38 weeks and only 7 days left

Today was my last appointment and I wasn't sad at all. I figured I would be but I gladly took my orders and paperwork and smiled as I left. Dr. Lawler said he will start the section at 7am and by 7:15 I'll have a baby. This is a treat compared to Carson, I labored with him for 22 hours. My goal this week is to take it easy and stay indoors. I didn't get my 38 week picture this morning so I'll have to try later, but I assure you that it is becoming less fun to take pictures now that I am at the "om my gosh your huge" looking stage as one of the youth boys told me yesterday!

It is extremely CRAZY for me to think in a week from now I will have 2 children. I really think I'm in denial. I've been sleeping really well but last night I woke around 4:30 to use the bathroom and then started to daydream about the baby. My excitement overcame me that I had 1 week left and I couldn't fall back asleep until 6:30. So a nap while Carson naps is on the agenda today.

My parents decided to surprise us and came in Saturday night, mainly to see Carson, and stayed the night and went with us to church yesterday. It is very exciting that in 4 short days they will be back for the new baby. Saturday night we went over to Coy's house so Carson could play with Coy's turtles and then I picked Outback as our restaurant. I was really wanting some cheese fries and they worth my hour + of indigestion later that night.

Everything is packed, installed, and set up, and I've even started to lend out my maternity clothes that I just can't fit into anymore and I've started to pull out the after the baby comes clothes.

I have been watching a ton of the Baby Story the last few weeks and getting reminded of alot things I forgot about. I'm not sure someone should watch this show who is about to be going through that very soon. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing about the reminders. I also am trying to remind myself that I'm going to be sore after the surgery, but I don't at all remember hurting or anything but just being fine.That is going to be a rude awakening when I come out of recovery.

I remember when I was in recovery for Carson I kept rubbing ice on my eyes to wake up so I could be awake and alert to see him. The nurse kept promising me I would be awake when I saw him and that I need to just sleep for now. This time I'm going to try to make myself just go to sleep in recovery and know that shortly I'll see my baby.

Hopefully you won't hear from me for a few days and baby stays in until next Monday.
