He is my world.

The Day Before It Happens!

WOW! I don't think I've ever felt this many emotions all at once!

I had my final OB appt today! Everything looks great and I'm progressing but my blood pressure was a little high so I am scheduled to be induced sometime tomorrow! I know there are risks with being induced. I've been over them a thousand times but my OB thinks that this is what would be best for my situation and she's the professional. I'm not sure what time exactly I'm supposed to be there but the hospital should be calling me within the next few hours. I can hardly contain myself!

I can't believe I am going to a mother or even yet, Jon is going to be a father. God has trusted Jon and I to take care of this new life for the rest of ours. It is unreal. I know women have children every day but I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I am going to be one of those women. Granted, I am incredibly nervous about delivery but I know I will make it through. I have so many friends and family lending their support so I know we aren't doing this alone. I am so blessed.

I can't hardly stand to sit in front of this computer anymore.

I'm going to go try to do some of the last minute things I've been putting off..

The Waiting Game - 39w 2d

After being TKO'd for the last few days from a sinus infection, things are looking up! I ended up having to go to the emergency room Thursday night because the medicines I was taking weren't really helping at all. God must have arranged that visit because the normally packed waiting room was completely empty! I pretty much walked in, was admitted and back in an exam room within 20 minutes (a record in my experience). Poor Jon though. I woke him up at 3am and told him I really needed to go to the hospital and I'm pretty sure the first thing he thought was "OMG! SHE'S GONNA HAVE THE BABY!" but I made it clear that I wanted to go to the ER because I thought my head was going to implode on itself. After the hospital and a quick trip to the pharmacy, we were back home and in bed by 5am. About 2 1/2 hours later, Jon was up and leaving for work. He was so tired. :( Bless his heart. The doctor gave me instructions to take the antibiotic Augmentin, Sudefed PE, Vicoden, and Afrin. I was really nervous about taking so much but if I would have gone into labor during this sickness, I don't think I would have made it. So, thank you Dr. Bobbi Jean @ Toledo Hospital!

This morning has been beautiful. It is pretty chilly at 48* but the sun is shining and we are supposed to have a high of 70. Jon has a project that is due first thing Monday morning and it didn't get all the way finished this past week so he had to go in for a few hours. From what I understand, his team is designing a fire-water system for the Marathon oil refinery in Detroit. Sounds fancy, right? His company was just signed onto a job in St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. I will be so jealous when he gets to go away but we aren't sure when that will be. Maybe Baby Lockie and I will sneak on the plane and join him..? ;)

This pregnancy has flown by............. up until about a week ago. Now it's moving at a snail's pace. I've grown tired of people calling to ask if he's here yet or telling me when I should have him. I'm pretty sure the whole world would hear me yelling from the rooftops that my son has finally arrived and if I had it MY way, he'd totally be in my arms already! If he doesn't come by Monday, my doctor suggested an induction on Tuesday. We had been offered an induction this past Thursday (due to my OB being on call at the hospital) but Jon and I both decided it's probably better to wait for things to happen naturally. In regards to the induction option on Tuesday, I really want my OB to be the one to deliver my baby. She is awesome and has seen me through this entire process so far. So, either way, Jon and I will be "daddy" and "mommy" by Wednesday at the latest.

This picture is me at 33w 3d. I should really get a more updated picture before it's too late!

Well, I'm sure that is enough for now. I have a million things to do around the house since I haven't really left my bedroom for the past 3 days.
