Still Pregnant

Okay, I know I have 5 weeks left before my due date, but this whole being pregnant for longer than 30 weeks is exhausting!  Don't get me wrong, I'm glad our baby hasn't made a surprise entrance like the girls, but I'm not such a fan of all this uncomfortableness (is that even a word? I'm too tired to  check. . .sorry). 

As of my last doctor's appointment:
1. I am dilated one centimeter
2. If labor starts, I'm far enough along that they won't stop it
3. I signed all my consent forms for the VBAC. 
4. I agreed to getting an epidural in case something goes wrong and I have to have another c-section.
  *I wanted to have a natural child-birth, but that's okay.
5. Reserved my deluxe private room at the hospital.  Sounds fancy, but it really just guarantees that I won't have to share a room if there is over-crowding. 

As of this weekend:
1. Mate and I are in complete nesting mode.  We cleaned out closets, the basement, the refrigerator and organized, organized, organized. 
2. The infant car seat is ready to go. 
3. We started packing for the hospital.
4. We made sure to appreciate spending time as a family of four.
5. We realized it's going to be a long 5 weeks if nothing happens before my due date.

Needless to say, we are anxious to meet this little boy or girl!
