39 Weeks

I was kind of hoping to not be making this post, lol. Not that I don't want Chloe to stay in there and come when she pleases, but I'd just hoped she be like me and decide to come out 2 weeks early. Oh well, it's a good thing really, and a blessing that we had to chance to have THREE baby showers for her, and I stay at work a while longer and have more to aside and whatnot.

After visiting the two doctors again this week, we ended up with an appointment to be induced on Thursday. They will prep me and get the process started, my doctor will get there the morning after, and we will have a baby in our arms by Friday. It's a bittersweet feeling...I'd love to have her in my arms by Friday, but I want her to be in there as long as SHE needs to, even if I am tired of being the current system  of her transport. That and I REALLY still don't want the drugs. Everything will be alright though, I'm sure of that. So far the apartment is almost completely ready, for her and us to just comfortably live in. Her room and bathroom are all decorated and set up, we have a bassinet in our room and just need to straighten up some things, the kitchen was done shortly after we moved in, and the living room just needs some pictures and decoration put in the right places. We're "ready" (I mean is anyone really?)!

I pretty much no longer have a belly button...

This week for Chloe:

• 5 lbs 15 oz (yaay, nice and healthy and growing!)
• Her brain is still getting larger and more and more awesome
• Her skin has turned from pink to white because a thicker layer of fat is covering her blood vessels...pigmentation occurs shortly after birth

The end is in sight. We have a finite date that she will be here by, even though she could come at any time. Granny is coming back in town (she was here for our wedding a few months ago ^_^) to stay with us and help us with Chloe soon! Life is pretty good and I can't wait to make life for Chloe awesome!
