Tick Tock, Tick Tock!

Well today is officially my due date, which anyone that has a baby knows means absolutely nothing other than the day you start to get really impatient with being pregnant :)  I had my weekly check up at the OB today and the baby is still doing great!  Since I have not had any real consistent contractions or prelabor signs yet, they did not check me.  So for all I know I could be hours away or many, many days.  What I did learn is that as of today the baby is weighing in around 8.5 pounds.  OUCH!!  Of course the baby that was cut out of me what a tiny little peanut and the one I have to push out is a giant watermelon.  So is the luck that I have in life :)  The good thing is that he will be nice and strong for surgery and have a little extra reserve to get him through all that he will undergo.  So the waiting continues.  I am feeling very mixed emotions with each passing day.  I am definitely ready to not be pregnant and to finally meet my little boy, but also very anxious about all that is waiting for him and the emotional toll of watching him go through surgery and recovery. But thankfully, at the end of the day the eagerness to meet my handsome man wins out :)
