It's our final weekend as a couple before we become a family. Then again I've been saying that every weekend for the past two, but I think our chance of having Nugget this week is higher than the last two weeks. But you never know...
I am quite bummed about being induced starting Monday evening. I know it's not the end of the world...
... speaking of... "judgement day" came and went and Jason and I are still alive. Yippee!
... back to induction. I have gone to extremes to have a baby. I've played by the rules; I've had eggs for every morning for the past 8 weeks, I have cut pretzels out of my life, I have walked the circle in our neighborhood every night at least 4 times. I have paid close to 2 grand for acupuncture of the last 9 months to keep myself healthy emotionally and physically. I realize life isn't fair, but I thought just maybe I would go into labor on my own and have that "honey, it's time" moment. It's kind of like every girl dreams of an amazing engagement story... do I need to remind you of mine?
So here I am less than 48 hours from throwing in the towel and having drugs induce labor. Exactly what I didn't want. I have started to read up on the C-sections because I'm sure that will be the next thing for me.
I am going to try out a few more induction myths today and have a long talk with Nugget. Don't even say "well, have you tried _____?" Or "you know what starts labor?" with a wink in your eye. YES I KNOW. Have lots of SEX (are you all happy that I said it since you can't say it??!!), walk (if one more person signs an email with keep walking I might super glue my ass to the couch. Do you really think I'm not walking? I HAVE TO with my GD. I've been doing it for weeks!), drive on bumpy roads (there are 6 speed bumps on the way into our house), bouncing on my exercise ball, spicy foods, blah, blah.
Jason and I are going into school today to clean out my classroom, walk 500 miles, have sex, drink extreme hot sauce, ride wooden roller coasters, and then stare at my stomach waiting for contractions to start. I'll let you know if we are successful.
Even if I don't have that "honey, it's time" moment, at least we will have that special moment of "it's a _____!" I am SO GLAD we did not find out the gender and will have at least one surprise moment this week. Isn't everyone excited to know whether it's a Nugget or Nuggette?!

I wanted to kick those "have sex" and "keep walking" fools straight in the teeth! I feel your pain, sister. In the meantime, between now and your unnatural drug-induced labor, I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that your c-section reading is for naught.
Can't wait for the Nugget/Nuggette news! Lots of love to all the Hollencamps.
I am excited for the Nugget/Nuggette news.
