Time really flies and this pregnancy seems to have gone a lot faster than my pregnancy with Jocelyn. I am so excited to meet this little girl. I can't wait to see what she looks like, what her personality will be like, and I just can't wait to see how Jocelyn will be as a big sister! I really think she's going to be great! She already gives the baby "presents". She knows the nursery is the baby's room. She rubs my belly daily and asks me if it's time for the baby to come out yet. My new answer is, "She can come any time now." To which Jocelyn always asks if that means that people will be coming to "her house". She is excited for visitors, knowing they will come when the baby arrives.
I think we are ready. The last weeks are always so weird. Baby can come at any time and you just wonder when it will be! I'm planning on remaining pregnant through the 4th of July at the earliest, and have done a pretty good job at convincing myself that maybe she will even come a little late. My doctor told me she would do an elective induction at 39 weeks, but I'm not going to do that unless I have the surprising dilation I had with Jocelyn. We will see how my appointment goes on the 29th. If I'm still at 1cm or at anything less than 5, I am going to let things be. If I'm 5 or more, I will consider picking a date. I just don't want to have to rush to the hospital to have the baby when I have to worry about what to do with Jocelyn, etc. I'm fully expecting to be under the 5cm mark. Just because it happened with Jocelyn doesn't mean it's automatic this time...besides, I really would like to go into labor on my own!
Here's a picture of the bump...it's getting bigger. I like to call it the torpedo. It's all out to the front and looks rather silly!
