Today is the 16th of July. My due date is tomorrow and I'm filled with so many different emotions. Part of me still can't believe that I'm going to be giving birth to another life very shortly. It just doesn't feel real. The morning sickness, the cramps, the emotional rollercoaster, sure, that all feels real, but me being a mom, is still a little bit overwhelming I suppose. I'm sure that I'll be a great mother, and that all of those motherly instincts that I have heard about will kick in. I'm really excited to see my baby boy. I want to teach him so much. I can't wait to hold him.

I lost my mucous plug today in the bath. So far, that's the only real sign that labor is on it's way. I guess that's why I've been so down lately. I just don't feel like he's ever going to come. I have an appointment scheduled with my OB on Monday the 21st incase haven't delivered by then, and my induction is scheduled for the 23rd. At least I know that if I get induced, my husband will actually be home. We moved to Montana from Florida in April, and he's been working out of town alot. He's home one week night and then on the weekends. It's really hard being alone here because I don't really know anyone but my inlaws and my husband's boss' wife. I'm sort of limited in the friends department now, all of my family is still in Florida, so I'm pretty lonely. The few people that I do know are great, but it's just not enough. I need my husband, and part of me is scared that he won't make it home in time for the delivery. This is our first child and I know that he'd grow wings and fly if he had to, but the tricky part is actually getting ahold of him to even let him know that I'm actually in labor. He's in the mountains and cellphone service just doesn't exist in those parts. BLAH. Sorry for venting. I just need to have this baby already. AND I NEED MY HUSBAND HERE WHEN I DO IT.
