.....That would be rude.) Fingers crossed for a SPEEDY birth!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and best wishes for a smooth day tomorrow. What a lucky grandson! My cousin (10yrs my sr) and I share a birthday and it always made me feel so special as a kid. Looking forward to the day when you introduce us all to your little one. Until then, peace and sweet dreams! (i hope some sleep anyway!)
