The Final Countdown

Well, we did it. We didn’t have a baby, but we’ve got it scheduled for Monday morning at 8am. So if I don’t pop in the next 2.5 days we’ve got a back up plan. It feels good to have an “end” in sight. I took a “stress test” today and the baby is happy and healthy. I’m slightly more dialated than last week and I’ve been feeling more contractions so who knows… I may have this baby this weekend. It would be fun to have baby G today because today is my sister Sherrie’s birthday. And tomorrow is Lola Petillo’s 1st birthday so… I’ve got my fingers crossed. It would be fun to share our special day with one of our favorite people. In the meantime, my plan is to station myself in front of our A/C and watch some HGTV. I just realized I’ve got only 2.5 more days to work this whole pregnancy thing. 😉 “Matt, could you go get me a coke and an ice cream sandwich?”
