tomorrow...

so tomorrow is the big day.

its kinda crazy to think that tomorrow im gonna meet my son for the first time. to be honest, its a little overwhelming. i think we're pretty much ready for him, but never having had a baby before, i really cant be sure. i hope we are.

i had to go to the hospital yesterday to do the gel thing... it wasnt exactly what i thought it would be. they set me up with the fetal monitor to make sure he was doing ok before they actually did anything, and then once he proved he was good to go they went ahead and did an internal to see if i had dilated at all. i had not. the nurse said that she heard that i was like fort knox down there. awesome. so she decided to help me out manually which was totally not comfortable at all, but she did force my cervix to start to dilate so i got to 1 cm. woohoo! but i was kinda in some pain for the rest of the evening.

so today me and stelly have just been trying to get things ready for the baby and nans (wils mom) who is coming on saturday! finishing up laundry, putting clothes away, and changing all the linens on the beds... its kinda good that i have things to do because i think i might go crazy just waiting around for tomorrow. and i have no idea if that gel crap has any kind of hormones or anything in it, but i have been more emotional today than i think i have been throughout my entire pregnancy. i cried like 4 times watching stupid 'so you think you can dance,' who cries at that?! maybe its just crazy emotions that im gonna have a baby tomorrow... kind of a big deal...

so i probably wont update again for a bit, but i will definitely give everyone all the gory details as soon as things calm down again. i know i wont be pregnant anymore but im sure crazy things will still be happening once the little man gets here, so keep checking back, im sure im gonna get pooed on, peed on, vomitted on... all good things! and thanks for hanging out with a pregnant lady for the last 9 1/2 months!

You may be scared you aren't ready but as soon as you see your son you will be. All joking aside it's an amazing experience. Tomorrow will be tough but by the time you get to go to bed it will be one of the best days of your life. Congrats ahead of time Kristen.
