Anything Yet?

This is the question I've been hearing from my Ryan for the passed few weeks. At first it was cute, now it is overrated because everyone is asking on a daily basis! I know it's only because everyone is excited and because they care!

We're off to the hospital today to take a non-stress test to see how my contractions are progressing. I can tell you that last night I did not need a test to answer that question for me because they kept waking me up...although they were not strong enough to get me to the hospital, just to the bathroom to pee and go back to bed.

Anyway, Ryan keeps singing, "I got a feeling!" And I have to give it to him, because I got a feeling too...a few things have occurred over the last few days which are supposed to mean labor is near. I have so many mixed feelings and emotions. I'm nesting, I'm resting, my mood changed like the tide last night, I'm cramping and my mucous plug has fallen out. TMI? I don't think so...a message from another mother to me was that after pregnancy - all decency flies out the window! Haha! At least I thought it was funny.

Anyway, we'll keep you posted. I'm still praying for a natural (and vag) delivery and that she comes on her own before I am scheduled to be induced. Please pray with me for a safe and fast delivery and recovery! All that matters to me is that my baby is healthy and strong. I love her so much already and of course so does her Daddy as well as everyone else! I know everything will be worth it in the end...my daughter means much more to me than my birth experience at this point. I realize I can't plan and control everything...

Love,
