I went to the doctor this week and we had a little discussion about inducing me a week early. Since Conner was born on 7/7/07, I thought it would be cool if this baby was born on 9/9/09. My doctor agrees it would be cool! But he has a few concerns we will have to discuss this week. You see, the hospital only allows elective inductions at 39 weeks. I will be exactly 39 weeks on 9/9. So if they won't check me in until that morning, it's possible the baby may not arrive until 9/10. Plus, if my cervix is not ready for induction, then it could really take a long time. So he is going to do a little lookie-loo at my next appt this week and see how I'm progressing. If my cervix looks ripe (eew), then he is optimistic about inducing me.
SO, that got me pretty excited! I may have just a week and a half left!!! But then I totally panicked! OMG, I might have two kids in a week and a half! As if one isn't hard enough! I am totally freaking out. How on Earth am I going to manage to nurse and care for a newborn AND give Conner the attention he needs as well?! He is already full-time on his own. This mom business is not for chumps, man.
But, I am happy to report that I'm almost completely caught up on my list of things I wanted to do before baby comes. My freezer meals are stacking up and I have done a good, thorough cleaning of the house. I even dusted all my blinds! This week I will go get my car washed and put both carseats in their new locations (don't ask why the car has to be washed first, it just does). I will also set up the playpen in our bedroom and pull out the baby swing and bouncer.
Aside from those little things, though, I think I will focus on spending some good quality time with Conner. I'm sure there will be times when I will look back and miss the one-on-one time we've had together. Sniff!
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. -Antonio Smith
I love my life!!!
We live on an acre on the edge of a large city in the Southwest. My husband is a computer nerd and I stay home with our two boys. We were both raised in the big city and never learned any real-life skills until we stumbled upon this little plot of land five years ago. Ever since then, we have been on an accidental journey of learning to enjoy the simple things in life. We are weird!

Woah! It really is coming up fast! I hope you get your cool date that you're hoping for. I'm just freaking out about having one baby around, so I can only imagine how you must be feeling. Just keep in mind that you're a great mommy and that you'll adjust to two just like you did to one when Conner arrived. Can't wait!! Boy or girl?? We'll find out soon!! Yeah!
WOw, so exciting. I bet if he did induce 9/9 in the morning you would totally have him that day. But I guess you never know. You could have him on 9/10 and it can share Jared's b-day! :) Man, we need to know what this baby is so I an stop calling the baby "it"! 2 kids will be fun. I'm sure Conner will adjust fine. If Livvy can do it, anyone can do it. :)
Oh my gosh!!!!!! Well, best of luck! And yes, I totally think that would be cool if baby #2 was born on 9/9! Way fun! You sound very prepared, so just relax and enjoy the days with one baby.... because they're about to end! LOL I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear if you have a boy/girl!
You have got to let me know when your little girl comes....I voted girl on your blog, so it better be a girl. Haha. Conner has gotten so BIG!! I want to come over and visit when you have the baby. Good luck!!!
HOW exciting! I will think of you the whole day on 9/9! good luck!
