Notice of Eviction!

Wow! Tomorrow I will be a mother! Wow!

So tomorrow will be Olive's birthday! We have to call the hospital at 6am to see if we can go to the hospital and get the process rolling. I am hoping since I am already dilated that it won't take too much drug wise to get things started.

I am really really excited and nervous at the same time. I know it will all be worth it, but the not knowing how its all going to go, is a bit nerve wracking! My mom is here hanging out with us tonight and my sisters will be here bright and early in the morning. My dad is going to wait and come up Sunday, I guess he must be nervous and doesn't want to hang out at the hospital, maybe because he now works at a hospital! I am just happy he is coming up this weekend though. Brad's mom is coming next Thursday to hang out with us for the weekend.

I really hope I can sleep tonight and my anxiety doesn't keep me up!! I have been feeling really good this whole pregnancy in terms of any anxiety issues, but now that the big day is here - Wow!!! I am so excited to meet her, it's insane!!

Yep I know life will never be the same after tomorrow, but we are looking forward to it!!

Will it be today?

So technically we are 40 weeks today!! She is supposed to be done cooking! hehe But as they say, most first babies are late and looks like we are no exception, even if I am already 3cm dilated and my dr. said it could be in 48 hours on Tuesday morning. I really think she was more hopeful than serious - she would rather me go into labor on my own, vs. being induced - which I totally agree with!

But nothing really happened last night and today not much. Belly gets hard but nothing painful or regular.... Brad woke up this morning and was bummed he had to go to work and was telling Olive it was time to come out! hehe He is taking tomorrow off so its essentially his last day at work today!

So if she doesn't come today or tomorrow, we will be heading to the hospital on Saturday morning to force her out! HA! Eviction set for Saturday August 15th! I am still hoping that things will get started today and I have a quick labor so she is born on Grandpa Ron's birthday!!!
Yep today is Brad's Dad's birthday! I think he would have been 63 or so today! We really miss him and especially at times like this! Of course he would have loved Olive - and all his grandkids of course!!

So I will try to keep myself busy today and just hope that the labor pains start or my water breaks! Crossing my fingers!

On Baby Watch!

Wow! So the counter above says 1 day left! Wow! Almost to 40 weeks! Had my last OB appt yesterday and she said I am now 3 cm dilated and it could happen at anytime - she guessed in the next 48 hours! But she could still be wrong!

Regardless I am scheduled for an induction this Saturday the 15th, if she doesn't decide to come on her own. I am really hoping she does!

Last night I was awake - partially due to the fact that I just wasn't tired - and partially due to interesting pains. But nothing was consistent. Today hasn't been bad, random contractions here and there but nothing painful. I think the anticipation right now is the absolute worst! Just hope I don't have a panic attack! That would suck!

So the waiting continues and everyone is on pins and needles! I am all about just getting the painful birth part over so I can cuddle my little girl!!

Seriously anytime now!

ok so yeah technically she has 4 more days until 40 weeks, but mommy is ready NOW!! We ran a ton of errands yesterday and did a lot of walking, had braxton hicks contractions throughout the day but nothing came of it - other than today, my body hurts! Hips, legs, arms - just achy and it sucks! I know there will be different types of aches after she gets here but I am done with the aching hips!

Yeah I know it can happen at anytime, or she will wait until we force her out at the end of this week. The waiting now is kind of the worst part - I told Brad, its like waiting and knowing whats in store (tons of pain) and if I could I would skip all that and just get my prize! hehe I want the prize! But I know thats not possible, so I guess I would just like the pain part to start and get over with SOON, so I can have my baby girl!

Then the real adventure starts!

In the home stretch

So 39 weeks and 1 day today! She is really wanting to ride this thing out until the end. Appts and non-stress tests going well, she has been an active girl this week! I am curious to know how big she truly is, because she is definitely a strong one!

I haven't been having a ton of contractions this week, I tend to get a tight belly when I am out and about - walking and doing stuff. But this week I have been more on the tired side and have been taking naps whenever possible, taking everyones advice on the sleep part! hehe Especially since my night time sleep sucks, I wake up every hour or two and have to shift my body because of the aches and go to the bathroom of course!

The nurse this morning at my NST appt said that baby's tend to come after full moons and there was a full moon this week, so who knows - maybe something will happen this weekend!! But I am not holding my breath. I have another OB appt on Tuesday, I am hoping maybe I can get my dr. to move up the induction to my due date on the 13th vs. waiting until Sat the 15th. We will see!!

Crazy to think that by no later than next weekend we will have another Robertson in the world!!
