Went to hospital this morning and they have given us a 'plan' going forward (all of this of course is based on nothing happening in the mean time) -
First thing Sunday morning we have to go in for "fetal monitoring", this means they will listen to the heart beat for an hour or something to make sure that it still steady and good or something, and somehow will able to tell the amount of fluid around the baby as well, to make sure that he does not dry out?
Then on Wednesday night (next week, not tomorrow) we go to the hospital to get thing started!!! They are going to do "stage one" of induction amd hopefully within six hours things will start happening. If after six hours nothing has happened they re-do "stage one" and wait a bit longer. They did not tell us what any of the further stages are and what they have to do if stage one does not do anything.
I just hope Peanut figures it out before we get to this point, two weeks late is too long to wait!!!

Nothing yet...
Well we are now five days over due, and the waiting game is getting old!
We have a hospital appointment this morning and we were hoping that we were not going to make the appointment, that we would be in the hospital by now on our own. This hospital appointment is still just a check up, they are not going to be intervening at this point, but hopefully we will start to but a plan place for intervention if things are not "moving".
We had an appointment a couple of weeks ago when they told us that as long as blood pressure and blood sugar levels stay good they will let us go up to two weeks over!!!
Well levels are well under control and i am half tempted to eat Maccas for every meal, not do any for of exercise and hold my breath while they take my blood pressure so my read go up.
They don't call me Evil-G for nothing (who they?)

D Day (the D stands for due)
Well, i have reached the due date!!!
Or at least as of the last scan we have reached the due couple of days. The first ultrasound gave us a due date of 25th Jan 2007 (today) and the last ultrasound gave us a due date of 25th to 27th Jan. I do find it funny that the closer you get the more vague the dates gets!
I have spent most of this week stocking the freezer with meals that M34tb4LL and i can simply defrost, heat and eat. We have two meals worth of pasta bake, four of curry mince, three of chili con carne, two of beef stroganoff and i am in the middle of cooking up a lentil curry that will be at least four meals worth. I also have three meals worth of lasagna thanks to friend, Droidy. After Droidy made the lasagna for us, M34tb4LL asked if i can hurry up and have the baby so we can eat it!!!
The nursery is all done, the car seat has been fitted into the car, the hospital stay and the labour bag have been packed, the freezer is stocked, the email auto-forward has been set-up (so M34tb4LL can SMS his email address and an email will be sent to all family and friends), I have not yet said "I've had enough of being pregnant", but i am saying that i am ready for this pregnancy to end...
Just need our little peanut now.
"Anytime your ready son!"

What's wrong with black?
I have finally bought the last few things on the list for the hospital bag, which is all backed and ready to go when Peanut is. Which according to M34tb4LL's Peanut countdown widget is in 9 days : 15 hours : 22 minutes : 19 seconds, but to the rest of us sometime around the 25th of this month.
I have bought a pair of track pants so i have something comfy to wear at the hospital, washed my jeans to wear home and packed them both in the bag. I also went on the hunt for feeding bras, because i did not have have any yet.
WELL!!!
I thought it would be best to go a bra shop and get one of the girlies there to help me - they sell bras every day and should know what size and stuff i need. I my wear bras, but i don't know anything about them!
So i went to large bra shop at the local shopping centre and told them of my needs. They asked me about the size that i am current;y wearing and then told me the size i would need in a feeding bra (not the same apparently!!!). They gave me a beige bra in the size they recommended and told me to put it on and wait for them to come in and check it for me.
I put it on and waited, waited, waited, waited - i thought if i have wait much longer i will go into labour! I put my clothes back on and went out to see if they had any 'nicer' looking bras, and in colours that would go with my wardrobe.
As i left the change room a girlie came up to me and asked if i had been fitted. I told her i had tried bra on, but she wanted to know had someone been in to check it - eerrrr, no! So she told me to go back and she will send someone straight away.
So i started the process again, but the bra on and waited. Then i stuck my head out of the curtain and started tyring to get attention, this only took a couple of yells.
A girlie came in the changing room with me, pulled on the straps a bit, asked a couple of questions, said me the fit was fine and told me to get changed again and she will 'put the bra through' for me - i think that means she was telling me i was allowed to buy it. Yaaaa, it might have been the right fit, but it was pretty darn ugly - and pricey!!! it cost as much as 6 of my normal bras!!!
I went out and put the bra back on the racks and starting searching for something nicer (and cheaper), and preferably in black - black goes with everything. In the size i need, no black, in fact in the size i need, there was only the one naff beige one! So i left the store with only the bra on my back.
I then searched every store i could think in the centre that sells bras, no black in any of them! I bought a pink one and a white one, but black is my preferred colour!
A couple of days later i got M34tb4LL to drive me to another centre, a little further away, still no luck - white, pink and beige only. We went to a few centres in the area and all of them came up with the same results. For the size i need - no black!!!! I even got one of the girlies in a bra shop to call her suppliers to see if they could get one, nope.
So i bought a second pink and a second white bra, have shoved them in the hospital bag and am now ready to go - black bra or not.

Three weeks to go...
So peanut is due in three weeks, from yesterday. Peanut is due in two weeks and 6 days.
Yup, three weeks.
That is 21 days (well seeing as it was three weeks yesterday it is actually 20 days)
I can still remember when my counter thingy was saying 200 days!!! but now it is saying 20 days?
and tomorrow it will day 19 days! and about a week and half we will be down to single digits!!!
Three weeks
I hate hot weather - my feet keep swelling up so much that i can not wear any of my shoes! Yesterday we went to visit M34tb4LL's mother at her annual holiday spot at the beach and by the time we got there i had to borrow her thongs because there was no way my shoes were going to go on my pudgy feet. It is literally the first time M34tb4LL has seem me wear a pair of thongs - EVER. I think today i will have to go to the shops and invest in pair of thongs of my very own.
Did i mention that there are only three weeks to go????
