Alright, only 9 days to go until my due date! I hope he comes some time next week, but of course we have no idea when it will happen. I've been having contractions, some of them pretty painful, for almost 2 weeks. I'm so used to them that I no longer feel like I'm about to go into labor. Right now it feels like I could be pregnant forever. He is so cramped in there, and when he tries to stretch out it feels like he might pop right out of my cervix and snap one of my ribs at the same time.
Friday was my last day of work. I had a hard time deciding when to leave, but the timing worked out well with my workload and I was feeling so exhausted from the daily grind. My original plan was to work right until I went into labor, but I finally realized that I would be in bad shape if I had to give birth after a long day at the office. I am getting a lot of sleep and finishing up a few things around the house, and hopefully I won't have to use up a lot of my time off before he gets here. I still plan to take off 2 months from the day he's born, and after that Adam is staying home with him, so he'll have plenty of time with Mom and Dad.
Adam will get to celebrate his first Father's Day this year! I wonder if he'll feel like a special day out or if he'll just want some uninterrupted sleep. We've been talking about several things we'd like to get out and do this summer if Little Guy has the right temperament. We've never been big fans of the night life, so if Little Guy is laid back enough we might be able to enjoy a lot of the things we normally do.
Hopefully it's not long now! I can't wait to hold him and kiss him and see who he looks like!
