I feel like I should post something....

So the due date has officially come and gone.  Not that I am surprised...  I did not expect him to be early, as did many members of the Boyer family-who all picked dates before yesterday.  Bob picked Friday evening, so we'll see if his new Daddy instincts (if there are such things) are right.

I am feeling ok, still sleeping at night for the most part and still working.  No contractions or any weird stuff going on.  Just a sore back and stomach muscles.  I am finding myself being pretty patient with the whole thing.  I am not miserable yet, and still not freaking out.  (thank goodness!)  Bob is being pretty chill about it too.  I don't go back to the Dr. until Monday the 1st, but hopefully he will be here by then.  If not, I don't think he'll let me go much longer.  I almost did not get an appointment with him-it's his first day back in the office after his 2 week trip.  Thankfully, his nurse came to my rescue and fit me in on Monday at 4.  I will keep everyone posted, but am hoping he will arrive this weekend sometime-that's when it's easiest for the family to come. 

So that's the scoop-not much to report, I'm afraid.  Keep us in your prayers! 

I can't believe I'm not freaking out...

So here I am with a looming due date (1 week from tomorrow) and I am surprised at how calm I am.  I kinda figured that at this point I would be awake all night worried about my upcoming hospital visit-but I'm not.  (I was up, however, for about 2 hours the other night wondering how I will begin to explain to my child all of the evil in this world, but I think that's a whole nuther blog post...)  Don't get me wrong, I have had a few moments of thinking that I will be in the hospital and that this child has to come out somehow, but not moments of panic like I expected.  Maybe this is just part of becoming a mom.  I mean, I'm pretty sure if I were having my appendix out or some other surgery I would have some anxiety about the procedure (mostly because I have NEVER had surgery before or even and IV...), but I am not really dreading this process.  I guess the thought of bringing home a sweet baby boy makes things much more bearable. 

In other news, I am still sleeping pretty well and actually feeling pretty great.  I saw the new doc on Friday (who reminded me a little of Dustin Hoffman) and had an ultra sound. According to the ultrasound, baby Jonas already weighs almost 8 lbs-but nothing's happening.  So now we wait.  I am excited about his arrival, but enjoying this time before he comes.  Bob has just this weekend wrapped up his college classes until January, so I plan on enjoying the free time with my husband in the evenings.  I know it's a relief for him to have this little break, and I'm sure we will both be grateful that he will not have homework when Jonas arrives.

Well, that is all for now.  I go back to see the doc on Friday.  I will be sure to keep everyone posted with Jonas news!
