Waiting on Showtime
I have been in Texas for over two months now and my gorgeous hubby is deployed overseas. I have had baby showers and received lots of wonderful gifts for Cayle. I spent many days washing, organizing, and getting everything put away and ready for his arrival. I have been ready for about three weeks now. Let's just say this has been the looooongest three weeks. They say you usually do your "nesting" right before baby arrives but mine has been done and I am just here tapping my feet....well, more like walking my feet...waiting on his arrival.
My doc told me to 1)walk as much as I can and 2)have sex. ehmmm Well, the second tip is a little bit of a problem since my hubby is a million miles away. :(
But I have been walking my little heart out. I go for a good long walk at least once or twice a day.
I have been getting to sleep-in and rest whenever need be but I also try to stay busy. I wake up everyday wondering if today is going to be "The Day". However, as of now I am still 3 days away from his due date. I trust in the Lord that Cayle will show when he is ready. And there is nothing I can do about it. But gosh darn doesn't he know that Mommy and Daddy and family and friends are all ready to meet him!?? We are ready! ;)
My doctor gave me the option to get induced this past Sunday. I declined. I really want to have him naturally with no drugs. There is no reason why he needs to come out early. I have been blessed with a wonderful pregnancy/no complications. So, as of now I don't feel the need to put my baby at risk with drugs if it isn't necessary. Now if he is overdue then I will re-consider. But as of now I am all for waiting on him to come when he is ready.
I am so excited to hold him, feed him, stare at him, and watch him grow. I am also so excited to see how Morgan is with him. Morgan will not get to come home for Cayle's birth but he will be able to be with me in labor and delivery via webcam. I am so thankful for that. Morgan is so excited for Cayle to get here too. He says we are all he thinks about. We can't wait for our family to be of 3. :)
I am beyond thankful for Morgan and his service. It definitely saddens me that he can't be here for the birth of our son. However, I have to focus on the good: We are being blessed with a son and that is something in itself that I will forever be grateful. Cayle will understand one day that his father was serving our country but still loving him and providing for him from a million miles away. That makes me smile.
As far as I go, I am feeling good. I definitely get tired in the afternoons and sometimes require a cat nap to keep going. But other than that I am getting along fine. I do have Braxton Hicks constantly and get uncomfortable sitting down for too long. Sleep filled nights are so sporadic. Some nights I can't sleep hardly at all and others I sleep great. But what huge pregnancy chic doesn't sleep well...right??
Well, I am not sure what else to say besides I am ready to meet our little boy and can't wait to be the best mother I can be to him.
