Sooner rather than later. . .

It looks like our baby William will be making his arrival sooner than his parents expected. At my last doctor visit I was told that it is standard practice to induce diabetic patients at 38 weeks. So, we're going to be speeding up the preparations a bit. Ben is working furiously on getting the kitchen done so that we can begin work in the baby's room. So, as things stand right now we've got 7 weeks until William's arrival. I know it's only two weeks but 7 weeks seems like so much less time than 9 weeks. Why is that?

To tell the truth, even though poor hubby is under a lot more pressure to get things done I'm feeling some relief. I'm glad to know that I won't have to wait and worry about knowing when I'm actually in labor, making it to the hospital in time, etc., etc., etc. I'm glad to know that I'll have an appointment, walk out the front door with my bag feeling just lovely, and, God willing, come home a few days later with a beautiful baby boy. I'm willing to sacrifice two extra weeks for that peace of mind.

Now, the only question left to be answered in the next 7 weeks is whether or not William will be sleeping in a completed nursery or a dresser drawer when he comes home. I have faith in hubby. Come back soon and check for an update on kitchen progress. Right now I'm looking at his tiny hiny up in the air while he's on his hands and knees diligently applying ceramic tile to my kitchen floor. Keep up the good work honey!
