Ok... maybe not really... don't want to be stabbed by a fork and it is not my decision to be "ready" ... it is the little guy calling the shots at this point.
As I was reminded today at the doctors... we are in a wait and see situation as there is nothing out of the ordinary to try to get little guy out before his due date. For that I am very thankful... blood pressure is good... amniotic fluid levels are stable which is good considering his kidneys are measuring larger than they should be at this point... my weight is staying consistent... and little guy is very active.
On the flipside... personally my body aches and is tired... hips feel like they are being torn apart... and the acid reflux that is coming up is not so much fun. The contractions have gone from non painful braxton hicks to somewhat uncomfortable to painful at times. They are not regular enough to go to the doctor.
At this moment, they won't let little guy stay in there forever. He will be evicted around thanksgiving if he doesn't come out sooner due to the fact that we will be at 41 weeks at that point. He is very long so the myth of my heart burn, acid reflux, and congestion will go away when he drops... is just that and he has already dropped. Guess those symptoms will go away when he is officially out.
It is a good thing and I will count my blessings that he is happy and healthy inside and that the doctors are fine with him staying put until he is ready. Can't wait to meet this little guy! (And yes we have almost 100% settled on a name ... other than little guy... but it won't be revealed until after we meet him!)
