LAST CHECK-UP!!!!

Well Ross and I had our last check-up appointment yesterday!! I didn't gain any weight so throughout my pregnancy I have gained a GRAND TOTAL of 29 POUNDS so far!!! I weigh exactly 150 POUNDS....gosh....that sounds like so much!!!! We found out that I am still 2 cm dilated which means she will wait until Monday, September 29th to induce me UNLESS he decides to come before then!! Yea!! I really hung low this past weekend because I truly wanted to go as near to 40 weeks as possible with a boy....and I guess Jaxton thinks the same!!! ALSO....I get a few more days of SLEEP and CHILLIN' OUT time before our lives completely change!!! We walked outside last night and that was a sight...I waddled and had to stop a few times from nerve pains in my upper legs because he is pressing on them and a few contractions!! What will it feel like to run again???? Can't wait!!

She wants to induce me so that he doesn't get too big that he won't fit through my pelvis....THAT'S A-OK with me!!!! Actually September 29th was the original due date for him back when all this started!! I will be 39 weeks by then!!

So Monday morning I will be admitted to Memorial City Hospital at 5am where she said I can get comfortable and take a nap since it is so early...Yea right....nap?? I will be WAY TOO EXCITED to NAP!!! She will then break my water and get me hooked up to an IV to start my contractions and go from there. She thinks he will be born sometime around 3:15 p.m.

My Mom has been carrying around a cooler full of Champagne waiting for the moment I call her to tell her I'm in labor....she's way too excited too!!!! She and I are both PLANNERS so maybe this PLANNED induction is exactly what we needed!!!

I did something yesterday that I thought I would never do....I hired a MAID service!!! I figured as much as I like my house to be so tidy and clean I needed to take that pressure off of myself so I can really enjoy being a Mom...not to say that I won't get that Pledge can still and run over a few items...I think I actually have Pledge that comes out of my fingers like Mary Poppins with the orange juice and milk!! HAHA!! It was pretty funny though because she said my house was "so clean" and when she rubbed her finger across the baseboards to see how bad they were...to her surprise....she couldn't find any dust particles!!!! We laughed!!! Okay I know, I'm a little OCD when it comes to having things be clean BUT it makes the house feel so refreshing!!! She will be really helpful after our parties though!!!

I also cooked all day on Monday so I could freeze some good cooked food if for some reason I am too tired to get into the kitchen!! Ha!! At least it's football season and Grillin' time for Ross!!!

Well our bags are packed, the cameras charged up, the car seat installed, toes painted, baby stuff all washed and ready to be put to the test, champagne on ice ( thanks again MOM ), and last but not least we are pretty well rested!! So let the GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!!!
