Three More Weeks... Well, Maybe...

So last year when I hit 36 weeks I was just thinking that I had four more weeks to go until Cash was arriving and then I would be good. No one told me that my water would break (due to a storm) at 36 weeks and 2 days. I ended up having Cash on 36 weeks, 3 days gestation, which put him at four weeks early and preterm. We were so lucky to have him come out extremely healthy and were able to take him home after a long week in the hospital.

Well, today marks my 36 week mark. I'm curious as to see if my body does the same thing Cash did or if Colt will be the stubborn one and wait until November 5 when my c-section is scheduled. I could have him within the next couple of days, but then it could be an extremely LOOOONNNNNGGGGG three weeks! haha I never know what is going to happen and I hate not knowing the outcome of this new little man that is coming into our lives. I know he'll come out when he is ready to come out, but I'm sitting on pins and needles here! haha

Last night about 3 a.m. I woke up with major pain in my pelvis and knew I was having a big contraction. Luckily after a couple of trips to the bathroom (TMI sorry), I was able to start feeling better and finally got into a comfortable position to fall back to sleep.  When Jeff's alarm went off I about cried because I had just barely fallen back to sleep and I knew I had to get up so I could get his breakfast and lunch packed (yes I am that wife but I love him). Cash was still asleep (he slept all night! woo hoo) and I hurried up so I could go back to bed. I have been taking it super easy all day because you never know what's going to happen. I just hope that something does happen, but not until it's time. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday so we'll see what he says.

So now we really begin the countdown. Do I have him within the next couple of days or on November 5? Guess we'll just have to wait and find out! :)
