Week 40...Counting and counting..


I packed my hospital bag this week (finally...I think I should have done that a couple of weeks ago!). Now I'm really ready to go at a moment's notice! It feels weird to just kind of sit and wait for this really momentous thing to happen to me. I was laughing at Deepak last weeks when he was so nervous every time I left the house, but now even I'm starting to get a bit anxious. It hasn't stopped me from going anywhere, but the image of my water breaking in the middle of the supermarket does flash through my mind every time I walk out the door. I know I'm just jittery and overly nervous - first-time-mother stuff...

Our family and friends are so excited to meet the baby too; they have been checking in with us on an almost-daily basis, especially Deepak's mumma. She is more excited than anyone and keeps on asking me on hourly basis if I got my waters broken.. :)) I swear she does not trust I would know myself when I am in the "real" thing..-the labor and so she keeps on reminding (and checking up with) me..:))

I too 'm really impatient to meet my baby and not feel like a whale (or a big house) anymore, but I'm still a little scared of labor, so I'm definitely not resorting to any labor-inducing methods just yet. But give me another week or two and I may be hitting you ladies up for every idea..:)
Our baby looks lazy even to come down to the correct birth position yet and is not in the head down position still. He/She is almost in the breech position and so giving me threats of going through a C-Section. I never want to have that option and swear by having a natural delivery..God knows what would happen..my doc said he would induce me once I am passed 15th Nov...
