T Minus a Couple Days!

The Musselman family of four is quickly coming to an end..........and soon there will be five!!! It's so miraculous how quickly that changes, and how life as you know it is then changed forever! I haven't posted a whole lot on my pregnancy or taken many progressive pictures of the ever growing belly. As my days or closing in and I have so many thoughts going through my head I just need to get them out!

Warning......pregnant women rambling ahead!!!

Last week when I had my 38 wk apt. my midwife told me that she has jury duty for the next 2 months and didn't know what to expect schedule-wise. This is the first time I've had a midwife and I sort of went this route for the delivery process. Now with that said I would not be devastated if I went on my own and had to have one of the other doctors if she wasn't available. So last week she scheduled me to go in tomorrow(Tues) and see where I'm at and if I'm ready she might induce me based on the fact that she would know her schedule for that day and really that day only (jury duty). Well if it were a different situation I would like to go on my own, but there is a battle going on inside of my head. What ifs......it would just be easier if I could plan it.....I would make sure the girls got to my parents, wouldn't go in the middle of the night, wouldn't have to wait for Aaron to get all the way home from work if I went during the day, have enough time to get to the hospital, have enough time to get an epidural and things could be squared away at home and ready!!! I told you crazy prego rambler!
On to today....I called the office to see if she was in and if she happened to know what her week looked like because I had heard that you call in for the week, not every day like she thought. For a couple reasons, Aaron wouldn't have to take off work and go in with me tomorrow if it is only a check and she could induce me later on in the week. Well, she is in the office all week.....yay! Soooo, I'm supposed to go in tomorrow for my apt and see where I'm at and then she will induce me Wednesday or Thursday! I would prefer Thursday for scheduling purposes for the girls and Aaron's work, but I'll take whichever.
I feel as ready as I think I can be. I still remember the feeling before I had Kate and wondering how you could love another child as much as you love the ones you have. That feeling is coming back, but I know better this time around. I'm just anticipating how the girls are going to handle the transition.....especially Kate who has no clue as to what is coming her way! We don't have our names picked out for sure...well we have our top 2 or 3 names, but I like to go in with the one for a boy and one for a girl. I feel with your third you should be a little more relaxed, but it's always the unknown and also being at a different hospital changes things a little for me.
Now I said I was ready, that meaning physically and mentally but not quite on the home front yet. I did get a lot done with getting the baby stuff ready , but I just need a day to clean the house up!
I'll post an update tomorrow after the appointment......check back if you want to hear more rambling!!!
