tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock....

.....goes the clock! The blog countdown tells me that the days are short, but my thermometer keeps rising and making them feel long. Tyler and I have been busy at our "to do" list today. You know, last minute things to do before the baby comes. Pre-op appointment, haircuts, mowing, edging, flowerbeds, clean the dogs, vacuum, dust, pledge, laundry, wash the sheets, attack a few cobwebs (I know, I actually have cobwebs AND I'm admitting to it!) making lists, starting to pack... all of these things just really make it feel real that the baby is coming soon! Girl or boy? Bigger or smaller than the boys were? As scheduled or early? My pre-op appointment went fine this morning. They've been doing NST's all week, which have all been fine. They did put me on some medication to help out with my blood pressure, which although it kind of has nasty side effects, at least it has mellowed out my pressures and I don't have to be quite so "relaxed" (not my strenth!) We can expect to be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days, depending on how things go. So now we wait! We're soaking up these last days with the boys, enjoying some one on one time with each of them, lots of snuggles, and Wayne's getting away with a small amount of murder. Oh well, right? Stay tuned folks, we'll soon know what #3 is!
