Well friends, no baby yet! Part of me wants to have this baby out of me so badly and part of me can wait to meet him. We went to church yesterday and the pastor did a sermon on worrying. I say that to tell you that I worry about things. I worry about things that I cannot change and things that are silly to worry about. I do have a question for you moms out there, how do you not worry? I wanted to yell from my seat in church yesterday, "how do you expect me to not worry when I'm about to give birth for the first time in the next week or so"? The pastor said that when we worry, it's a signal that we need to pray. So, I did a lot of praying yesterday, especially when I couldn't sleep because I was worrying about things. I worry about the whole labor and delivery process. I've never done this before so I have no idea what to expect and I don't think the class we took at the hospital did all that to prepare us. Don't get me wrong, I learned things during the class but really how can you prepare for childbirth when you've never done it before? I worry about my water breaking at work or the store or anywhere but home for that matter. I trust God and I know He has a plan for us, I just have issues with not knowing the plan. I admit it, I'm a control freak! I wish I had that happy go lucky attitude where not much mattered and I wasn't a control freak. Josh is a little like that so I guess that's why we make a good couple.
I've been feeling a little crampy over these past few weeks. It kinda comes and goes, but is definitely uncomfortable. I would take some Advil if I wasn't pregnant and these were menstrual cramps. I have another doctor appointment today and I'm hoping there is some progress going on down there. The doctor said that if my due date comes and there is no baby that he'll have me wait another week. He said there is a higher incidence of c-sections when inducing first time moms. So, pray that I go into labor on my own and I don't have to be induced or have a c-section. I will do what is best for the baby, whatever that may be.
Josh and I had a date night on Friday, since it might be our last one before the baby gets here. We had a delicious dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and we even had dessert. We hardly ever get dessert, but this was a treat for us!
