Mama Hippo and Kobe Dog

Mama Hippo, a day before the due date...

I couldn't sleep last night. I'm so heavy and awkward that it makes for an interesting night. I fully plan on a nap today, maybe here soon. Tomorrow morning, I have an appointment. The plan at this point is to schedule an induction for next week, preferably early. But, as with everything else, we won't know until after the doctor makes her decision after assessing me. I refused the early induction because I know it would not have worked and it would have made me stressed out. I'm enjoying my quiet time at home with Kobe.

Speaking of Kobe... we took down his kennel because he's almost three. He's such a good dog that we didn't see the need to kennel him during the day. I moved his bed and thought all was well... It was, but he did make himself comfy on the couch which is a no-no. I moved his bed back and am hoping that this was the reason he was on my couch. I think he's confused because I'm home and he definitely knows something is up. If I move, he moves with me. He's ready for sister love to be here.

Today is my parents 31st wedding anniversary. I'm so grateful for the example that they have set for us girls. My parents are not perfect, and they've shown us that marriage is hard but it's worth the fight and the hard times make the good times that much better.

39 weeks, 6 days. Baby love is still comfy cozy in her uterine home.
