The end is in sight!!

With only 24 more days to go, I see the end is near. Finally!! This has been a very long 8 1/2 months, if I do say so myself. I had another Dr. visit today and am dialated to 1 1/2 cm!! Yahoo!! We are on our way... hopefully sooner then later. Things are going well. I haven't been feeling too sick at night lately and only occaisional heartburn. What a relief I must say. I haven't been too hungry, or too tired, or had many cravings lately, which has been nice. I still have back pains randomly throughout the day and all night, but I am sleeping better this week. Last week I was pretty sick with a bad headcold that kept me from breathing, thus no sleep.

We are still working on being ready for a new baby. My hubby has finished painting the crib and it is all set up in it's place. We have had my shower and have lots of wonderful things for baby. I still have a bit more to get and do in the next 3 weeks, but have faith that it will get done. I have only gained about 17 lbs which is awesome!! Hopefully I will loose all of that in the hospital... then back to reality. Things are coming along and I can't wait for her to arrive!!

Turning Point...

So, at my appoinment today, I talked to my Dr about inducing a bit earlier then we had previously planned... he was on board! We had chosen May 23rd because my due date is the 21st and my parents were going to be out of town ( New York actually) until the 20th, but now they are not going so we moved up the date... I am scheduled to be induced on Monday May 18th!! Yippee!! I love going early. Who in their right mind would choose to be pregnant any longer then they have to be... NOT me!! I now go in every 2 weeks until the end... which is near! I am so glad too. A bit scared to have 5 kids, but you do what you can and hope it all turns out alright. I do love being a mom!!
