I have officially been on vacation from work for the last three days. I'm already bored. I'm exhausted. But bored. I'm definitely ready to meet this guy. This week has us finishing our 37th week. The little guy can come any time now and be considered by all accounts "full-term". Which is the exact point I wanted to get to. Working in a hospital you can always tell when a baby is born before "37 weeks". As a 'just in case', they have to have some specialists on hand in case help is needed. You wouldn't think much happens from 36 weeks to 37, but let me tell you from the hospital intercom, apparently a lot can happen!
I see the doc again on Thursday and I'm sure I'll continue to get that more anxious. It seems that this has been the longest 37 weeks of my life, and now I am stunned that we're already at 37 weeks! And is this guy ever loved. I've been the lucky gal of not one, but three baby showers. We have everything we need or could want and our son is starting his life on the right foot.
Interestingly it was a lot harder to leave work than I thought. It was a bittersweet day. While I was ready for a break and time off to get the house in order and get as much rest as I can because everyone keeps telling me I'll need it! But it feels weird to leave such a huge piece of me behind. Work has been such a big part of my life and while I'm moving on to a new "job" for the next year, I am going to miss going in every day and doing what I do. Although, this could all change the day we bring baby boy home.
The husband and I are getting antsy and we are crossing our fingers that he comes soon and healthy with all this toes and fingers.We are definitely on baby watch. 37
I just can't wait to meet him!
