Miss Hadley

I had my last appointment for this pregnancy and as long as I don't go into labor over the weekend, we shall be meeting Miss Hadley on Tuesday morning! I'm excited and scared for how quickly this weekend will go by. We have absolutely no plans, except to swim and relax and hang out, which makes me nervous the weekend will either go by very slowly or very fast. And I'm not sure which I prefer.
At last week's appointment, I was 2 cm dilated and pretty thing and the doctor didn't think I would make it to the 5th. Today, however, there is no change and now the doctor (different doctor, as there are a few in the practice you see on a rotation basis) thinks she will definitely stay in til the 5th. Now, last week, I was excited to hear she might come early. I prayed every day she would come (I was all set at work, and just ready to start my maternity leave), but today is a different story. It's not even Fair St. Louis yet and the traffic crossing Poplar into the city was already a little crazy at 10:00 am, and I just do not want to deal with trying to get to the hospital during that hot mess of the July 4th crowd trying to see The Steve Miller Band or Maroon 5. So, now that I'm officially on maternity leave, we would like it very much if Hadley stayed put until the 5th.
I'm also looking forward to spending some quality time with Avery, though as we speak she is in the basement playing alone while I sit here and type, ha. We just went swimming and I plum wore myself out. My eyes are drifting towards shut even as I type.
Andrew would probably like her to wait for the same reasons, and also because he's hoping to have our basement family room finished by the end of the weekend, so we can move even more stuff around and have more living space to prepare for this 2nd baby.
And now my 1st baby is back upstairs and she wants to read, so the next time I post will most likely be to actually introduce little Miss Hadley. :)
