CatZilla vs Life: The Waiting Game

Well here we are, 39 weeks pregnant and feeling it. My blood pressure has stabilized, (still high but not getting any higher) and all the other tests look great. For a few days last week my doc was talking about inducing me this past Monday or Thursday, but now that everything looks good again, Baby Dinosaur is officially scheduled to launch his world tour on Monday, March 5th 2012. Can't wait!

Poor Big Dinosaur, with all the back and forth with induction scheduling, he is just ready to have him here already. He says, "It's like watching previews for a really great movie for 9 months then never getting to see it." Oh darling, you will be front and center for the premier in no time at all.

I personally have mixed feelings about being induced. On one hand, I want Baby Dinosaur to stay in as long as he wants to and come out when he's good and ready. On the other hand it's sort of nice to be able to make plans around his Birthday. Yet on the other hand (I have 4 you know, I can say that), knowing when I'm going to have a baby is scary as shit. It's like someone saying, "Hey, come to the hospital on Monday and we're going to break both your legs then give you a magical gift!" and I just have to be like, "Ok, great!" (Side note- When I told my Step-Mom how I felt she said, "Psh, you'll WISH they were just going to break both your legs!" Thanks Mo! ;)

I wish I would have found THIS sooner....

Either way, we are ready for Baby. Room is set up, car seat is installed, bottles are washed and diapers are stacked. Big Dinosaur and I have been running around getting things all prefect. I got my car detailed and he shaved his beard; we washed Bianca and brushed her teeth; I've made the entire house smell like sunshine and glitter. We are putting on a big front so the baby thinks we are capable adults. At least...for awhile...

So as promised, here are some pics of the finished nursery. Let me know what you think!

Notice the dangling yarn balls above the changing table? This is my idea to distract Baby Dinosaur so he won't shit on me. I'll let you know how it works. Also, the deck chair will be replaced with an actual rocking chair at some point...
