I am DONE talking about this subject

So HOPEFULLY today is my last post talking about pregnancy on our blog. (until the next pregnancy and no I am not even going to start thinking about that!) I mean I think after nine months of it, we are all kinda (or maybe REALLY) sick of it. I KNOW I am. I am ready to start talking about babies, or atleast one really cute baby that I haven't actually seen yet, but I KNOW she is going to be Oh SO CUTE. Trust Me. Maybe for some of you this new topic is not better than the last one, and I say to you... choose a new blog to read.

So one last update for you on my pregnancy and then we can all play the waiting game. Today I am 39 weeks and 2 days. I am not sure what I am dilated to, and frankly I don't want to know because it just puts false hope into my already too hopeful brain. But if you want to know, in my brain I am dilated to a 4 and I am going to go into labor tonight after McKay gets off work. :) I am HUGE and my doctor is planning on me having a pretty big baby. He wasn't clear on what big was but I am pretty sure it dashs all of my hopes of having a 6 lb baby and probably a 7 lb baby too but I think I am going to still hold on to that one for my sanity. I should probably just go put my tiny newborn clothes away now and accept that she will probably not get to wear them. But really that is ok because in my personal opinion of baby clothes they don't start getting really cute until about 6 months.
Right now if she doesn't come earlier I am scheduled to be induced (is that how you spell it?) Wednesday morning of next week. Which is my actual due date and all along I have thought that the 10th was a nice even birthdate so I am happy with that.

McKay has been working so hard lately to work extra hours so that he has some time to take off since he hasn't earned any vacation hours yet (they start the week after on the 16th, almost perfect timing). I don't love that he has to work extra hours because that just extends my alone time at home with not much to do, but I have tried to stay busy. Meaning I make sure I get my daily naps in and I have watched quite a few library movies. Such a hard life right? But as most of us know boredom is almost worse than being crazy busy and right now I would gladly trade those naps in for a little more excitement in my life.

Some of the things that I have learned is like my sister-in-law said, the last month is the worst. I am WAY past what I thought pregnancy was. I look back now and think, wow the rest of my pregnancy was a breeze! I should not have been complaining. I had no idea my body could stretch THIS much, and I don't really think that it should. :) The other day the sister missionaries asked me if I thought I looked cute as a pregnant lady? (they said they thought I looked adorable and wanted to know what I thought) and honestly it has been REALLY hard for me to allow myself to gain weight, because that is usually what I am trying to prevent. But I do look at other pregnant women and think they look cute so I understood what they meant. And I remember back to when I first got pregnant and I couldn't wait till I had a little tummy too. Motherhood is such a sacred and special blessing that not even fathers get to experience in the same way so I am grateful that my body is able to carry such an amazing gift from our father in heaven. So it is definitely worth the sacrifice that we have to make, but I am getting excited about getting back into more exersizing than just walking.

I am nervous for the delivery but after touring the hospital I am confident that I will be ok, even if it hurts...a lot.

I am excited to get to hang out with my mom, family, and husband for a week or so after the delivery and hold my little girl. And I will try to have someone keep this updated with details and pictures for everyone. Well that is all, have a great day!
