The waiting game...

I've been playing the "what if" game quite a bit lately. "What would I do if I went into labor right now?" I guess I have a bit too much time on my hands since I am constantly mapping out my labor strategy for each situation every day. At least I'll be prepared for it when it finally does happen. :)

I was so anxious for my Dr's appointment yesterday. She was supposed to check my cervix and hopefully get a better idea if this baby was getting ready to come out or not. Well after waiting in the Dr's office for 2 hours, I finally got seen. The Dr had to go deliver a baby and I was too impatient to reschedule so I just sat there... Forever! And then when I finally did get seen, it was past 5pm and she was in a hurry to see all of her patients that had waited for her. No checking of the cervix. I was quite disappointed. Instead, she told me that she couldn't tell if the baby was heads down or not so that I should come in next week for an ultrasound. That's fine and all, but that will be 3 days before my due date. So pray I make it until then. Or actually don't. I'd be happy if she came sooner. Either way, we are still waiting... :)

I ended up walking home from the Dr's, seeing as we are down to one car while mine is getting the AC fixed and Brad had to leave before the Dr got back. No worries though, that's just how close we live to the Dr. It took me 20 minutes, and I was happy for the exercise.

I got to return some duplicate gifts and buy the last minute things that we still needed the other day. I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm at on my To Do list. I'm feeling pretty comfortable with everything if she were to come today. There is just some final cleaning and organizing of random stuff in my house that needs to be done still, but I am working on a little bit every day. By next week, I'm sure we'll be in tip-top shape.

Plans until then.... lay out and relax by the pool, finish reading my baby book, finish cleaning, get a massage, and try to stay busy to keep my mind off of how much longer I have to wait. :)
