News on arrival

Well the doctor's appointment went well, his heartbeat is good and strong at 138 and he is still head down, measuring what he should be for 38 weeks and 3 days. If he has not made his appearance by this Sunday the 4th, then I am scheduled to go to the hospital that night and be induced so he would arrive sometime on Monday the 5th. So hopefully he will decide to make his appearance on his own sometime this week or if not then with a little help. I am also officially off work until he is here, so now we wait and see what happens and pray that however he arrives, everything goes well for both him and me.

Awaiting his arrival

Well I came up with the crazy idea at 3:00 in the morning when I couldn't sleep, that it would be a good idea to start a blog for Patrick so that when he does get here, this will make it easier to give updates to everyone, post pictures all in one place, and just give a central location that everyone can go to.

As of Friday Dec. 26 I am 38 weeks along, and awaiting his arrival (not so patiently sometimes!)
Everything is going fine, I go to the doctor today (Monday) and we will see what progress if any has been made towards delivery time, at our last appointment the doctor mentioned that if Patrick was still inside at 38 to 39 weeks then we would discuss other options, so we will see today what action is taken from here.

We have prepared as much as possible to this point for his arrival, we have all the major needs covered with the help of family and friends. We have our bags packed and by the door or in the car!

Me personally I am physically tired of being pregnant, I am very grateful and blessed that this pregnancy has been for the most part an easy one, but my body has just reached the point that I know most pregnant woman finally reach, I'm constantly tired and there is no position that is comfortable for very long. I'm sure Heath will be very grateful when I stop turning over constantly in my sleep! But enough of the complanints. Like I said I figured by starting this blog Heath and I could both post updates on here to let family and friends know what was going on, with everyone being so spread out all over the place. This will hopefully give one central location for everyone to go to for information and pictures as we can get them on here.

I will try to give another update today after seeing the doctor to see where we go from here.
