Dr.

Korbyn will be here on the 4th, if not before then! I had a dr. appointment this past Friday and I thought for sure she was going to check my cervix this time, I was so excited. Come to find out she didn't think it was necessary at this point yet! She said we're only going to do the group b strep test to see if I'll need antibiotics when I deliver and that if she really wants me to be checked she will, but she said since I'll be back in a week why go through the discomfort if I didn't have to...which I guess I agree with but now I'm kicking myself because even though I know nothing has progressed down there, you still never know! She took me by complete surprise when she came in and said she put down an induction date on the calendar, I was like "whoa! Already?" but I don't know what I was thinking, I'm already 37 weeks! I guess I kept telling myself we had plenty of time still. It feels like I've been pregnant for so long that it almost seems like this is how my body is supposed to be! I can't believe she's almost here. She then asked how I felt and if anything has changed and I told her "I have to be honest, I thought I would be MUCH more miserable at this point, but I can't lie, I STILL feel great!"  Am I exhausted at the end of the day?  Sure.  Am I ready to have my body back?  Absolutely.  But really, I expected much worse.  And who knows, I might be speaking too soon and my misery is just around the corner!  Then she felt her and said she's definitely head down and ready to go and that she feels like a good size, definitely not too big.  So now it really feels like a waiting game.  I'm glad that we have a definite date on the calendar but I told Colton I've got a strong feeling that we need to be ready before then...just in case :)  I have had at least five people tell me in the past week that I won't make it to November, we'll just have to wait and see!

So of course we decided that it's close enough to put the carseats in the vehicles.  I have to say I feel kind of silly riding around with an empty carseat in my car, but I'm glad we put them in already.  It took us reading the instruction manual and at least 20 minutes to put it in!  I've put in dozens of carseats but I guess we wanted to make sure this one was in perfectly.  Colton was actually the pickier one in this case.  He would put it in, wiggle it around and take it back out and put it back in a little tighter each time...trust me, this carseat isn't going anywhere.  Now we just have to finish packing our bag and we're good to go.  I have another appointment this Friday and thankfully Colton will be able to come with me, this is actually only his second time to go.  He could have gone to all of them with me but we decided that it would be nice if he could take some time off with me after she's born, so he's planning on taking that whole next week off to stay home and help out.  It will be great because that will literally be the first vacation time that he will be taking in two years!  Although I don't know how much of a "vacation" he'll get, but it sure will be nice for his sake.  The poor thing works so hard and he only gets Thanksgiving and Christmas off the entire year, so I know he's excited to finally take some days off. 

We finally have her room all ready to go!  I'll try and post some pictures of it this week.  Wish us luck!  :)
