Is it October yet?

Going on 39 weeks pregnant this week, and... I really do believe I've hit my limit. I'm sore all the time, all I want to do is sleep - and of course, I cannot get comfortable if my life depended on it, I've actually lost my appetite, and I'm just flat out feeling HUGE. I'd like to say my little body has hit her weight limit and is running on the bare minimum right now. However, due to my stubbornness - I refuse to have this baby before October (like I have any say) I don't know what it is, but I just really Really REALLY want an October birthday. This is my absolute favorite time of year and bringing a baby into this world in October would just be the tip of the iceberg for me. I just like the idea of an October birthday? Hopefully little Squirt likes the idea too! We have had long talks about waiting until October. I'll even take going into labor September 30 as long as Squirt is born after 12:01am aka... October 1st!

This week is my last week at work. Yes, I am still working. Even my doctor thinks I'm insane... But hey, I made a promise to stick it out until the end of September and I'm going to stick to it! Thankfully, I work with the most amazing people and love my job to pieces - and they don't make me work unless I'm really needed. Which for the past week or so has been 3 days out of the 5 - so technically I'm working part-time... so that doesn't make it to bad. I just have to make it through this Friday! Then,  come Sunday night - I think the hubby and I will take pups to one of our local trails and take a nice, long walk to bring in October :) If patterns stay the same every time I'm out and about for a long amount of time... I'm pretty sure we could get Squirt here. My doctor flat out said that he has no concerns about having to induce me - the baby is well on his/her way just fine. With already being 2.5cm dilated and Squirt's head being ever so low - I must say, I agree!

Alex is about to pop. He wants Squirt here NOW. Which...

1.  If he was the one pregnant and had to go into labor - I'm sure I'd feel the same way.
1. But he's not. I am. The only thing he has to worry about is not passing out during the delivery.
2. The house isn't clean enough yet. Maybe its my OCD mixed in with a wave of hormonal nesting... but nope, not ready. 
1. Getting the boy to dishes is like pulling teeth with pliers for instance.
3. I WANT AN OCTOBER BIRTHDAY GARSH DARNIT.
1. So stop talking about it - I can make it another week!

I plan on winning this battle. Hopefully Squirt will be on my side too. 

38 weeks!
