Count Down

So I know I initially said I wouldn't use this to only talk about babies and motherhood, and I still intend to keep that promise. But it is a big part of my life right now, so I will be talking about it, just not all the time =)

First... its 5:00 in the morning and I'm once again up and can't sleep. I hear my sleep will be even less in a short time, but its just so hard at this point to go back to sleep once I'm awake. The last couple of days have been so weird. Technically, we are almost at 38 weeks, so normally I guess folks wouldn't be worried for another couple of weeks. But of course Sydney sets herself apart and confuses me. At the last dr.'s appointment they were saying that she's measuring big and the date that comes out of the machine is 38 weeks. That was 2 weeks ago. That of course would put me at 40 weeks this week. So we're thinking any day. We're hoping any day. They have scheduled me for the 23rd. I had my "bummed" day about it when I heard. But really, it was only selfish reasons why I was bummed that they picked that day. We'd be in the hospital over Christmas, which is a bummer. Sydney's birthday would be 2 days before Christmas, bummer. She would be a Capricorn and not a Sagitarius, bummer(sorry Capricorn friends). And some of my close friends will be out of town, bummer. But really I'm just being selfish. I'm looking at all the bad things. The things that I should be concentrating on are that her lungs will be fully developed. She's going to be a healthy baby girl. And God bless those people and especially friends that are trying to get pregnant and aren't having any luck. I would think they would love to be in my position right now. I'm very thankful for my life and I'm just thankful that she's coming out soon.
With that being said... Don't think I'm not doing all I can to have this girl naturally in the next couple of days. =) I've been dancing, walking, eating spicy foods and all the things they say brings on labor. Of course, when you look them up, they are all wise-tails, but heck, we're doing them.
It must be just that I'm so big at this point, but I think its funny that everyone seems to think that the only thing I like to talk about is pregnancy and being pregnant and having babies. It must be because I'm so close, but I think its funny. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Alright, I think I'm going to try and shut my eyes for another couple of hours.
Tomorrow is my first day of not working. I'm sure it will be a trip. Its such a weird thing to comprehend. Well I'll let you know when Syd makes her appearance.
Ciao for now!
