So, there’s been SOME progress, but not much. According to my doctor’s visit yesterday, I am still 50% effaced, and I am now 1 cm dilated. Woo hoo! . I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. LOL Both Kwabena and Ohene waiting until 2 days before their due dates to come, and came within the 1 a.m. hour on their due dates. I shouldn’t expect this little guy to do anything different, should I?
I’m so huuuuuuugggeee right now! I am topping 55 lbs now. Yes, 55 pounds. It’s unbelievable! I just feel heavy all over. Even when I lean my head all the way back, I feel the neck roll back there in the way. ICK!
I was guesstimating that my delivery date would be this Monday, November 14th. That’s significant because Kwasi’s dad passed away on that date 4 years ago. And wouldn’t it be nice to have a bit of sunshine on that date? Plus, since we’re naming him “Kojo,” (boy born on Monday), it is simply fitting. But, a week later, Nov. 21st, is great, too, because that’s Kwasi’s mom’s birthday!
So now, it’ s just the waiting game. I feel a little bad for Kojo, though. Poor thing…..everyone overlooks baby #3. Even myself, I just haven’t focused on this pregnancy the way I have the other kids. Even people at my job, NO ONE, even brought in a cake or anything to say “congratulations!” I had mentioned it to Hakimah last week and she was like, “ooooh, but I didn’t even think about it, because I know how you don’t care about stuff like that.” And she’s right in that I’m not one that cares so much. But, it’s the thought that counts. At least a CAKE, or some acknowledgement would be nice. I don’t expect gifts, or a gift card, for that matter. But damn, can’t a baby get a little recognition??
I’m guilty of not focusing on the baby, too. I have been so involved with trying to get projects done around the house, that that is where all my focus has been. Plus, I want to get the house as decorated as possible so I don’t feel like there’s a lot to do once the baby is here.
And I haven’t even packed a bag yet!!!!
This weekend I promise I will prepare. This will be my last weekend to get things in order!!!
Kojo, here you come, sweetheart!!!!! Jump right in! Your family is waiting!
