Had some spotting this morning, which was a little scary. Called the doctor and he said it's normal to have some spotting after having contractions. Just had to monitor Kaila's movement to make sure she was still kickin it in there, and make sure the bleeding didn't get worse.
Carpel tunnel is killing me lately. My hands get numb when I need to make a fist, which means writing, using utensils to eat, opening jars and bottles, etc. is ridiculous. My entire arm gets a tingly numbing pain and sometimes stretching helps, but sometimes it doesn't. One thing I won't miss about pregnancy.
It's really hard to believe that Kaila's finally going to be born. After all this waiting, all these months thinking about having a baby and preparing for her arrival haven't really prepared me for the actual fact that I'm going to have a baby. From this point forward, we'll be responsible for another human life besides our own. We finally get to experience the kind of love only a parent feels for their child. That love you've heard about and try to imagine, but know you can't fathom until you experience it.
So.. tomorrow at 6:30pm PST we'll be arriving at the hospital. I'll get induced, and within the next few hours I'll squeeze Kaila out into the world. So look forward to the next few blog posts, I'm sure I'll try to include pictures of the little one. SOOO curious what she'll look like. I guess we got an idea from the 3D sonograms, but I'm sure it will be totally different when we see her in person! She'll be the cutest wrinkly, red, slimy fleshed, quivering ball of joy, and I'll probably cry just like I do when I watch every episode of a baby story.. except this time I'll have a personal connection and legitimate reason for my tears.
Eee. Scary.
