I haven't posted in a really long time. Mainly because I haven't had the energy and also because we sold my laptop before Christmas. I am using Franz's school laptop while he gets to use the ipad. I like the ipad but I like to type on a keyboard better. Well, I have one day until Austin's due date. I am really surprised that he hasn't decided to come earlier. I was really hoping he would come during my Christmas break but he wasn't ready. Now here we are two weeks later and he is still in the oven cooking. I had to start back to work last Monday and I must say it was very hard for me. My class is very challenging this year to say it nicely and I am really lacking in patience these days. I had to go back due to not having enough days built up for my maternity leave. I am short 2 weeks without pay. I am hoping for some snow days during that time but its not looking good. Anyway, so week 2 at school has begun and it didn't start good. I won't go into details but let's just say that I need some prayers to get through the week.
I am so ready for my sweet boy to come and meet his mommy and daddy. It is so hard to focus on the excitement of having him because of the stress at work but I am truly so excited and ready for him to come. I can't wait to hold him in my arms and love on him. I know it will be any moment on any day now and I am so anxious. I have been very tired and swollen which is the norm at this point in a pregnancy. I went to the doctor last Friday and met Dr. Boyapati for the first time. He said I was only dilated about 1 cm and that there was a good chance Austin could be late. I asked him to tell me what I needed to do to speed this process up and he said nothing... just wait until he is ready. I didn't like that answer. ha ha. I do like Dr. Boyapati though. He is the first doctor to come in and sit down and just talk to us. He took his time and was so gentle with me. I would really like him to deliver but at the same time I don't care who does it as long as he comes soon. I have another apt with him on Thursday. Really hoping I don't make it to that one due to Austin's arrival. Oh and I found out that due to being group B positive I will be for sure staying in the hospital for 2 days. I don't really want to do that but its what we have to do to make sure Austin is okay.
So, I just want to take this time to tell all my friends and family thank you for everything. We have had 5 showers total and have gotten more than we could have imagined. My best friends, my work, Franz's work, my family and Franz's family all gave us a shower. We are so very blessed and appreciate everything and everyone. I think we are set and just ready for our baby. :) I haven't had a lot of time or energy since the last shower on Dec. 27th so I need to get those thank you cards out. I planned on doing them tonight but after the day I had today I am going to need to put them off one more night. I know it's not hard work but I need to rest my mind after being stressed out all day.
Well, I am going to get off here. I am sure the next time I blog Mr. Austin will be here and I will get to post pictures and tell you all how much I am in love with him. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Hope you have a good week. :)
