Quoting one of my fav. singers-Tom Petty "the waiting is the hardest part!" So true. Here I am one day after my due date and still no baby! I am so ready to meet Mr. Brennan! Not only because I am so uncomfortable, cannot sleep, and tired of getting excited when I feel a twinge only to be let down, but because I am ready to hold my sweetie and start being family of four! Everyone keeps saying, he will come when he's ready, blah blah blah. That is of no comfort at this point! I'm trying to relax, but that is really hard to do when you are so uncomfortable. I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions since Tues, but no real ones. Ughhhh. Plus, Bobby has been "lightly" working all week, and I feel bad that he was unable to do the work he needed to do for no reason. (He has a corporate meeting in Kentucky that he did not go to) I should note that Bobby was very sweet about it and said it's not a big deal and he's not worried about missing the meeting for nothing, but I still feel bad. Hormones!
With Tanner, we were induced 2 days before his due date because I had developed pre-eclampsia. When we went in for our last check up, I was not even thinking about when he would come. I was still feeling pretty good, and sleep well, and just enjoying some me and Bobby time. I know many people who have had bad experiences with being induced, but mine was great! I liked being able to tell our family, that Thurs was the day! (My mom, MIL, and SIL were in the room with us) My doctor said that this time, we can choose to induce based on the fact that Tanner was 9 pounds and Brennan will most likely be the same. But I was really thinking he would come on his own by now. However, I am leaning more towards an induction the more time that goes by and the more discomfort I feel.
Today is the Superbowl! Today is also the birthday of two of my cousins-Sierra and Schyler. When we first found out we were due a day before the Superbowl, I was hoping for a Superbowl baby. Bobby, because of working in pizza, is NEVER off for the Superbowl. (In fact, last year, he got home during the 4th quarter) Sooooo...I was hoping we would have our baby on Superbowl Sunday so he would be off. But then he got a promotion and he is off for the day sooooooo.....then I hoped that he would be born before now! Now I am back to hoping that he will come today just so I can be more comfortable and get (at least at little bit of) sleep! On a side note, I am pulling for the Green Bay Packers over the Steelers. Nothing personal against the Steelers, but they have won too many times-Sorry Maggie and Mary Jane!
That's all of my venting for now! Hopefully my next post will be about Brennan's birth!!! :)
