Our little girl's room is finally 100% ready, woohooo :) Our bags are packed for the hospital and my last day of work is tomorrow. I seriously could not be more excited to meet our little girl. We found out last Friday that she is 7lbs 8oz so she is probably past 8lbs now. I still have not dropped or dilated at all...bummer. My doctor is confident that she will stay with mommy until her due date but I am really hoping to meet her sooner. June 10th just seems really far away. The good news is that my fluid levels are great and her measurements dropped from the 90th percentile to the 70th percentile. We were a little concerned that we were having a gigantic child. I've heard a million people say that the doctor's weight estimations can be totally off, so maybe she won't be as big as we are expecting. My goal next week is to do everything possible to induce labor (Noah and Katie were both gone this week so I had to wait). I'm going to ask my doctor about a membrane sweep and working out (well, walking up the hill on our street). I'm excited to catch up on all of the things I've been postponing like scrapbooking and organizing all of our photo albums. I'm determined to just leave TLC on all day as I reorganize the house probably a hundred times. There are some books I've been dying to read for a long time that I will finally have a chance to open. I'm sure there are more thank-you cards that I need to write and I definitely want to make time to catch up with friends :) I think I'll stop by my hubby's office for lunch at least a couple of times. I love surprising him at work even though he might feel differently, ahahaha!Thursday, May 26, 2011
