7 week countdown!

I was bummed last week when I went a couple days thinking I was already 33 weeks going on 34, and then went to my doc and was reminded that I was a week off in my counting. I was actually 32 weeks going on 33. At this point, every hour is an accomplishment so to be off by a whole week just threw me a bit. But we're getting down to the wire! As I sat there on the exam bed thingy and discussed with the doc my birth plan, possibility of an induction date, recovery, etc, I was reminded that this is all coming up so soon! Like, he said if I was dilated to a 3 by Sept 12th he would consider inducing me then if I wanted. Say whaaa??!? That's in 6 weeks, folks! I was so so happy after leaving that appt. Also, mostly because the doc kept complimenting my "athletic body." Hmm... I'm pretty sure it's not my athleticism but my height that helps me out in the whole weight distribution department, but I was very fond of him for having said so. It's my new line I can whip out when Jared asks me if I really want to eat 3 rolls - "yes, dear, I'm very athletic, remember?" :)

This time around I am not frightened of the whole birthing thing so much as missing Evy Rae for those 3 days in the hospital. My mom is planning on being here, so that puts me at ease, but obviously last time I did this I didn't have another little one to worry about.

But with that being said, I am so excited for baby boy to get here! My wonderful friends threw me a shower this past Saturday and getting all this boy stuff is just crazy. This is going to be a whole new world! How fun! Still stuck on a name, though. Well, kinda. We've got it narrowed to three.

{I haven't been very good with these pregnancy milestone things. Last one I did was at 20 weeks.}
