Still Waiting, But Not For Long
I don't have a lot of time to talk. I am on my way to TRY to get Travis the new Metallica Death Magnetic CD as a surprise. I'm feeling good today, for a change, so I'm going to chance the trip because I know how much it would mean to him to get this CD. Plus, he really deserves the surprise...he has been taking such good care of me and has had to put up with alot of crap from me lately...(sorry honey).
But you probably want to know about the baby. He is fine. There is still not much of a change as far as dilation goes. The dr. made me an appt. to come back on Tuesday the 16th and if I haven't had him by then she will schedule me to be induced either Wednesday or Thursday. So, I'll be a Mommy in less than a week! I am still a nervous wreck, but I'm starting to settle down alittle by just trying to stay focused on the baby, and not how bad it could be for me. My dr. had a talk with me yesterday to help settle me down. I was impressed that she did that because she sure didn't have to take the time. She said that it will hurt, but they are there to treat the pain, I know labor will not last forever, and I will get something really good at the end. I thought that was so nice of her. And I am very thankful that I made it past September 11th. The other good news is that my dr. is the one on call this weekend, and she takes her own patients during the weekdays so odds are I'll be able to have my own dr. deliver the baby. I am very comfortable with her, and Travis likes her, so I'm very happy about that.
So until next time...

How exciting, less than one week and your little man will be here. Don't get yourself worked up over labor and what not. Things happen so fast you don't remember it and it is all worth it once he's in your arms. With Zachary I got the epidural very early on so I didn't feel labor, with Ben it was a scheduled c-section although I was in labor the morning I went to the hospital.
It will be alright. I can't wait to see pictures! GOOD LUCK!!!
Oh that is SO EXCITING!!! It's hard not to worry about the labor, but try not to. They know what they are doing and will make you as comfortable as possible. Good to hear about your doc being on call!

That is so exciting to know that little baby Gibson will be here in less than a week! I'm sure everything will go well. I'm with you on the whole pain thing - I'm scared about how much it will hurt. But like you, I'm trying to concentrate on what I'll have in the end.
Good luck!
