Pregnancy Woes

Well, I am entering the third trimester of my pregnancy. For some of you readers, this pregnancy may have seemed fast for you, but for me it is really dragging. I realize there are some people who love being pregnant and really look beautiful when they are, but I just am not one of those people. This is why we are taking a break after this baby. Yes, I know, I have said that before, but this time I am really serious about it. Emotionally, I need a break!

I am starting to get excited about all the things that are going to be happening for us in the next couple of years and I really want to be in a condition to enjoy them. We will be having our baby Maggie in June, Daniel's internship in Houston this summer, interviews for jobs, actually getting a job and having money, buying a house, going on a real vacation and we are just going to enjoy our family. Since I have been pregnant or breastfeeding since September of 2004, I look forward to getting back to myself again and being able to really get our lives together and operate the way I want us to.

Back to talking about our little Magdalyn-- at my last appointment I was 26 weeks along and measuring more like 28. Of course this scares me because I measured big with Owen and he definitely was big. I have decided I need to get a doctor in Houston who will induce me early. I am really hoping for a 37 or 38 week induction. I know that is a little hopeful but I know that I can at least opt for the 39 week induction. It would be interesting if I actually went into labor since I have never gone into labor spontaneously before, but I am ok with a controlled environment complete with my pitocin and epidural. I guess we will see how things unfold.
