1 more

I have 1 more day till my due date and 1 more week till my scheduled induction date. I am really hoping that I don't make it to next week. It isn't that I want to rush her it is just that I don't want to be induced. I was hoping my walk with Kortney and my walk with Tony last night would work but no such luck. Nothing at all. I am still having Braxton hicks basically on top of each other but no real contractions. I am hoping that at my appointment on Friday there will be a difference in dilation at least to show that my body is doing something. My doctor normally would see me next Tuesday cause I am going every week but she is getting me in on Friday to check me and then Tuesday again if nothing to plan for the induction. I think I am more nervous for that then for labour itself.

We are all ready for her to be here though. The car seat is in the car. The bag is all packed and ready to go. The room is all done now and just waiting to put a baby in it. I am sure I have forgot to pack something for the hospital but I don't plan on being there long enough to matter and the store is really close that Tony could go and get something if needed.

We had a nice long weekend that we didn't really do much. We had stuff planned for everyday but nothing big. We had dinner at Tony's parents and it was nice to just relax and have a good dinner. Monday I got to go to the shooting range for probably the last time for a while. It was nice cause no one was there so I could stay and watch Tony and stuff. If other people are there they usually shoot big stuff and I go and walk out back or sit in the car cause I am not risking her hearing now. I got to shoot my handgun quite a bit and didn't notice how much ammo I was using till Tony started to laugh. I can't load my own right now cause the bullets are lead tipped and he doesn't want me handling them so he kept loading the magazine and I kept shooting away. I was doing really good though and the target was basically all my shots. I was very proud of it. I know I won't be going as much after she is born so I guess I had to get it out of my system. It is now and I am okay with not going for quite a while. The guys can all go and let me have my own time with my daughter.

Hopefully my next post will be to tell my birth story but who knows. I think it is funny that I keep wanting the contractions to hurt cause I know once they do I won't want them to anymore.

C'mon Baby Miller!!! I was induced with Kaleb (I was early, but my labour kept stalling) and it wasn't bad for me at all. I also know a lot of others with positive induction stories. Hopefully you'll go on your own and you won't even need to think about an induction :)
