Well, we made it full term! Baby Mayes could come any day now and from what our midwife has been saying she just might be here sooner than later. At my last appointment she said to make sure Bryan has his bag packed too and that she'll see me next week unless she sees me at the hospital sooner. Eek (a good eek)!
At this point she has definitely dropped. I can feel her turn her head pretty low. It's a really funny feeling, because it's so much more gentle than the soccer kicks and karate punches I feel everywhere else. I am still having a significant amount of rib pain, but I am hoping once she arrives that will get better - or at least I can do more to treat it without her inside of me.
I have packed the baby bag, my bag, and the electronics bag. I am pretty sure I overpacked my bag, but with not having a definitive answer to how long I will be in the hospital I feel it's better to overpack a few of the important things.
I have a list on the fridge of important numbers in case anyone who may be at our house (family, I mean) needs to get ahold of doctors or us. I wrote out instructions on how to take care of the animals as Bryan's cousin is on-call to take care of the dogs (thank goodness!) until my mom gets into town and can help take care of them.
Bryan and I had our last official date night as a couple without a child - even though she made her presence known during dinner by moving around like crazy.
I have decided we are going to put a bunch of old wives tales to test in the coming weeks. There's the one that when the barometric pressure drops it can trigger labor - we are supposed to be getting a low pressure system this weekend. Then there is the one about a full moon - which there is one at the end of next week.
Just a waiting game for the next few weeks now, which will be hard for me as I am getting very impatient to meet her and running out of things to occupy my time.
