Geez Louise we've made it full term! Praise the Lord! At this point, if our little fella decides to show up he'd be able to leave the hospital with us when it's time to go. Our next appointment is a few days away and I'm excited to see whether or not we've dilated or effaced any! It's hard to believe we have less than 3 weeks until he could possibly be here--thankfully we at least know for sure he'll be born before the end of this month so he'll be a 2012 baby! And, can you believe today's December 1st?! I finished the last of my Saturday classes, so at least I'm good to go for meeting re-certification requirements for the next five years! It'll be interesting to see if I stay at BHS in the next five years or if God will have other plans.
In the meantime, we met our goal of having everything ready for the baby before December--the last thing we really wanted/needed was a glider w/ottoman--and praise the Lord we found one in Roanoke for $60 and it's in the BEST condition of any we've seen! Wahoo! With everything ready, I'm hoping this means we'll be able to enjoy the last of our time together as a couple before the baby arrives!
Also, I had an appointment on my birthday (which kind of sucked but oh well)--it was the first one Adam wasn't able to make it to so I was a bit uneasy to begin with. Well, the doctor I saw wasn't the one of my choice--he doesn't have bedside manners, but I was stuck with him for this week. His nurse came in all cheerful to say that he would be checking my cervix, and forgive me for saying this, but I thought all he would do was look down at my lady parts; I had no idea he would jab, yes JAB his fingers up inside of me (btw I found out I wasn't dilated or effaced any)!!! Let's just say I wanted to crawl in a hole and die! He gave no mention of what he would do and what to expect and it hurt like crazy! What a jerk! I know it made my husband feel terrible, too since he couldn't be there and had to hear me complain of this second hand, but let me be clear, I will not be seeing this doctor for the rest of our pregnancy and I pray to God he's noth the one that delivers our little boy! Welp, now that you've got the lowdown on our latest appointment, it's time for me to run--the hubbs is about to get off work and we're gonna go get our Christmas tree! As always, check out our little fella's progress below!
