In less than one week we'll have a baby!
I saw my doctor on Friday and things are fine right now, but she has some concerns about me going past my due date, so if I haven't gone into labor by Friday she's inducing me. I'm normally against inducing, but in this situation it seems like what's best for both of us and our health. I've always said I'd put my babies' safety ahead of my own preferences. So while it may be different than I hoped, the important thing is he gets here safe and sound. I just can't believe I'm going to be a mother in less than a week! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time!
With so little time left we're scrambling to get everything done around the house to get things ready for him. Our dining room has kind of been our storage room the past few months, so we need to get it organized and move what doesn't need to be in there out. Then of course we need to get all of Jason's stuff ready. Luckily this has been going well as it's pretty fun going through all the gifts from the baby shower! Our friends and family were really generous and got us so much of the stuff we needed, plus some things we hadn't thought of, but will be very useful! We also got some great used stuff from friends whose kids have outgrown it.
I'll try to post pictures of Jason using and wearing the stuff people have given us. Our friends and family have great taste!
Today I'm going to work on packing my hospital bag. I'm not totally sure what to bring since I've never done this before, so let me know if you have suggestions! They told me to plan for a 5 day stay, so most of this is for after he's born. Aside from the obvious stuff (clothes, toiletries, etc) here's what I have so far:
-My Kindle Fire (for books and games)
-Money for snacks in case the cafeteria is closed
-An activity/puzzle book
-Camera (video and still)
-Nursing pillow, lanolin, nursing pads
