The Long Wait

Last Friday was my official last day at work before going on my maternity leave. It was also Stella's checkup at Kaiser Mountain View.

My doctor said that she hasn't completely dropped and I might have a week or so before we see some progress. My huge pregnant self already called for rest though so she signed off my doctor's note advising me to take my time off.

My mom got here on the 26th of March and we've been preparing since then. Gary got me my mommy van so I had to say goodbye to my Acura. I like this new ride--really spacious and perfect for Stellalella's baby gear. As I type this, her car seat is already sitting at the back of the van and my hospital bag is ready to go. Gary is also scrubbing away, disinfecting Stella's area and making sure all the basic baby things are out.

I really feel that Stella's on her way. I'm heavier than ever and I get so tired so easily. She has another doctor's appointment tomorrow so we'll have a better idea of what to expect in the coming days. My due date is the 17th so anything's possible now. Needless to say, we are SO EXCITED!!!
