Book shower

My friend Yvonne graciously hosted a small shower at me last week. Since I have most of everything I need for a baby, she suggested the guests bring children's books as gifts. What a treat. All of the books were so thoughtful; I have read a few to Elliott already and am looking forward to being able to read them to both boys over the next few years. You can see pictures of some of the books at my friend Becky's blog (I am too lazy to go find a camera right now; in fact, I'm too lazy to do much of anything.)

And that brings me to a pregnancy update. I will be 39 weeks on Wednesday. I wasn't dilated at my last appointment, but there's other evidence that things are moving along toward delivery. I am much more impatient this time around than with Elliott. With him, I had prepared myself to to wait it out, even two weeks over my due date would have been acceptable to me because I had mentally prepped myself to be late. But now, I am more than ready to get this show started. I doubt that I will be induced or try any other measures like membrane stripping before my due date; however, if I go over, I'm just not sure what I'll do. I really am tired of being pregnant. It has come over me suddenly to be incredibly put out by carrying this child any longer. He needs to just come on down and out.
