20 hours to go!

We are just 20 hours away from being at the hospital for our induction! I’ve been pacing the floors waiting for it to be time and even hoping that perhaps the little one will decide to come a few hour earlier than when the Dr’s have planned. So far, no such luck.

I’ve got a checklist of things to finish up today around the house, like cleaning out the fridge. DH will be doing some grocery shopping after we get home so I’m working up a list of what we will need . . . I’m putting together a list of people to email the first pictures to once we are home . . . and rechecking my bags to be sure I have everything I need packed.

The baby has been restless as well. He/she doesn’t really have enough room to kick anymore but certainly has been doing a lot of pushing, trying to stretch I think. Certainly feels to me like this one is ready to come out and have some room to move around, not that I can blame him/her for wanting a little space by this point. We have certainly hit the point where there is no such thing as a comfortable position, for either of us from what I can tell.

We are still planning for one last dinner out together tonight. Nothing too fancy, just going to a nearby Italian restaurant that we like for a quiet dinner together since it is very likely to be our last dinner alone together for a while to come. We also recently went to a movie, since I probably won’t see any more movies in the theatre for a while . . . I

did, however, sign up for Netflicks again. I’ve got 30+ movies in my list so that I’ll have movies to watch over the next month or two. Called the video store we usually rent from and for the price of 4.5 movies there I can have a month of Netflicks with 3 movies out at a time. I expect to be able to get through a few more than that, even watching them 20 or 30 minutes at a time. And since there is nothing on TV over the summer I might as well have some movies. . . . right?

M is going to post an update here for us once the baby arrives, so sometime over the weekend there will likely be new info here . . . I’m off to finish getting ready.
