The Waiting Game

I know. I know.  I'm only 38 weeks pregnant and I technically still have 13 days until my official due date but I am sooo ready to get this labor going.  Especially since Dr. V gave me the hope that she will be arriving early or we will induce. Lance's finals are on Thursday so he's still praying she holds off on her appearance until Friday.  At this point, we can deal with his exam later...I just want her out already.  Tomorrow is my next doctor's appointment and again I'm hoping he'll give me some good news on my progress.

I don't want to jinx anything but this week has been a little different:

• I've been feeling alot of pressure
• I have pains that feel similar to gas (not really sure what that's about)
• My mucus plug finally released (BTW I can't believe I openly talk about lactating and mucus plugs now)
• I've been wide awake the past few nights (probably because I'm so anxious now) 
• Then tonight V has been non-stop moving.  In the past week or so her movements have been very subtle, just squirms here and there, but not tonight...she's moving around all over the place.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that its a sign of her getting tired of being in there too. 

Lastnight I was awake until 3:30 am.  It didn't help that the hubs said "I have a feeling she'll be coming this week" and then my sister said when she lost her mucus plug her kiddos were born 2 days later.  I was up watching TV, eating cereal and I even thought about getting the vacuum out but I didn't want to wake Lance up and plus it seemed a little ridiculous. 

I'm nervous and ready but then sometimes I still can't grasp that at some point she's finally going to exit my body!!  Sometimes I feel like she's just going to be in there forever. 

All I can do is wait.  Wait until I can feel some type of contractions or until the doc says its time.  My friends, please, please send me some labor luck or magic labor dust!

In the meantime, how cute is this Dallas Cowboy onsie?  Gotta get V geared up for football season.  This is what happens when your wide awake and have unlimited access to online shopping!
