Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

Thursday, February 28, 2008

So we went to the Dr. on Monday and I'm pretty much at the same spot I was at the week before. No idea when Logan will be coming just waiting and wondering if it will be tomorrow or not for another 2 weeks. She did have us schedule our 40 week and 41 week appointments so maybe they think it's going to be awhile too. I think Mike-e is very cute right now because he is super paranoid. I called him yesterday to see what he was doing and you could tell he was just waiting for me to tell him I was in Labor. I think there is a lot of sttress there because he feels pressured to get me to the hospital on time. I don't really worry about that part just the normal water breaking in an embarrassing place and curious to see what a contraction feels like. Mike-e also got a little light headed at my last exam. I hope he is ok during the birth but I can totally see him passing out.
Tomorrow is my last day at work before my maternity leave. It will be nice to able to sleep in a little next week (meaning I'll wake up at 7:30 instead of 6:30) and not have to drive to work on Monday after it snows on Sunday. It's really weird thinking about not coming back to work for 12 weeks. I've been doing this job for almost 5 years and it will be hard to just let it go, easier once Logan is here. I'll probably come back though and everything will be different.

It's Sunday night already!?!


So it's Sunday night already which means the weekend is almost over. It seems that the weekends just seem to fly by while the week just drags on. I wonder if the weekend would go by so quickly if I actually did something on my days off. I always have big plans but I'm so tired I'm lucky if I get the dishwasher unloaded. Today Mike-e and went for a walk around the neighborhood which was really nice. We got to talk about a lot of things and it was good to spend some time together. It's nice to just walk around and talk. And for all of those who are curious the walk did not send me into labor. I have my next doctor appointment tomorrow and we'll see if we are any closer to Logan being born. I think people around me are getting more antsy than I am. It's like every day I'm still at work I'm throwing people off. I still think it's going to be awhile before he comes because so far I haven't had any of the signs that indicate that birth is coming. But the problem with pregnancy is that it's not predictable so we will have to wait and see.

14 days until the due date

So I only have 14 days left until his due date and I'm getting a lot of people asking if I'm ready for it to be over yet. My answer is pretty much always the same, that I'm ready to be done with coming to work. It's hard not getting any sleep and then coming into work for 9 hours. On my home yesterday though Logan was really kicking and you could actually feel his foot move around. While him moving that much is not really that comfortable it's really cool that you can tell that it's his foot. I started thinking about holding him afterwards and playing with his little feet and hands and it made me have a different perspective on that question. I am really ready for him to come so I can hold him. I think he's getting restless in there anyway. He moves a crazy amount now and the doctor said he was really low and she actually could feel his head. She said he could come out tomorrow or not for a couple of weeks. It's hard to plan for a date that is not set in stone. We have our hospital bag packed and the car seats are installed so we are mostly ready on that end. I keep thinking of things I should clean or organize on my days off but when those days come I'm so tired I mostly just hang out and take naps. I'm wondering if I'll ever have that burst of energy right before he comes that compells me to be scrubbing cabinets or floors. All I can do is just wait and see.

First post

Here is my first post. Hopefully I'll be able to maintain this once Logan is born so everyone can keep up with what he is doing. He is currently on schedule according to the doctor which means he could come at any time. While I'm hoping he'll wait until my sister comes home it would be nice not to have to go to work any more. I'm tired all the time right now and working for a full 9 hours is very wearing. Well I'll update when I have more news.
