40 weeks

9 months ago I had honestly reached my breaking point. I never thought we'd get pregnant...but 40 weeks ago I started growing a tiny little human! Now Troy and I are mere days away from holding our son. We had an appointment last Thursday that went much better than the week before. Unfortunately, I hadn't dilated any further. I have another appointment this coming Thursday. We haven't scheduled an official induction but if I haven't gone into labor on my own they will induce me on the 27th. 

We finally have everything ready. We got our crib last week and it is absolutely gorgeous! I am completely in love with it. I went shopping yesterday and bought the last minute things that we needed. The car is packed and today I'll spend my time cleaning the house. After that it's just a waiting game. As long as I'm still pregnant, I will work tomorrow-Friday and then I'll be done! It's my weekend off and Troy and I both thought it was pointless to go back for 1-2 days. It's exciting to know I'm almost done with work. Even if it's going to be stressful caring for a baby, I'm more than ready to be off work! I just keep telling myself, I babysit cashiers on a daily basis...I can handle a newborn! LOL

39 weeks

Hard to believe in 14 minutes I will be 39 weeks! Still feeling pretty good, although we had a pretty tough weekend. Friday I had a doctors appointment and they checked my cervix again. I thought she was digging for friggin' gold up there...it was incredibly painful, I was on the verge of tears. The good news is I dilated to a "1 with some wiggle room." (These doctors are so technical sometimes!) She said she could almost get a second finger in so she called it like a 1 1/2. I bled pretty bad afterwards, it kind of freaked me out but everything turned out ok. Saturday and Sunday I'm pretty sure I lost my mucous plug. I've been losing little chunks since about 25 weeks but the stuff coming out of me this weekend was the single most disgusting thing I've ever seen! Pregnancy is gross...haha! It's exciting (and nerve wracking) to feel all these changes going on. I can't believe baby Logan will be here any day.

I was prepared for the usual, stupid comments starting on or after my due date...but I started getting them a couple days ago. All I can think is "Seriously, I'm not even due yet!" I know most of my coworkers have the best of intentions but what they don't realize is it's not just one person asking me if I've had the baby yet...it's EVERYBODY! Sunday one of my more heavier set cashiers (who also thinks she's my nutritionist) says "We need to get you walking!" The first thought I had was 'I could say the same for you!' It came to my mind so quickly I almost wasn't able to stop it. Then today someone comes up while I'm on the computer and says "Have you had that baby yet?!" I responded with "Yeah, he's underneath the counter. Don't look yet though, we haven't cut the cord!" It's so irritating. I guess I'm one of the lucky few who haven't been completely miserable. It's not so much I want to be done with this pregnancy...I just want to be done with work!!

We have another appointment on Thursday and we're also FINALLY getting our crib (Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
