Last day at work

Well today is my LAST work day until after my maternity leave. I am thoroughly looking forward to the break from it! Next week will probably be long and boring sitting at home waiting.. (IF Ava doesn't hurry up and decide to make her entrance) However, once she finally comes I know I won't have time to be bored, and I won't miss work at all. In fact, she isn't even here yet and I already know it is going to be devastating for me to have to leave her and come back to work in February.

Back to the pregnancy... went to the doctor this past Wednesday. I go back again this coming Monday. He said they will schedule me to be induced any day after Monday IF I want to. However, Todd and I discussed it and due to various facts about induction we decided against inducing early. HOWEVER, Monday we are going to talk with the doctor and probably go ahead and schedule a date for just after my due date just in case she decides to not come on time!

Work Baby Shower

The girls at work had a baby shower for myself and Teresa (the other Pregnant lady in the pics!) last Wednesday 11/21. We had a great time... lots of games, good food, and they really showered us with gifts!! I think we have all of the "necessities" now!

Now we're just waiting for little Ava's arrival!! The waiting is the hardest part of it all! I am going crazy! As of my appointment last Wednesday I had dialated 1 cm, and my cervix was about halfway effaced. I go back for another checkup tomorrow afternoon and am hoping to find out we are very close!!!!
I've had what they call "nesting syndrome" the past week... I put up and decorated our christmas tree Friday. Saturday I cleaned and wrapped Christmas presents and cooked... I'm so anxious I just can't keep still even though I am deathly tired!
