The end is near right....

So we went to the doctor yesterday. I was pretty excited last week when the doctor told me to be ready at any time because I was that close. Well those hopes were dashed yesterday. The women's OB clinic in Twin has about 5 doctors who all work in it, you don't get to choose the doctor you go to, you see all of them. Well I am learning that some doctors tell you like it is, and others like to get your hopes up and think things are moving so quickly and be ready at any time. But my doctor yesterday is one of the best there and the one I am crossing my fingers is working when I actually do go into labor. He gave it to me straight like he has been the whole the time. I have started yet, but I still have a long way to go, and don't expect much this week or even next week. My due date is Tuesday, but he has been telling me at most of my visits when I do see him that he would be surprised if I delivered that soon. So with the lack of sleep I have been getting and the frustrations from the doctor last week. I wasn't very happy yesterday.

But on a good note, I finally figured out how to sleep through the night with out waking up stiff and sore and being wide awake from 4 am to 7 am when I normally get up. The last couple of days and nights have been really long! But I finally got a good nights sleep last night and plan on taking every advantage of that as I can for the next week or so.

I haven't been very good at taking pictures since I have been pregnant, not the belly photo type of girl, but since so many people are requesting to see some pictures here are the few that I have.

This is right around 4 or 4 and a half months. I woke up and bam, there was the baby bump. It really felt like it happened over night!

This one is gross. The date is wrong, I don't know why. My feet didn't start swelling until about 8 months, but when they swelled they SWELLED! I think they have been even bigger than this. Oh the joys we go through! I would have to say, the last month has been the hardest month for me. It was pretty easy going until then. I haven't worn real shoes since the end of January, couldn't get my feet in them even if I tried, but since I hate shoes, I don't really mind. I did get some funny looks when I was downtown doing snow removal for work a few weeks ago in just my flip flops and a sweatshirt!

We took these on Sunday after we got back from Payton's blessing in Dietrich. I went to see Zed on Friday and he moved the baby down into the top of the birth canal, he said he should stay there, that he should be able to get out but as you can see, he didn't stay put! I was carrying him much higher than even this, and he has still managed to get back up into my ribs since this picture has taken. I think he's making a stand, letting me know he's not ready to come yet. So the wait continues!

I couldn't leave dad out could I? He's getting pretty excited for the big day. As long as I can wait until after Friday to go into labor he will be fine. He has a physics test and calculus test that day. For those of you who don't know, Michael travels to ISU 3 days a week for school. So it would be better for Micah to wait for his dad to finish his classes for the week if he does decide to come early. We shall see. Until then I hope all is well with everyone! We will try to keep everyone as updated as possible when the big day finally does come!
