Bring on Baby!

YAY! We are getting so close to baby coming and everything is almost ready.  I am working on a couple of sewing project to get done for him and myself, and I should probably make some meals I can freeze for after he comes, but other than that I am ready! As ready as I can be.
This past Monday I was 34 weeks and that means plus or minus 6 more to go.  I have a hunch that he will come a bit earlier than 40 weeks (at least I am hoping).  Actually just hoping he comes when he is ready.  Baby has been measuring a week ahead at all of my appointments so that is why I think he will be ready before the 15th of October.  Plus if having Braxton Hicks contractions all the time is any indication of being ready, then it is probably going to be sooner than later.  Leave it to mother nature though to prove me wrong though.
I am getting excited for a whole different birth experience too.  Last time I was on bedrest for a month, had high blood pressure and was induced, and labor was 16 hours.  I did not like any of that, so hopefully this time things will be different.  So far I don't have any high blood pressure so that is a relief and the midwives told me the second time around labor is like half the time.  I am hoping to have that moment when I am at home doing the dishes and labor starts or sleeping and my water breaks. The more spontaneous the better right?  I am also hoping to do a natural birth.  I have been reading a few books about it and no doubt if you are healthy and pregnancy going well, it is the best thing for you and the baby. I know this in my mind and hopefully I can stick to it and that no complications come up.

I am ready to have my lap back and to have Jet climb all over me without having to shield my stomach, sleep on my stomach, among other things.  I just can't wait to see his face, his little toes and give him big kisses!
