I'm still working (much to the dismay of some of my co-workers...) and I'm pretty proud of the fact that I was able to work throughout my whole pregnancy. I know I am a rare one, but working lifts my spirits more than anything else, really... and definitely helps the time to go by. However, if we're being honest, I can't imagine my mind being able to focus on anything else but baby if I am past-due so my last day will probably be tomorrow.
I'm still sleeping well. The most I've woken up a night is two times and I can usually fall right back asleep. There have been a few times where I'd wake up around 4am and couldn't quite get myself to settle down so I've been taking advantage of it and checking things off the to-do list around the apartment.
Can I also just take a second here and talk about how happy I am that baby boy didn't come before or during the move? Hallelujah! There are still a lot of little things that need to get done (on our end & on management's end), but I'd be totally okay bringing him home to the state of our apartment right now.
It has been super fun opening up all of our clothes and gifts again from the shower and getting things put away in his nursery. I am so blown away by how many people already love and spoiled this baby boy. We were gifted the crib pictured by my in-laws and let me just say that there is nothing more attractive for a nesting mama-to-be than to see her husband assemble a crib :)
In other news, I had my 39 week Doctors appointment yesterday aaaaaaaaaand there's not much to report. I am 2cm dialated and 80% effaced (the last doctor exaggerated). I know those numbers don't necessarily mean anything but I won't lie, I was a bit bummed. The Doctor also swept my membranes in hopes to get things moving along a bit. TMI alert, but he said that I may have some spotting or cramping following the procedure. Did I? Nope. I wasn't even uncomfortable afterwards. This baby is not ready to go anywhere!
I am technically due this Sunday, but my next appointment is scheduled for Tuesday the 31st where we will schedule my induction. He doesn't typically let his patients go more than a week overdue so I can at least have assurance that we will meet our baby boy in 10 days or less! Richard would like to doom the poor kid for life by scheduling his birthday on April Fool's day but I will not tolerate such abuse for my peanut even if he is being a stubborn little thing :)
In the meantime, I will be testing out any tried and true wives tales that I can! Baby Rindlisbacher, your Dad and I are sooo excited to meet you :)
