Ready or not Mac's about to come!!!!

I went to the doctor yesterday for my 38 week appointment and I got great news!!  I am dilated to a two and 50% effaced!!  This morning there other signs he is getting ready to rock on out, but I don't want to gross out my prebaby readers.  Our only problem is Mike is out of town until Saturday morning, so I informed little man to hold out until then.  Mike's orders are to "sit on the couch with my legs crossed!" HAHA  I am staying pretty stationary writing thank you notes because I need my man by my side for this.  Saturday afternoon we will hit the walking trails!  I cannot even explain my thoughts right now.  I have read some blogs this week that have made me realize I can do this!!  I am not scared anymore and just want him safe and in our arms.  The prayers are working friends and family, so keep them coming.  I haven't really worried about motherhood, but delivery I have stressed until this week.  Like Mike says "We got this babe!"  So here goes nothing baby Mac!!  I hope you are ready for a wild ride with your parents and crazy dogs.

Love you already!

Chapter 3: What memory?

I have learned the past couple of weeks that a common symptom of pregnancy is memory loss.  I even read where there have been studies of women while pregnant vs. postnatal with significant differences.  Well, ladies and gentleman I definitely have this symptom.  This gets real interesting at work when I am trying to help my patients with memory loss. There are really not to many symptoms I haven't had. lol  Knock on wood for now most seem to have gone away! YAY!  M has even called me crazy pregnant lady because of the forgetfulness.  I have forgotten where I placed my drink, if I put mousse in my hair, if I took my prenatal vitamins, driver's license, sunglasses, keys (while in hand),  and many more that I have already forgotten (you get the picture).  I will try to post when I have these moments.  Most of the time it is pretty funny. 

This story pertains to me forgetting my license.  This Tuesday M and I went to a dinner theater.  I have NEVER been carded at a MOVIE until I am almost 5 months pregnant.  The gentleman at the door would not let me in without my license. I told him I was pregnant and swore I would not be drinking.  His response "you can be 14 and pregnant." M said "I would not be married to a 14 year old."  Needless to say I drove back home and had to get my license.  I guess maybe it's a compliment that I don't look 18.??.... I like to look young, but didn't think I looked that young.  Hopefully this brought a smile to your face! Happy Thursday Everyone!!
