It's November Already?

Well if we're honest it's been November for almost half the month but for some reason it came a lot quicker than I was expecting. Per my What to Expect app on my phone I have 1 week and 4 days till my due date. I am at the point where I go to the doctors every week. Things have been normal and the visits are quick. While there are quite a few people who think that she is going to come early I have a feeling that she is going to be a little late. Personally I am totally ok with this as it gives me a little additional time to get ready. If she were to come today we would technically be ready but a little extra time for her I think will do us both some good.

We went to a new parent orientation at the pediatrician's office that we are going to use. They came on a recommendation of a friend as well as the list that the OBs office gives out. I was pleased by the session and the nurse practitioner who ran it gave a lot of good advice and I think it helped that she had a 4 month old herself. The office has 10 doctors so you're not necessarily seeing the same doctor all the time but that doesn't bother me. They also have two lactation consultants on staff and your first visit at the office is spent mostly with the lactation consultant and then a bit of time with the doctor.

So now we're just at the point that we wait till she gets here. We're very excited about her arrival whenever it may be. I do know that depending on how things look this week at the doctors we'll talk about possible induction dates if I don't go into labor over the thanksgiving weekend. It should be an interesting appointment on Thursday to say the least and probably fairly informational as well.

Next weekend we'll also have some visitors as well which will be nice. Zack has a tournament in Annapolis on Sunday and so he and my dad are flying in on Saturday morning. Jym and I will go pick them up at the airport and then hang out for the day. Then Sunday morning Jym will go to work and then I'll go out to Annapolis with my dad and Zack and watch the lacrosse games and then depending on when their flight is bring them to the airport and then head home myself. Then it will be a shortened work week and Thanksgiving.

I keep thinking that it seems like just yesterday that I found out we were expecting and somehow 9 months has gone by very quickly. Not a bad thing just the whole year seems to have flown by. Maybe because there is so much excitement or maybe its something that happens as you get older but either way the year has flown by.

I do have to say that I am excited to meet my little girl sometime in the next few weeks. A little scared a little nervous but excited all the same. Hopefully I'll have a few more posts between now and then but we'll see what happens.
