I had forgotten how much I LUUUVE cuddling a baby. Is it not the best thing ever? The quiet moments…the smiles….the cooing…..that heavenly baby smell…..AAAAHHH. I am just soaking up every delicious moment. They more than make up for all the other, um, not-so-blissful aspects of having a newborn around.

Phew. We’ve hit the six week mark. I feel like I should win some sort of prize or something.
Life hasn’t been too rough, actually. Certainly there are times that I want to crawl in the closet, pound a few glasses of wine and pass out from sheer exhaustion, all at the same time…

I have about three blog posts started, but I’ve been interrupted countless times while working on them. So they’re still in draft form. Honestly, it’s amazing I’ve been able to upload pictures, considering that takes three times as long as writing something…

I figured it would come down to this – looks like I’ll be having another induction. When the doctor induced my labor with Kellan, it took 22 hours from the start of the Pitocin drip to the time I finally gave birth…

I’ve spent the last several days hoping for some progress on the baby front. I got checked on Wednesday, and started to show signs of early labor within a couple hours! Yay! Right?
Wrong.

It’s no small undertaking to move while pregnant. You know how normally your nesting instinct goes into overdrive? You start to clean out the linen closet and reorganize the pantry, in addition to washing loads of little baby clothes? While my instincts were telling me to do all that, I did the opposite.

Prior to this week’s OB appointment, I’d had a few painful contractions. I’ve been feeling more pressure. In short, I’ve been feeling that there’s just GOT to be some progress on the baby front.
After this week’s appointment? I am convinced that my body and I are horribly out of sync with each other. Because while I was thinking progress, my body was apparently thinking status quo.

Everyone tells me my life is about to change dramatically. That two children don’t just double your workload – they triple or quadruple it. I wonder if I’m prepared.
