Everytime I call my mom, the first thing she says is "are you in labor yet?!" I keep forgetting that everyone is just as eager as me for this little one's arrival. Yesterday I remembered something and said uh-oh out loud and Edward freaked out cause he thought my water broke.
No baby yet, obviously, but I've been feeling a bit odd since going to bed last night. I'm sure it's nothing because there aren't really any contractions, no broken water, just feeling a bit different. I think we'll stick close to home today just in case. I never made it this far with Ava. I'm in the 38th week now. Ava came on the first day of my 38th week.
The situation with my MIL has gotten better, but it's not really resolved. She has offered to stay in a hotel while my mom is here to give us some time together. She said she was just trying to help & didn't mean to cause a problem. Well then, think before you do things! Anyhow, she's going to go to AAA today to see if they might be able to change her flight, but it's highly doubtful. I'm glad she saved $20 by booking from Tues to Tues, but now we're going to end up paying $200 or more to put her in a hotel. She does seem to understand how I feel about spending time with my mom now that we've told her. I don't think it even crossed her mind before.
Don't get me wrong, we appreciate her help & certainly want her to spend time with her grandchildren (although she really doesn't show much interest in that whenever we visit them, but whatever). It's just that she didn't time it well & if she really wants to help by staying for a week, she wouldn't do it when I already have my mom here to help, you know.
Anyhow, Edward did actually end up stepping up on this one. All that has been done since last week is because he's been calling her to sort it all out. I'm very proud of him for taking my side for once! Because as one commenter put it, I've really sacrificed a lot for his family this year. I am pulling the selfish card on this one!
Hopefully all is straightened out on that end. Now we just need to pick a name for this baby & for her to actually come out! I'm ready.

So ready for her to arrive as well! AND I am checking religiously to see if she is here! Hang in there lady!!
I'm glad that you guys are all ready to go! Wishing you a speedy and relatively painless labor (yeah, right! haha!). But I hope that everything will go smoothly. Good luck! :)
P.S. My anti-spam Blogger word was "Susno." You could name her that! LOL! :)
Oh my gosh, I am getting so excited for you to have your baby (and it is making me excited for us too)!
Yay for Edward for stepping up to resolve the MIL situation. Things like that are always best handled by immediate family. I made Greg handle all the visiting arrangements with his mom. Works out so much better and hopefully nobody gets their feelings hurt once it's over and done with.
You've been more than patient and I am totally with you on pulling the selfish card on this one. ;) Hope she comes soon and good luck!
