Countdown - 1 hour

Well this is it. It's been a few days since my last blog, and a lot has happened. After the midwife changed her mind TWICE on us regarding induction, we switched to a different doctor in the practice. The result - we are being induced this morning (March 4, 2010) at 6:00 am. I am a bit nervous, a lot excited, and 100% ready. I had a hard time getting sleep last night (although J said I was snoring quite a bit). Amazingly, I am wide awake and rearing to go. We are going to stop at Dunkin Donuts on the way to get a nice bagel with cream cheese and a cup of coffee before our big day. I never thought this day would come, but we are going to finally meet our boy today. Here is to a quick, easy, and eventless labor and delivery :)

Yoga, Kicks, and the Countdown Begins!

For anyone out there who is battling the backaches of pregnancy (which can be quite painful as we all know) I highly suggest prenatal Yoga. For a couple of weeks now the backpain has been near unbearable. I hadn't gone to my Yoga class in awhile, so I decided to try it again last night to see if it would help. I feel like a whole new person today! My backache is gone (for the time being) and I feel more energized. I slept much better last night too! So ladies - PRENATAL YOGA!!!

On the kicking front, B is an active little boy today. I wonder if it is the cold weather (30 degrees in Florida?!) Whatever it is, it's nice to feel because I know he is doing OK in there. Kick away little boy - kick away.

Lastly - we are in the beginnings of the final countdown (queue Europe's final countdown song lol). Tomorrow - 8 weeks and counting until we meet our boy. I am so excited for that day I am just praying these next few weeks fly by. I should start working from home the beginning of February (just waiting on the final approval) and then before we know it he will be here! We are all set for him. His nursery was finished over the weekend - all we have left to do is push him out! Well - and a few other things like kid proof the house, pack my hospital bag, get the animals used to their tails being pulled - you know - the usual :)

Half Way There!

Today marks the halfway point of the 2ww. 7 dpiui and 7 more to go until the official bloodwork pregnancy test. I personally want to cave and take one on Sunday (Father's day - I thought our dad's would enjoy a BFP) but I don't think J will be OK with that. I'm going to ask what she thinks though. Poor thing went to the dentist today and isn't feeling too good at the moment!

And here go the symptoms:

A massive amount of hearburn.
Slight cramping on and off - mostly off.
Extremely conjested (I think this may be from a cold).
Feeling fat - would like to think this is bloating - as that would be another symptom - but I will go ahead and say it is truly due to the fact that I overate b/c I was bored at work today).

And there you have it - my positive thinking has declined a bit and I'm starting to think I shouldn't be so excited. Off to shower away my negative thoughts.
