Tomorrow I will have exactly three weeks until my due date. And contrary to what I have been wanting for the last miserable three months, I am hoping I will make it until then. I had a doctor appointment yesterday and found out I'm dilated to a 3 and 75% effaced. When I found out, I didn't think much of it because my neighbor was at that same point for about two and half weeks before she had her baby. Then the stress began as I began to tell other people. Come to find out it can be typical after a first pregnancy to stay at a 3 for awhile. However, with a first pregnancy usually once you get there, you usually progress a little faster. So now I'm being told that it's very likely my baby will come within the week! Holy crap! I am so not ready for this.
We are still lacking some baby essentials, I still need to pack for the hospital, I still have cleaning and organizing at my house to do, and most importantly, I still have so much to do at work to prepare to take some maternity leave! Our new office manager is supposed to start on Monday, and I still need to train her, plus finish training another girl to cover for the billing while I'm gone. Not only am I wondering if I'll be able to get everything done before the baby, but I'm wondering if I'll even have the energy. I have suddenly been hit with total and complete exhaustion. I feel too tired to even think.
All my life, I have procrastinated. Big school papers - the night before, packing for my mission - the night before, packing to move - the day of, the list goes on. You would think I'd learn, but apparently this major character flaw of mine has proven to be a problem even with something as big and important as bringing a baby into the world.
