The Waiting Game

Well, still no Boston. I am 37 weeks which is technically full term, but still no progress except he has dropped since last week. Dr. said his head is "right there" and really low so I am just waiting. She won't do an ultrasound to check size, I am only measuring a week behind now, but I swear this baby is at least 7lbs if not more! I am completely burned out at work and everything else. I am so tired of people asking "so when is your last day?" Well whenever he decides to come out! At this time, I do not have the convenience of a schedule or planned delivery and doubt if I will. I guess people just assume that everything is scheduled now. I would love to have a couple of days off before he gets here and make sure the house is clean and in order, and get the dogs to moms, but that isn't going to happen. I still have to get the car cleaned out and the seat installed, get a diaper genie and a monitor but I think those are the only major things we still need to do.
It is still hard to believe we will have a baby within the next 2-3 weeks! So many things have changed and will continue to change. Some good, some bad. I have been surprised at how the pregnancy has already changed some of my relationships. I expected a change when he got here, but not during the pregnancy. Kyle and I have definitely become closer and i'm sure we'll continue to. He has been so great with everything, I know he is so ready for Boston to be here!
I can say it has been a good 2-3 months since I have seen some of my girls, gone to dinner, or let alone talk to some of them! I know everyone is busy and I am really not trying to be selfish, but I could use some girl time every now and then. I really appreciate all of you who do continue to check up on me, it really means a lot! On the other hand, I have become closer to others and have been in contact with new friends that give me lots of encouragement which is greatly appreciated!
I guess that is just part of life....

Court, I can relate to you in soooo many ways! I'm praying for you and hoping that Boston will arrive soon soon soon! I know the misery you are feeling right now and the anxiety about things not being done. but relax (as hard as it really is to do). things will get done in due time and if it doesn't happen before Boston arrives, don't stress. get as much rest before he gets here!
Life really does change during your pregnancy and after the arrival of your baby. You really do realize who your real friends are and who will always be there for you. What really hurt my feelings as selfish as it may seem, but some of my CLOSEST BESTEST friends hardly called me AT ALL during my pregnancy just to see how I was doing and still don't even call or talk as much as I thought we would. It hurts but that's life, right? sometimes you just grow apart from those who used to always be with you. I know we don't really know each other all that well but if you ever need anything or just want to talk or have dinner (maybe a drink after boston arrives) please don't hesitate to give me a shout! :)

I KNOW you are soooo ready for him to get here - the waiting is sooo Hard!! I am so excited for you, it's an amazing experience. You will now be known as "Boston's mom" for a LONG time!!! But that's OK and now when you get together with the girls you will talk about the kids all the time! It's so funny how you may want to get away or have "adult conversation," but that "adult conversation" always ends up about the kids :) I love you Bunches and can't wait to meet Mister Boston!

COURTNEY!!! I love you!!! This hard part will be over soon...well the waiting anyways :-) Hang in there. It won't be much longer!

I agree with everyone else that this is the hardest part...well, this and then 1st six weeks after he gets here. Really, after Lexi's first 6 weeks it has been downhill since! It is amazing how much relationships change but it makes you look at the ones that survive the "flames" and realize those are who are really important anyway. I love you and can't wait to meet Boston! I bet I will be bringing you dinner before you know it! (That is one of the best parts of having a baby!! Dinner on someone else! haha!)
As you can see...it is just 7 AM I am suffering from some pregnancy insomnia myself! :)
