Well, went to my last clinic appointment today. Cole is still baking in the oven and we're anxiously waiting for any pains to start. I am dilated to a 2-3 and 50% effaced, which is a lot farther than I was with Chase before I went into labor. I hope he comes in the next couple of days, maybe he's just waiting for his due date which is Thursday, the 27th. I'll be induced next Tuesday if he doesn't come out sooner. The doc suggested Monday or Tuesday, but I just couldn't PLAN on having a Halloween baby, even though he may come then.
We're praying for a healthy baby boy and so excited to see what Cole will look like. I think he will have a lot of hair, and be a healthy size (hopefully not too big). I'm also ready to go b/c I'm so tired of being prego. I have not had fun this go round....extreme SI pain, insomnia, heartburn, fatigue.....I just really want some sleep, but I know I won't get much for a while.
I started my maternity leave on Monday. I'm enjoying the extra rest and time to get things done. Laundry is actually caught up and dishes are done! Chase has continued to go to daycare. I've been working on some projects for the nursery. I sure have waited to the last minute, but trying to prepare for a new baby with a 2 1/2 year old at home, and working, is especially hard. Hopefully I'll get it mostly together tomorrow. It just needs some decor on the walls.
Chase moved classes at school. I think this will be much better for him. I believe this teacher knows how two year olds are, and can adjust better than the other one he started having problems with. He misses naps sometimes; his daddy quit taking naps at 10 months and he has a cousin that quit at 18 months. That must be a Bradford thing; I still love naps! He took one today, though, I just hope it continues to behave well in his new class.
The girls from RVT and I went to the Race for the Cure on Saturday. I left Friday while my mom, or Mimi, stayed with Chase. He definitely has outgrown his separation anxiety when I leave now. He just told me bye, and then he asked if I was going to go have Baby Cole now......it was so cute. I'm pretty sure he knows what's coming. When asked what his baby bro's name is, he hugs himself like he's cold and says "cold" shaking.
The rest of the weekend went well, with food, games, cupcakes, no sleep, and enjoying the festivities at the race. I didn't walk because I would have been in a lot of pain in my hips, but I stayed on the sidelines around Craig O'Neil cheering all the women on. It's always fun to be part of such a great event for a cure to end breast cancer.
Well, off to bed and continued waiting......
