The End is in Sight

Well folks, I went to the OB yesterday and he said he would induce me a week early, which means that I am having this baby a week from tomorrow! Just having that date in mind totally takes the pressure off, you know? I no longer feel like a walking time bomb. And since I have still never gone into labor on my own, I don't have to worry about sitting around freakishly timing every teeny tiny contraction, which apparently I have a tendency to do.



My brother and his wife had a cute little bundle of a baby boy two weeks ago and he is a doll face. Pictures do not do him justice. It has only increased my desire to hold my little lass.



Emma was so excited the day the baby was born and kept wanting to go see the baby "come out of Sachele's tummy." I told her repeatedly that we could not do that and after she badgered me about why not for 10 minutes I finally blurted out in frustration, "Because, the baby comes out of her whoo whoo and she doesn't want everybody staring at it!!" I immediately regretted saying it - I knew a barrage of questions that I didn't want to answer would follow.

Emma looked like she had been slapped and then said, "That's disgusting. That's where the poop and the pee comes out." And then there were the questions about if the Dr. looked at Sachele's whoo whoo and if Uncle Mikey looked at it and if the baby got poop on it...sheesh. Me and my big mouth.

Very exciting news! I don't know about anyone else, but this birth sure snuck up on me. I need to get your baby gift mailed pronto! I can't wait to see the sweet baby girl who is making your tummy poke out so excessively. (Not any more excessively than is normal though. Don't worry.)

Dasha said...

LOLLOLLOL! yup you pretty much scarred her. can't wait for all the side stories on that in the near future. and congrats! i was induced with both girls a week early and that is so much better than the franticness of going into labor with spencer. can't wait to see your sweet angel!

Trisha said...

Good Luck!! It really is nice to have a date huh? I was induced w/ Diego and liked that so much better. Your kids are SO cute and hilarious- I know your new girl will be also. Can't wait to see pics- no pressure though- take time and recover! :):)

Ok, I am your mom and I guess you inherited your mouth from me....your dad is too proper!

erin said...

Whoo whoo? Hadn't heard that one before, but it's hilarious!
And, you're totally cheating on our baby race by being induced!!! :) At my last check up I still hadn't made any progress....maybe this baby will come late after all the scares and worry of her coming early! I'm ready to be done! You look great! Good luck and I can't wait to see photos of your little girl!

Heather said...

Thank you for the good laugh. That is the kind of comment I want of video. We explained Circumcision to Ethan and Wesley. Yikes. Good luck!
