Well, today is a holiday from school. Otherwise I would probably still be there...which can also read...this child is STUCK in me forever!! I guess "techinically" I have a little more then 24 hours before I get the amnio, however, we are cutting it very close! I am not at all thrilled at the possiblity or really reality of the test at this point! I was totally hoping that we would have had a baby at this point! Here's to hoping for middle of the night labor or water breakage!
My official "last" day at school was Thursday, since I had a 10:30a.m. appointment on Friday morning. Going in after that would have been pointless and since it doesn't count as a 1/2 day if you are not there for so many hours, it didn't matter anyways. I feel relieved to have the "transition" over with, at least knowing that I am not going, instead of waking up each day deciding how I feel! I have this wierd guilty for leaving, but excited to stay home feeling! I think it's because I team-teach and I know how much it messes up the routines when one of us is out, for a day, let alone for weeks at a time! I am hoping the new students we get will be in and out, easy and things will go smoothly.
I am hoping to get a few things done around the house today and then go to the store for a few last minute things that we'll need once I am back home. The plan is for me to have the amnio tomorrow morning at 9:15 then they put me into the hospital (Labor and Delivery) to monitor. They will send the tests off to make sure his lungs are mature and then I'll spend the night in the hospital. They will give me medicine to make my cervix do its thing and then Wednesday morning the fun will begin....aka (break my water, give me pitocin....and all that jazz. Doesn't sound like fun to me, but hopefully by 5:00 or 5:30 I will have a baby (that's what my doctor says!) I am just worried about being SO tired by Wednesday morning, but we'll see. I will have to be on monitors all night long (like I was with Tate) and I did NOT sleep at all, so that makes me nervous. Although I didn't get to take my meds at that point, so maybe I can and that will help me sleep! And I want to be able to get dressed (hair and make-up) on Wednesday morning, so we'll see about that....that will make me really grumpy if I look a mess and haven't slept!
Here's to hoping _____ will decide to come on his own today!

Thursday
,After 2 days of staying home from school I went back today. On Tuesday morning, I was having regular contractions every 7-8 minutes. Ben and I got our things ready, went to breakfast with Tate at Chick-fil-A and then went into my doctor. I had to eat before I went because I didn't do that last time and I was STARVING and I knew I didn't want to be hungry if they admitted me!
At the doctor I was only 1cm dialated and not really effaced at all. My doctor said she could put me in if I was in that much pain or just wait it out and see if it kicked in or slowed down. I didn't want to sit in the hospital all day for nothing, so we left. I did have decent contractions off and on that day, but they were not getting any stronger or closer. I didn't feel very well on Wednesday morning, so I didn't go into work. I should have because I didn't have ANYTHING hardly all day! I did finally have some good contractions after my mom and I walked in the mall, but they didn't stay for long. I went into work today and had some, but nothing major. I just came home (Ben took Tate for me today, because I was running late, and we had to switch cars) and I was starving so I ate the leftover alfredo. I have a feeling I may be sorry later! It was a lot! And now I am just laying here because I am so tired! I thought I was going to fall asleep, but I may not and just rest for a little bit. Ben is going to get Tate and they will be here in a little while. I was having some decent contractions and my feet are pretty swollen!! I tried to sit down at work and did most of the day (off and on) but it is just more "movement" probably then I have been doing in the past two days!
The nursery is officially DONE! It's turned out so cute! I love it! It's more of a "theme" then Tate's was, but I love the way it turned out! Most of the big stuff on my To-Do List is also done, which is good. The other things that are on it are not really "necessary" and some of it is "touch-up" to do again before the baby gets here. We'll see if I re-mop the floors...I'm not feeling it right now! Haha!
