So... Friday was my last day at work for 12 weeks! Don't worry- I know I'll have my hands full :) Monday I had my last doctor's appointment, and Tim and I went to eat at the legendary "Scalini's." The guarantee is that the eggplant parmesan will have me in labor within 48 hours (and if so, you get a baby t-shirt and a $25 gift card). This evening (Tuesday) we were told to call the hospital to see if there is a bed available in Labor and Delivery at 4:30. I've made the call- and they instructed us to call back at 6:30PM. I hope this doesn't continue all night! Once there is a spot for us, we will check into the hospital! The doctors will start getting my cervix ready (sorry if that's TMI), and then Wednesday morning they will induce the contractions!

40 weeks pregnant!
Therefore, Monday and Tuesday were my last "free" days before baby Brooks changes everything (I can't wait). The plan was to spend these days relaxing and sleeping so that I am fresh for Wednesday. But if you know me, I have been busy getting last minute things in order. Monday I re-packed our hospital bags, washed sheets, did dishes, organized our guest room downstairs where we will stay for the first days home, grocery shopped, picked up a few things at Home Depot, visited the doctor, and then had my last dinner date with my husband without a precious baby on my mind! Today was finally my chance to relax... and I took advantage of it! I spent the day sleeping, reading, taking a bath, and just resting. It was the perfect way to prepare for Brooks- now I can't wait until he is here!
All in all, I am overjoyed to know that my baby boy will be in my arms in the next few days! We have waited so long to finally see his face and hold him! Look out for updates to come, although no promises on how soon my next blog post comes out!
