Almost Home

Coming down the home stretch, we are within days of being not so pregnant anymore. We were at the doctor's yesterday, she says everything is looking really good. I am prime and ready, my cervix is dialated to a 2, ready to pop at any moment. Like I said in my last blog, she is still going by the original due date, December 4th, and says she doesn't care what the ultrasound says. = ) I really like my doctor, so this is said in fun. Anyways, we are going to be seeing what happens in the next week, and if nothing, she wants to induce on the 10th. I really want Elizabeth to show her wrinkly, cone head on the 7th. Jake says the 4th or 5th. But at the very latest, she will arrive on the 11th (depending what time on the 10th they induce, and how long labor lasts). I am really excited, and scared. I know that I will be well taken care of. AHH! We are going to be parents, in less than 11 days!

Also, for anyone who doesn't know, we are delivering at Tuality in Hillsboro. 335 SE 8th Ave., Hillsboro, Oregon.

Please wait little one

So we went to the doctor yesterday, my 37 week check up, even though they said 38, (they are going by their initial due date December 5th, which is too early (due to ovulation and such), I am going by what the ultrasound said which is December 10th). Anyways, it is getting closer. I'm not sure we were ready to hear that. Last Thursday when we were there I was not open at all, she was still high up, and 50% thinned. In just 5 days I am now 80% thinned, she has dropped lower, and I am 1 1/2 centimeters dialated. I know that it can stay this way for weeks before labor will start, and truthfully, that is what I would like. I want an early December baby, after Jake is done with school, and after Sandra is back at work. Is this asking for too much?

Term!

Hello! Hello! It is official, I am term. I could have a baby at any time now, but truth be told, I would really like her to wait until December 7-13. I think I am good with her coming between those dates. There is much to be done still, but I am feeling better about our preparedness.

Not okay

One of my bosses, Steve (who is boss over the whole place I work) announced yesterday that he is moving to the Phoenix center. He will still be our boss, though someone will replace him here, but still report to him (if that makes sense), but he will no longer be here. He will visit, make trips up and stuff, but he will not be here. I have been thinking about it. I don't think that I am okay with this. Not that it is my choice, and I am really happy for Steve getting a promotion and going somewhere where he likes the weather more, but I am not okay with this change. We will be getting a new manager, they want an internal candidate, but what might that bring. I have enough change going on, I don't want this to change too. It has put me in a pretty apathetic mood.

AHHH!!!

First of all: Happy All Saints Day

Dr Scalberg would be proud I remembered, I am sure he is going to be doing the All Saints Day Speach and Prayer in all his classes today. Some will have done it many times with him, and will smile, but some will be experiencing it for the first time and will wonder about the liturgical thing. I miss Dr Scalberg, and school sometimes.
