Only 4 Weeks Left

YESS!!! We have made it to the final countdown! I'm thrilled! The past four days I have felt great! I mean, of course uncomfortable, but last month seems like every day was impossibly uncomfortable. Maybe the womb finally grew big enough for this kid to fit. I hope the remainder of this time is spent semi-comfortably.

Dr. Update:
I went to Dr. Sumsion on Wednesday, July 15th.

The nurse said we are going to check this and that...and then she said "and schedule your induction" and I said "What?" thinking she had me and another patient confused. I said, "for me? you know I've got four weeks left, right?" She said she knows but that they still like to get them scheduled. And I said "oh, well, I don't want to be induced." and she said "well, he likes to schedule them between 39 weeks and no farther than a couple of days past your due date." and I was like...ok (I'm not gonna do that) and never brought it up to the doc and he never said anything, so I am just gonna try to go on my own, none of this scheduling nonsense.

Anyway, the update is great. I am dilated 1-1.5! I don't think I dilated till much later with Porter, so I am thrilled to see the first sign that the end is near.

The pee trips are becoming more and more frequent.
Sleeping has been a real chore.
It's incredibly hot in our house, No AC except the swamp cooler in Porter's room, which usually does a fine job of cooling us off. But I feel bad having it on at night because Porter would get so cold. We tried it last night and I went to check on Port during a routine potty break and he was FREEZING. So I turned it off.

I am moody. Sometimes I just turn into a bad mood...thinking to myself "why am I so grouchy?" and there Isn't a reason in the world....i just am. As a matter of fact, Sunday I woke up in a fine mood, but by the time I had gotten to church, I was in no mood to interact with people and be normal, so I just went home. Maybe I just needed those couple of hours to be alone, because I was just fine after. (Or maybe I subconsciously wanted to skip church. :)
