Status

Uterus status: occupied and quiet- except for the occasional random contraction, annoying and useless.
Medical status: if Critter doesn't appear by next Wed, we go to the hospital at 6:45am for the induction process to begin.
House status: waiting for feedback, hopefully an offer
Mood status: tired, low energy, getting anxious
Grandma status: calling quite frequently for updates
Grandpa status: proclaims Critter is a girl because of the "grand entrance" she is commanding
Kids status: bored more often than usual, especially since I'm not as energetic and active as a couple weeks ago
Fitness status: I walked for an hour and a half on Tuesday, almost an hour yesterday, not sure what I'll do today. Really disappointed lately that the pool closed for the summer because I had been planning to swim throughout this maternity leave time.
Weather status: storms should come through later today, I've heard that sometimes barometric pressure changes can trigger labor, I kind of hope so.
Weight status: I've lost 4 pounds over the past two weeks, because Critter's squishing my stomach which makes me feel full more easily, which is nice. Overall weight gain, 30 pounds, two more than I gained with Hot Wheels and Superman.
Overall status: Happy to be home, trying to be patient, knowing that things will happen as they should for whatever reason.

All systems ready to go! ;-) Looks like things are coming down to the wire for you. I'm sorry I haven't been around more frequently to keep tabs on how you're doing - but I'm also glad that Critter hasn't made an appearance yet that I may have missed. hehe ... how selfish of me!! I'm wishing you all the best and you, Critter and the entire family will be in my prayers!

Now I'm getting anxious. I had guessed on a Thursday arrival.

I'll keep checking daily for new baby's grand appearance.

sitting on the edge of this computer chair anxiously awaiting critter's arrival.

I agree with granpa......"grand entrance" = girl!
