So...I had my 37 week appointment today! I am measuring 37 1/2-38 weeks right now. My doctor does not think I will make it to June 14th. He asked Olivia if she had a day she thinks the baby will arrive, of course she doesn't have any concept of time right now, so she just looked at him! I said last week I think she is going to come June 10th. I never said this to Matt and the other day he looked at me and said "There's no way you are going to make it to your due date, I think she's going to arrive June 10th" HA!
I told my doctor when we think she will be born and he said that could be a very accurate date! So, we will wait and see what the little girl decides to do. I did ask him how big he thinks she will be and he said probably 8 lbs! Its going to be so weird having a bigger baby since Olivia was only 6 lbs 7 oz! I have 4 outfits picked out and packed for her...it depends on how big she is and what she will fit in.
My doctor is going out of town this weekend, but he said my cervix is posterior and he does not think anything will happen this weekend. I hope not, because I don't want anyone else delivering my baby. I love my doctor, so if he is not around to deliver her I will be upset!!!
He asked if I am still working and I told him yes, and I planned on working until the 10th, but he did suggest I make my last day of work sooner than that. He recommended it so I don't have to stress about it and I can "relax". I don't have to work at all next week, so I may make this Thursday my last day...or see what he says next week when I see him and go from there. If I can work on June 8th I will, but I will see how I feel in another week.
As silly as it sounds reality really hasn't set in yet! I cannot believe I will have two children in just a couple weeks! My hospital bag is almost ready. I need to buy a couple of things. I am doing laundry every 2-3 days rather than my usual once a week. I am worried I won't have any clean clothes for the hospital!
I still need to install the carseat, but I am going to ask my dad to help me do that tomorrow. If anything, that is something that can be done while I'm at the hospital, but I will feel better knowing its taken care of beforehand.
WOW! I am very anxious to meet my baby! I see my doctor again next Tuesday!

Wow! Time is really flying! I am so excited for you!!
June 10th is a good day. :) I hope that these last couple of weeks are peaceful, stress free, and relaxing for you!! Enjoy yourself and enjoy Olivia and Matt.
I was sad when my ob didn't get to deliver the triplets, but I had to go to another city as they were so preemie.
wow you are sooo close! I remember being so scared when i had my second baby. I actually could not imagine loving another baby as much as did cameron and i was so worried about that but u have just as much love for your second as u do for your first even tho its hard to imagine it before they arrive. I was also worried that cam would feel left out or ignored when my second baby was born but i tell you your first child will love their new sibling and its the most beautiful thing in the world to watch them grow so close! I am excited for you! I have to say i think June 13 is a perfect day since its my birthday! Ha but i do want stella to wait for her grandma. Love crystal
I can't believe it is almost time. It seems like yesterday we were hiding it on Facebook..ha. I know it will all work out. I can't wait to see her! If you need anything, just yell. KY isn't far..I will be there.
