Just Waiting

Here I am at 38 weeks!  Just trying to keep baby in two more full weeks.  My doctor thinks I am crazy not schedule an induction or at the very least have him do a membrane sweep in an attempt to have the baby before Matt leaves for Scout Camp.  I told him if she comes on her own, she comes, but I am not doing anything to encourage her yet.  I have never gotten this far without having an induction scheduled so it feels a little weird to have no idea when she will come after always having it planned before.  Matt and I both prefer to wait.  We are not worried about him making it for the birth, the hospital is only 40 minutes away from the Scout Camp, but we would both like to relax and spend time together with our new baby without the chaos of Scout Camp orchestration to coordinate.  We have plenty to keep us busy, I took the YW to Welfare Square today on a tour, tomorrow is my baby brother's HS graduation, my cousin's wedding is on Saturday, Matt will be building a shed in our backyard all weekend plus all the regular baseball and soccer games the boys have.  Not to mention my little brother David and his wife are due with a little girl any time now.  I feel really good except for the hard time sleeping.  I can tell things are progressing, but I have learned from past pregnancies that I can be at a 4 for several weeks before anything happens :)  The kids are pretty excited to meet their sister, and so am I!  We drove by the hospital the other day when I had an errand in Orem.  I pointed it out to Sydney and Austin and Austin said, "Mom!  You are going to have your the baby in a Scout place?"  "What!?" I asked.  I had no idea what he was talking about.  "They have a Scout flag mom!  It is a Scout place."  I look up to see a huge American flag in the hospital parking lot.  I had to explain that it was not a Scout flag, but the American flag and how the Scouts use it.  :0  Obviously we talk about scouts a lot over here.  Matt is the Scoutmaster, I am in cub scouts, Zack is a Webelo scout and Scouts frequently come over to get things passed off by Matt.  I loved that he associated the flag with Scouting.  :)  Here is to two more weeks!!  We can make it!
