Ok, so it's been an inexcuseably long time since I posted. It just seems that everytime I think about it I am far too tired to do it, or so crabby that I'm scared I'll come off like the raving madwoman I am. But, feeling both tired and crabby, here's an update.
The first, most urgent news on my mind is the latest from my Dr. appt. I am now 37 1/2 weeks, and for the last 3 weeks he has told me that between the diabetes and the baby being breech for a while (no longer, thanks to a not-pain-free turning) that I would be induced by the 24th of May. (Saturday of Memorial Day weekend) He assured us that he was working that weekend and that we could safely buy my mother in law's plane ticket for that date.
Well, apparently, his schedule changed. Now, things look SO good with the baby and me, that they will NOT induce until FIVE days later, on the 29th of May.
Sooo, it looks like we can all just "hang out" and wait for the baby while MIL is here. Please, don't try to console me with "maybe you'll go early" type sentiments. My womb is apparently like the Ritz Carlton, and each baby is extremly resistant to leaving, even being 10 days late and drugged with pitocin. Besides, I'll be 39 weeks at that time anyway, so that already IS early.
Just not as early as I'd finally allowed myself to believe. You know how it is when you've promised your kids something, and promised, and promised, and then when it comes time to deliver (no pun intended) you realize, "Oh, crap, this really WON'T work today!" and you have to tell them so? You know that fit you see them throw? Well, that's me today.
Lucky for Jared he's been out of town for 3 of the last 4 weeks. Pregnancy and I just do NOT like each other much the last 4 weeks.

Well that does not sound like fun! Bummer! I like your analagoy of telling the kids something then being unable to "delver". I'll throw a fit here in your honor. Thanks for the update!
That was pretty mean of the doc, wasn't it? How can he change plans like that with a pregnant woman???? So sorry, Tiff. BTW, is this the little girl who has been hanging on your apron strings for the past 8 years? Or is that another little girl who wants to come to you? :)
