I got back from my weekly OB appointment about an hour ago. I am stuck at 2 cm. :( I was really hoping for another cm or something. We found out that our induction date has been scheduled for sure for March 30th at 5 a.m. Wow! Less than two weeks now and we will have a baby on our hands. I am getting really nervous. Nervous about labor, nervous about being induced, nervous about Maddy being okay when she is born. For a while I was really wanting to be done with being pregnant just because it felt like all this craziness of doctor's appointments and worry and stress would be over if she'd just get here. But that is not true. I guess the good thing is that we will know more about what we're dealing with once she arrives. Now I am just ready to not be pregnant anymore because it is so uncomfortable. I can't put my shoes on without almost falling over. I can't move anywhere close to furniture without bumping my stomach against everything. Yesterday, I was at the library finishing up my C.S. Lewis paper. I had to get up and go to the bathroom. As I was walking to the restroom a college kid that was sitting on some couches looked up and saw me and said in a really concerned voice, "Are you doing okay?" LOL!!!!!! Embarrassing and hilarious at the same time. I told him I was fine and then tried not to look at him when I came out of the bathroom. I must have looked like I was really desperate to get to the bathroom or something.
The baby room is set up with pretty much everything we have. Hopefully we'll be getting a few items from baby showers still to come or else we will be spending a lot of time searching Craig's list. However, we do have everything we need for when she first comes home (I think). My mom is making curtains for the baby room. She actually found some material that has raccoons on it and is really cute and also has a green background. Amazing. I can't wait to see them and get them put up.
Tomorrow is my birthday. Aaron already got me my birthday present--the stainless steel cookware pictured above. I just happened to see an ad for it. We got it at Penney's and it ended up being 80% off of the original price. It was originally a $200 set and was on sale for $70. Plus it had a $30 mail in rebate so in the end we will get it for $40!!! I have really been needing some new cookware. I have used mine so much and it was the cheap cookware from Target and Wal-Mart so after almost 6 years of use it was basically falling apart. I actually threw a frying pan and a sauce pan away. They were so awful they weren't even worth donating to Goodwill or any place like that. Anyway, It is great! I love it. It is so nice I am almost afraid to use it, but I'm sure cooking a few meals with it will get that out of my system. Tomorrow we'll probably go to Chili's to celebrate. We were hoping there would be some basketball games to watch while we were there, but they don't start until Thursday. :( Maybe we'll come home and watch the next episode of 24, season 2. We started getting it from Netflix several weeks ago. It is probably good that we are getting it in installments instead of having it available to watch all of them. Last time we watched 24, we watched season 1 and borrrowed it from the Halls. It was while Aaron was in grad school and his dissertation was due. We ended up staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning finishing up the season.
