If Not Before, It's Tuesday!

So, if she doesn't go into labour before Tuesday, they are going to induce her then.  At least we now have an expected date when we will finally get to meet this new little bundle of joy.  And Nana is on vacation for the week so I'm ready anytime!

My daughter read my last blog and said it made her "tear up" so I better not get too mushy or sentimental in this one.  She's got enough to think about to get her all sentimental and teary. 

It's absolutely amazing, the number of labour & delivery stories I have heard this week.  Every time somone asks if I'm a Grandma yet, they follow it with their own birthing experience.  I now know how almost every woman at work went through each of their labours!  Funny how some folks are so private, but when it comes to this, they can talk for hours!  I guess my daughter will be able to join that "Club" next week. 

I had a thought the other day about how I don't have anything at my house for the baby!  We are in the process of moving this month, so I just haven't thought of buying anything I'd just have to move, but I don't have anywhere for the little one to sleep even!  What kind of a Nana am I???  Not really fair to have to ask my daughter to lug around her stuff... baby and all her own paraphenalia is enough to trudge around!  So might be going on a little shopping trip this weekend.  Just a couple things... Nana's should always be prepared for anything, right?

Next post will probably not be until after the birth.

Until then...  Enjoy!

Just About There...

Still no grandbaby yet.  Two more days and we're past the due date.  I'm hoping if she goes past, its not too far past.  I know exactly how it feels to be ten months pregnant in the scorching heat of the summer!  Not much fun!

Everyday I have friends and co-workers asking, "Any baby yet?"  I remember the days when the question was, "Are you STILL pregnant?"  I was starting to get a little tired of the questioning, but I guess it's easier on Nana than on Mama.  I just have to stay close to the phone and ease her through labour.  I AM starting to get anxious about that too, though.  I'm not sure how I am going to feel seeing my "baby" in pain.  But I'm pretty good at staying strong when I need to be. 

Here's hoping I get to meet her soon!
