Still here...

Yep, I'm still here. Still pregnant. Just in case there are any strangers out there that follow my blog. The plan is for me to be induced on Thursday night, so it's expected for the official arrival to be on Friday, May 15th. Yay! Finally! Light at the end of the tunnel...er maybe literally?! ha ha! I've been having a lot of contractions, last night they even woke me up from my deep slumber. But, I guess they puttered out and haven't had much going on since I got up. My midwife keeps telling me that third pregnancies are the weirdest so... I guess all the contractions just play into that. I've been Believing for a manageable and quick labor, so maybe all these contractions are good, getting the body ready so that when labor kicks in for real, it will go fast. I'm confident it will go smoothly.

I had a great Mother's Day. We spent it will all parts of our family, it was very nice. The night before, I was really missing my Grandma. I had been in a pretty bad mood all day Saturday and then it kind of hit me like a ton of bricks... my first Mother's Day without her. I had a good cry, then felt a lot better. I miss her terribly. I am so sad that she isn't here to share in my excitement and joy for my daughter. I know she would have been so happy for us to finally be getting our girl. I'm sure she'll be "visiting" us from the other side, but gee, it would just be nice if I could converse with her!! I had a dream about her a few weeks ago that was pretty funny. I dreamt that her and I were at Bob Evans and the waitress pointed out that a tornado was coming. We just sat there. When it was over, she wanted to go back to her house to change her clothes or something. I was like, "grandma, your clothes are gone." She said, "WHAT!??!?!" and I had to tell her that she'd been dead for over 6 months and we got rid of her stuff. She was really mad (about getting rid of her stuff).

Okay, well kids want breakfast. Suppose I should feed them and myself. Have a great day!
