Well, this is my 100th post, but I wish I had more news to share... Went to the doctor again and after another uncomfortable exam, the big story is.... NOTHING. Apparently someone let word slip that your mommy has a habit of being fashionably late, so you have decided to take after me! The doctor said that she would bring me in to be monitored on Monday afternoon and we can decide from there on when to induce labor after that. Absolutely no later than Halloween, but I really don't want that to be your birthday! We will see what we can do to make sure you arrive before then. You deserve to have your own special day and not compete with such a crazy holiday. Halloween has never been my favorite and I hate all the gory decorations and scary costumes. I guess we never really made a big deal out of it when I was little and we always celebrated at the church festivals. It might also have been a factor that we lived out in the country and weren't going to walk 5 miles to knock on people's doors for candy!
Anyway, we are going to have a peaceful next few days. No plans for the weekend other than you! Everyone is so anxious to hear that you have arrived. I am trying not to call too many people because their first thought is that I am in labor. Hate to get them all worked up just to say hello and that I am bored!
At least I got one good chuckle today. Your daddy's stepmom emailed me a funny list of ways to prepare for parenthood. Some were a bit depressing (lack of sleep, being broke), but this one had me laughing - "Go to the local grocery store. Take with you the closest thing you can find to a pre-school child. (A full-grown goat is an excellent choice). If you intend to have more than one child, then definitely take more than one goat. Buy your week’s groceries without letting the goats out of your sight. Pay for everything the goat eats or destroys. Until you can easily accomplish this, do not even contemplate having children." Nice, huh?
