Still

Still here.

Still pregnant.

Still working (although today is my last day!).

Still having contractions every single night that are between 3 and 10 minutes apart.

Still having contractions every single night that stop right when I get ready to head to the hospital.

Still disappointed that I won't be induced tomorrow like I had originally thought.

Still amazed that I am walking (and walking and walking and walking on my plan time) around dilated to a 4.

Still nervous...about childbirth, about the baby's size, about getting restretched tomorrow if the little man hasn't made his appearance. (As my mom and aunt so classily put it on Facebook, the doors are off and they are ready to take off the hinges. I'm petrified about the hinge removal at my doctor's appointment tomorrow.)

Still dreaming about holding my baby.

Still beyond excited to finally see him. To snuggle him. To provide for him.

Still giddy that any day now I'll be a mama of 2 boys...my dream come true.

So happy for you, Gina. Can't wait to meet him. And I hope my dream comes true someday too :)

I have refrained from texting you about 18,000 times, as I'm sure you don't need another "Are you in labor yet?" text. But honestly, I am thinking of you. All the time.

Samantha said...

I totally agree with Brittany. I can't wait for the little guy to get here!! I know you can't wait too, but see I'm the goon who wants everyone else to be pregnant because I love a good baby being born story!! Some day I'll have mine but for now I'm totally cool with everyone else having them.

It's so close!

I hope things progress quickly and that everything goes perfectly.

And congrats on getting through your last day of work!

Can't wait for you to have this baby!! My dream was always two boys too, then I got pregnant and wanted a girl, mostly b/c of the cute stuff, but when this little boy popped out (we were surprised) I felt at home. Home with my family, a husband, a son, and me being the only femme! I like adding girly touches, something they will come to love or expect. The provider feeling is amazing! Good luck to you woman, it's any day now. We are thinking of you!

Amy said...

First, you are adorable. I cannot believe how cute you look being 9 months pregnant. How is that possible? (I know you are needing a little love, and thought I would send some your way) You are going to be so ready for him when he does make his appearance. And you will know that when he comes, it will be exactly right. Can't wait! Good luck and hang in there.

Remember...you don't WANT to be induced. So it's probably a blessing in disguise that they can't do it until Monday...I bet you that baby is Just "waitin' for the weekend..." Aren't we all?!? You're a rockstar!!! Try not to think about labor too much...soak in these last few moments with B & L...I think you'll be glad you did :) xoxo.

I have to admit that I check your blog/facebook/twitter 5000000 times a day for news - and SOON IT WILL BE THERE! Can't wait to meet baby boy!

sarahdotcom said...

So excited for you! The first thing I checked on twitter when I came back from Vegas was your timeline to see if the wee one had arrived. Can't wait :)

Lucas Family said...

Gina! So glad that yesterday was your last day! Now you need to spend some extra time with L and survive until baby boy is ready to come! I can't wait to see pictures of him!

Cheryl said...
