Eviction Notice!

My Facebook status this morning :).

EVICTION NOTICE:

Dear Baby McFarlane,

Due to multiple complaints in recent weeks, including reports of rowdy late-night parties, excessive abuse to the residence (may I remind you that trying to kick your foot through the wall is unacceptable), unauthorized redecorating (squiggly, red lines all over the outside of the residence are both unattractive and not part of the original lease agreement)..., damage to the structure and foundation of the residence, and failure to pay rent in the last nine months, it is my duty to inform you that you must vacate your current residence, effective immediately. If you should fail to vacate within the next five days, you will be forcefully removed on Wednesday, May 9, 2012. No exceptions.

Your Mommy

P.S. I'm not kidding! Get out!

So that's it. We've set our induction date for Wednesday, May 9. I am still hoping that he comes before then, but it is nice to finally have an end in sight.

Things have been getting worse and worse by the day as far as discomfort goes. I barely sleep at all now. I'm exhausted 24/7. For my sake and all those around me, I hope this baby comes soon. Maybe then I will be able to pass him off for an hour or two and get a decent sleep for the first time in weeks. I am really lucky that I will have people who will do that for me.

However, I think I still have at least a few more nights of discomfort and insomnia. My little man is quite happy where he is. Even Dr. Yacoub remarked at how much amniotic fluid he still has. In most pregnancies, the amniotic fluid begins to deplete in the last few weeks of pregnancy, crowding the little one and causing them to become "quieter." Not me. For some reason, he still has lots of amniotic fluid, giving him plenty of room to play with. This means that I have one very active little one on my hands, all day long. In fact, I think he may be more active now than he was several weeks ago. This can end up being very painful for me! I just hope that the excess of amniotic fluid does not make him so comfortable that he waits it out to the very end. My fingers are crossed that he will come this weekend.

And considering the super moon we are supposed to have on Sunday, my wish just might come true. I don't know if there is any truth to the old wives tale, but I have heard a lot of people back up the stories. I will take anything I can get at this point, so a super moon sounds pretty good. Baby might be here by Monday morning.

In the meantime, I think lots of walking is in order to help get things moving along. Walking is still pretty hard for me to endure for more than fifteen minutes at a time, but I am going to try to push through. Hopefully it will help.

But no matter what, this kid is coming out on Wednesday, May 9! Or Thursday, May 10, if I am unfortunate enough to suffer through a very long labour... Either way, definitely a baby by the end of next week.
