Incompetent

I got my stitch removed last week, and it hurt like hell! It was imbedded into my cervix, and it was more painful getting it out than putting it in. The good news is that it worked, and my baby Jack had a chance to thrive. He measured at around 6 lbs 2 oz that day when they did a growth check on him. I am now 37 weeks and 2 days, and they are putting in paperwork to induce me at 39 weeks. If I do not go into labor before, I will be admitted into the hospital on January 2nd, and induced the morning of the 3rd. I was really hoping to have him in 2019, but only for monetary reasons. I am just happy we got this far! I started my maternity leave this week on Wednesday, and have been getting things done here and there,  mostly just chilling out, napping, and eating. Enjoying the last few weeks with Jim before Jack arrives. Christmas is in 4 days, and we are going to head to my Ma's house for some food. Nothing too exciting this year, but I am grateful. We are not really doing any gift...

Tomorrow I am officially 36 weeks pregnant!! Woo-hoo! Also, this week on Thursday I will have my stitch removed at the office of Dr. Prieto, who put that sucker in. Super excited, nervous and overall curious how it is all going to go. Jim will go with me just in case they end up sending me to the hospital. There is an 11% chance once they take the stitch out that I go into spontaneous labor within 24 hours. I am betting that within a week I will be at the hospital in labor, but you never know! My doctor said that at 39 weeks they would induce me. So at this point, it is just a few weeks away from meeting Jack. His furniture for his room is all put together. His room is mostly ready besides organizing. I think we have most everything we need for him. I officially have a week left of work before I start maternity leave, and I have been getting everything prepped for my team to cover me while I am out. It is so exciting, and strange to know that in just a few weeks I will have a ...
