Today is my last day of work....today at 12:30pm I start my maternity leave and am off work until November 2nd. It feels a little strange to be going on maternity leave when there isn't a baby yet, but who knows maybe by Monday Small Fry will be here and then everything will be all crazy. As of my Dr. Appt yesterday I am at 2.5 dilated 50% effaced and about 3 for the baby being engaged. I am really surprised that I am that dilated and no baby yet. When I went into the hospital with Alanna in active labor I was only at 2. So maybe any day. My Dr is on call on Sunday so maybe I will get lucky and be able to have her help deliver. I have another appt scheduled for next Thursday and if we haven't had Small Fry by then we will schedule my inducement for the following week. She said that that don't let you go past 41 weeks and 3 days so hopefully baby will definitely be here by August 27Th at the latest. I don't know if I can wait that long. Oh well nothing I can do about it.
Alanna starts school in a little over two weeks, Tuesday September 2nd. She is so excited. She told me the other day she can't wait to go back she love school. She has her school supplies and her school bag packed she is almost ready. She is also really happy that I get to take her to her first day of school. I am too. Her project this summer has been Perler Beads. She makes these amazing pictures out of these beads on little peg boards and then we iron them. We want to put magnets on them and stick them to her bunk beds but we can't seem to find good magnets.
Everything is going well with Mark at work. He is pretty much like me at this point just waiting for Small Fry. He will get to take a couple weeks off once the baby comes so it would be really nice to have the baby NOW so we can have a couple weeks together..all home...at the same time when the baby comes.
Hope all is well with you. Hopefully we will have to update again really soon with pictures of our Larger family.
