Yep, I am still pregnant! Grayson appears to be quite content in the space I have provided for him. Although his constant movements and poking would make me think otherwise. He is starting to keep me awake at night which I can only imagine is his thoughtful way of easing me into life after his arrival.
I went to the doctor yesterday and I am still not dilated. As of now, we have set an induction date of October 30. That is my actual due date so we'll see if I can make it until then. The earliest they can legally induce is 39 weeks (around October 23). Shane and I figure if we can make it to the end, we'll both have our last days of work be on October 26. I am super excited because Shane is getting to take 3 weeks off! It actually turns into 4 weeks since he has off the entire week of Thanksgiving. I think it will be so great that we'll be home together with Grayson during the first month of his life. It will be nice to have the extra set of hands and get to figure this parenting thing out together, too. Plus we'll get another 2 weeks together at Christmas before we both go back to work in January. I get 12 weeks off but I plan on going back to work after 10 weeks to work some half days. This will help me ease back into the office and get used to taking Grayson to daycare.
This past weekend Shane and I went out to dinner on Friday in an attempt to get in the last few date nights that we have available. My family is taking us to lunch this Sunday for the same reason. We are enjoying our last couple of weeks together but are definitely eager and anxious to meet our baby boy and start our life together as a family!
