Unlike hide-and-go-seek, I know exactly “wherever” Jackaruby is, unfortunately – IN MY BELLY! I’ve done everything I can think of to bring on labor, short of drawing a map and directions for the baby to take to get out and swallowing them. I keep telling her\/him, “You’re two days late now, baby, it’s time to be born!” I’m not sure they are listening, though! I still have contractions that come and go, but nothing regular or strong, just enough to keep me uncomfortable and up all night!<\/p>\n
What a rollercoaster the end of this pregnancy has been. From a preterm labor scare and bedrest and being sure that the baby was going to come early, to now being 41 weeks and facing an induction date. That’s right, there is an end to my discomfort in sight! If Jackaruby doesn’t decide to come before – and, oh, how I hope he\/she does! – labor will be induced this Friday, 3-23-07, at 7:00AM. The doctor said most women have their babies by 3:00PM after they are induced at that time, but I’m not sure I believe her predictions anymore and at this rate am expecting a long, painful labor and just hope to have the baby by Saturday night! Haha.<\/p>\n
Chad has to be back at work on April 16th to start a project, so he started his four weeks of “paternity” leave today. Lucky him, he can stay home and wait on this baby with me and accompany me to all the tests and doctor’s visits I have this week. That will keep us busy! That, and enjoying these last few days of freedom and time together just the two of us before our lives change forever (though if we didn’t have them that would be fine, too – we’d rather have the baby at this point)!<\/p>\n
Can’t wait to share the good news. If we don’t have an update before, we’ll post all the info and pics of the newest Klein this weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
