Monday was my first day of maternity leave, and I am guessing that my students forgot that I wasn't coming back after the holiday break. Hoping things are going well, but school is honestly the last thing on my mind! I am ready to get this baby girl out! We had an ultrasound two weeks ago, and everything looks good. She looked pretty smooshed in there! The tech said that she estimated her weight to be at 8 lbs.! My doctor couldn't believe it and I'm pretty skeptical myself, but we shall see. We could also see about an inch of hair on her head! The appointment got us really excited to meet our little girl. :)
I wasn't going to post a picture of me this far along, but I have been posting updates on my entire pregnancy so it didn't seem right to leave out the end!
So, what have I been doing to stay distracted? Everything is pretty much done at this point and I am just taking each day as it comes. The last thing that I really wanted to get done before the baby comes was to get our house cleaned and to get my toe nails painted pink :) I have never had my house cleaned by someone else but I HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone at the end of their pregnancy. Usually I enjoy cleaning but at the point it is physically too difficult to give our place a deep clean. Also, I must add that I now get why my Mom always had us "clean" before the cleaning lady came. They need to be able to clean underneath the clutter! haha I have also been doing lots of walking/streteching, sewing, running small errands, walking more, and trying to relax while I still can...the clock is ticking!
As of yesterday's appointment, I am scheduled to be induced on the 18th! Obviously, I hope I can go into labor naturally but I was aware the inductions are pretty common for first time moms. My due date is tomorrow but I have a feeling we won't be meeting this little girl until next Friday. She must be pretty cozy in there. Luckily, my parents just go into town so they can keep me distracted until her arrival! I'll keep you posted!
