Nesting and an Induction Date

I’ve been feeling like a Momma Bear in hibernation to prepare a suitable nest for our 5th little chick…which has required some creative play around here…

Note to self: Grab some bandannas, suspenders and masculine hats next time I’m at Goodwill. Boys like to dress up too!

So, as I rapidly approach 41 weeks, I am experiencing a mixture of frustration over why my body doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, what’s “natural” and before the whole medical community gets nervous that the risks are too great, with a feeling of relief, that something more familiar, predictable and “controlled” is in place. At the end of the day, I have to surrender and trust that God is with me and in charge! So, while my bag is packed and I feel as ready as I can be, there is also a part of me that is looking forward to a few hours to have to myself, to be able to do one last clean sweep of the house, leaving it in perfect order, kick my feet up and relish in those last few painless stretches of her arms and legs and enjoy a nice, quiet meal with the hubbs before peacefully heading to the hospital (inductions definitely have their perks) to get my “jump” 😉

Either way, please keep baby girl and me in your prayers!!!! Although I’ve gone through this 4 times, every time is a little different and every bit as nerve-wracking!

And I can’t wait to meet you (Wednesday June 25th at the very latest) Yvette Bella Soto!!!
