Restless

OMG now that this baby is ready for launch the suspense is KILLING ME.  Last night after I went to bed I am pretty sure I had about 4 contractions 4 minutes apart.  Then I rolled over to my other side and they stopped.  DANG!  I was in and out of sleep the whole night, trying to find a position where my itchy stretch marks wouldn't bother me.  Plus the added pressure from baby's head made me have to get up to pee way more times than I have been.  Not that I am complaining.  I am very happy having that pressure to alert me that he hasn't flipped himself back over.  Dr. H said that only happens about 5% of the time, so I'm not too terribly worried about it.

Work is kind of a nice distraction from the waiting game.  Although I do think I'd rather be home watching movies to pass the time.  I suppose that might get old after awhile.  I actually got a little bored yesterday lounging around on the couch for so long.  The way I'm feeling is really reminiscent of the "two week wait" - you know, those LONG days after trying to conceive before you can reasonably expect to see those magical pink lines on a home pregnancy test.  HOW LONG AGO THAT WAS!!!!

Dear Seth,
About 37 weeks ago you were just a gleam in your father's eye.  Now you are a squirmy little monkey inside my belly almost ready to join the world.  Everyone is rooting for you to get here soon so they can pinch your little cheeks!  I can't wait to meet you.  Hurry hurry little boy!

Love, Mom
