You know when you are SURE something will happen at a certain time, and it doesn't? Yeah....I've been feeling that for the last week. Seriously! I know this baby isn't due for another 2 weeks, but my patience has gone. It is nowhere to be found. I was fine up until a couple of weeks ago, when I was told I was already dilated to a 3. Now I keep thinking "any day now" which is true- but that day hasn't come yet! I went to the doctor today- and I'm at a 3.5- which is the same as last week. Maybe he will come tonight? Tomorrow? This week sometime? This weekend? Next week?! That's as far as I'll let it get- I'm too impatient to wait until my actual due date. I will be induced next week if Caleb hasn't arrived before then.
I am to the point that the impatience isn't just because I want to meet my little boy (though- that IS the majority of it!) But, I'm SO tired on a daily basis I can barely function. I'm up at least 3 times a night to pee. And, lately my body aches so bad that I have a hard time sleeping. Last night I was up at 3am with my low back and legs aching. I had to take Tylenol & go sit on the couch in order to fall back asleep. I also can't breathe most of the time if I'm laying down. So, between all of that going on- and it being insanely busy at work for the last couple of weeks- I'm done. I'm at my limit. I just want to see the face of my precious baby boy- and spend the next 6 weeks with him and the rest of my cute little family!
So- yes. I am impatient. But, don't worry- I do know that no matter what I have to go through to get Caleb here- he is worth it. Every sleepless night, before & after he is born. Every ache & pain that I am dealing with. Every ounce of pain that may come way way during labor/delivery. He is worth it. I can't wait to hold him, kiss him, snuggle him, and welcome him to our family.
Caleb- please join us soon! We love you already.

Awwww, It was not too long ago that this was me. Those last few weeks are rough! You only get up to pee three times a night?! lol. I was up like ten times a night at the end there, not even kidding. And I couldn't sleep either, which was frustrating because you know once he gets here...you won't exactly be catching up on sleep either. Anyway, it really is going to be soon, though I totally get that soon is not soon enough! Good luck, sweetie. Let us know the minute he arrives! Come on Caleb!
