Well, April 2nd has come and gone, and nothing really of interest is going on. It's kind of strange, but even though the probability of BL's arrival increases each day, we feel like the anticipation has kind of diminished a little bit, and we've been pretty laid back the past couple of days. It just totally makes you crazy to dwell every day for weeks on the fact that it could happen any time. So I'm just trying not to think about it too much, which is fine, because I'm as ready as I can be. Also it makes me a little nervous because I know it'll probably be the hardest thing I've ever done, and there is so much potential for things to go wrong or not the way we would hope, so I'm definitely just trying to relax and enjoy life as a non-mommy while I still can.
I am looking forward to not being pregnant anymore, though. I miss my flat stomach and being able to fit regular clothes, work out, sleep in any position I want, drink wine and beer, eat sushi and cold roast beef sandwiches, etc. I went shopping with Sara last week and saw all kinds of things I'd like to wear if only I were skinny again! Instead I just bought big comfy cotton pants and nursing bras. :(
At the last doctor's appointment, I was dilated to 1cm (same as the previous two weeks). Each day, I feel like I'm carrying her lower and lower, and Sara said she could see that I got bigger even in the few days she was visiting. I told BL she should just come out, and do her growing on the outside! But I know she just needs to wait until she's ready. In the meantime, John tells her a story every night and she seems to be doing fine in terms of size, position, movement, and heartbeat.
