Waiting and Spontaneity... Not my thing.

Here is the Cullen update!

I couldn't be more ready to not be pregnant anymore. Is it time yet? :)

Today was a very successful doctor's appointment. I went in hoping to plan a date to induce, because that's what we did with Layla, and I got better news than that. My doctor told me since this is my second baby, she thought that my body would do the work on its own before any induction we would schedule. YES! I am 2cm dilated, and 75% effaced, so Cullen is up to something! She helped to speed up the process by "stripping the membranes," hoping to help my body kick into labor soon. As of right now, at 12:30 in the morning (why am I still awake?), I haven't felt any contractions, but am hoping that tomorrow is a different story!

As ready as I am, and we all are, for Cullen to be here, I do have to admit that I would love just a little more time to get my last ducks in a row. Everything is ready from washed clothes to clean bottles. I just need to run a few errands tomorrow, pack a bag for the hospital for me and Cullen, and then one for Layla so she's taken care of while Bobby and I are getting Cullen out! Then he can make his debut!

Certainly, I'm ecstatic at the thought of Cullen being here so soon, but the uncertainty of when just kills me. I know, I know, it's part of pregnancy, but it's hard for me to not have any clue when he'll be here, and oh the waiting!! It's grueling at times. Having a baby is a huge life change, so naturally, I'd love to know exactly when that change is going to happen, since I like things order, haha. The spontaneity of Cullen coming whenever he wants is sure teaching me a lesson in patience, and teaching me that there are just some things I can't plan.

This is such an exciting time in our family's life and I am so happy to be able to share this whole experience with you all. Bobby and I are looking forward to introducing our baby boy to everyone when he arrives! Hopefully soon!
