Single Digit Bliss?

It only "kind of" seems like just yesterday I was posting the excitement of "99" days remaining! Now, to think...just 9 days remaining in this pregnancy. Wow.

The doctor's update you ask? Both eventful and not. Uneventful because I am still only 1 cm dilated. Then again, she said for a first pregnancy, that's actually good. She did happen to say "poor thing, that baby's head is right there on your pelvis!" TMI perhaps? Maybe, but at least there is a reason for this pelvic pain and embarrassing waddle! And to really look on the bright side, my baby has a head! Not funny?

Eventful because my next appointment is Tuesday and although that seems like an eternity away, we will re-evaluate then and she will put me on the induction list at my hospital. Since my hospital is really busy and clearly in high demand (darn you Britney Spears!) it might take a few days to actually get in. So technically, I could make it to my due date but hey, I will just be happy to know it will happen by late next week! If not SOONER!!!! Ohhhh let's still hope for sooner. I cannot believe how tight my stomach has felt this past 3 days or so. I am literally running out of room for her and if my posture is anything less than perfect, I lose all capability of breathing. Details.

My doctor did give the ol' suggestion to wrap things up at work since she wasn't crazy about my blood pressure. I hate to leave my guys early but the idea of having a few days of true rest before she arrives, actually sounds incredible! Work has been serving as a great distraction but this week has been especially tough. I feel ready for a nap by 9am and emotionally drained by updating every single person in the office. Sweet that they care but it's all too much. I do feel blessed though that I work in such a wonderful, caring environment. I really love the people I work with and am sad to be leaving for a couple months. This is what they call bittersweet, my friends.

All in all, knowing that I really am so close, will push me through. I'm scared to know how many blog followers I have lost through this past month of grumpiness but if it helps, I have a feeling there will be some really great entries ahead!

Please keep us in your prayers!
