The official count down to "due date" has begun...28 days and counting. It looks like we may be induced early (my fingers are crossed actually). I have another appointment tomorrow but I think that they are waiting for my scheduled ultra sound on July 15th to see how big the baby is measuring before making a final decision. At least I know that they won't let me go past my due date as the baby has been measuring large in all the previous ultra sounds, so I am guessing that I will either be induced early or have a scheduled c-section on August 3rd. This does not upset me at all as I LOVE structure and a scheduled c-section would provide me a definate time and date. So I am actually quite happy about this. SO although the official count down is 28 days...Baby Brolund could be here in less then 2 weeks. AND I CANNOT WAIT. Duane has mentioned several times that he can't wait for "Devon" to get here and I think we are both excited to meet our son!
My last day at work was on friday. I know I will be back in a year but it was sad leaving anyway. I spend so much time with Melissa, Amber-Jane & Kevin everyday that they feel like family to me and I am going to miss seeing them everyday. Not to mention that I have never really had nothing too do, since I was 15 I have worked, gone to school or both and now I can't figure out what to do with myself. LOL I am sure that this will all change when "Devon" arrives and I have trouble finding time to shower and do laundry. My boss had a nice pizza lunch for me and everyone signed a card and they gave Duane & I a $400 gift card to Toys R Us. On Sunday Duane & I had fun (or at least I had fun) buying some of this things to finish off the nursery. We got a diaper genie, bedding, a new diaper bag, An Angel care baby monitor (I really wanted this) and a whole bunch of other things. We are pretty much all set now and ready for "Devon" to come whenever he is willing (or the Dr's say he is).
Today I went to the unemployment office to get my Maternity/Paternity Leave claim started, dropped some hand me downs I won't use off at Value Village, returned a movie and cleaned our apartment...I left the floors for tomorrow but after that I may have to find a hobby.
A few weekends ago my girlfriends Amanda and Chrissy threw me an amazing baby shower. I got so many gifts and feel so blessed that I have such amazing people in my life. The most exciting this is that both my girls are pregnant along with my other friend Kim! I am so happy for all 3 of them! And I am happy that are children will all be around the same ages and hope that they will grow up to be friends.
Also a HUGE congrats to my oldest and dearest girlfriend Lindsay and her guy Justin (and big sister Olyviah) on the birth of their newest Jace Doherty! What a Cutie. I am so thrilled that our sons are going to be so close in age and I hope and pray that they can develop a strong bond similar to the one that Lindsay and I have developed over the years. BUT maybe without all the trouble we got ourselves into.
Duane is working afternoons, and I miss him terribly at night. He is my best friend and life is really just more fun and enjoyable when he is with me. I feel so fortunate that I got to marry not only my best friend but the love of my life. And I know that I married a man who has integrity and who is going to be an exceptional father. I cannot wait to see him hold his son for the first time and see the love in his eyes. I love you Duane! Thank you for being a fantastic husband and best friend and thank you even more for the father I know you are going to be.
