I'm Ready!

I never thought I would make it this far in this pregnancy. My first one was born 10 days early so I truly anticipated the same for this one. I even went as far as to buy him a "baby's first Christmas outfit" just in case (which I still need to return to the store). But, this little one has decided he likes the coziness and warmth of my belly. I have cleaned and reorganized everything in this house (sometimes even twice) in the hopes that all the movement will bring on labor. There's nothing left for me to clean out excpet Pat's stuff and I don't think he'd like that too much. Maybe this is a good sign that Gavin will have a calm and laidback personality (very different from big brother Wyatt). I only have 1 1/2 days left until my due date and am really hoping that my sweet baby boy decides to arrive during one of these days (the tax break would be nice).

Come Monday if he's not here I will set up an induction date with the doctor. I'm actually very nervous about this and would like to have this baby naturally. I've even read up on how to induce labor naturally and nothing I've tried has worked. I know that I need to enjoy this time of having him all to myself and getting more than 2 hours of sleep at a time (right now I sleep about 4 hours before waking up) but I've never been a patient person. Maybe God is trying to use this as a time to teach me a lesson and to let go of my plans. Of course if you have any tried and true labor inducing ideas, please feel free to share. I'm willing to try almost anything (except for maybe the castor oil route).
