I've been mentally making a list of why this is good...
- More time to rest/nap/watch movies/hang out with my hubby...all the things I won't be doing for a long, long time...
- More time to mentally adjust to his upcoming arrival and the incredible change this will bring...
- He'll be a March baby, like me (my b-day is March 30), which is what I've been expecting all along anyway...
- There's no way Dr. E will let me go past my EDD (March 11) so he really will be here sooner or later...
- The more dilating/effacing/contracting my body can start on its own, the less the Pitocin will have to force on me, and that's a good thing.
...and why this is not-so-good:
- I want him HERE! I am so tired of being pregnant and uncomfortable.
- I'm sick of bedrest.
- I'm sick of checking my blood sugar 4x/day.
- I want to get my gallbladder taken out ASAP.
- I want to see my little boy. I want to see what color hair he has, who he looks like, etc...I'm just SO ready for my life as a mom to begin.
Anyway, that's the update. Stay tuned for more exciting news (yeah right)...

Congratulations on your soon-to-be-here baby! Saw on your blog that you had to take Clomid. Had a couple of friends who had to take that and it made them go CRAZY!! But, its only temporary! Anyway, hang in there, you're almost home!

And one more for the pro list... the longer he cooks, the easier he'll be to take care of when he's born. It really does make a difference because it gives their intestines more time to mature (less chance of colic) and the more weight they put on, the better they sleep (ostensibly). You're almost there!
