So as of 11:00 am this morning, I'm 2 cm dilated and the doctor says I could go anytime (that's progress from last Monday, when I was only 1 cm). But they won't schedule an induction until next week, assuming I haven't delivered by then.
I'm really hoping Junior cooperates and just comes out already! I'm tired and just READY. Plus, my parents are already in town and as much as I know my mom came to "help", its causing me more stress to have her here.
Plus, my motivation at work is GONE. I have no interest in anything work related. I just want to "nest". And plan my meals for "after baby". And plan my workouts for "after baby". Etc. Everything is "after baby".
Oh, I should mention, I'm supposed to hear about the uber-cool job prospect some time this week. I think its mine, but I'm not 100%, because they did short list 3 of us, so if one of the others made a really knock-out impression . . . Plus, in my last interview, they took me around to meet a number of the (multitudes) of people who would be working under me, and frankly, it IS a bit intimidating. While I consider myself to be intelligent, capable, and a good engineer, I can't pretend to have vast experience in managing people. Just the small groups of engineering teams who work on my projects. In this position, I would have 9 people reporting directly to me (department heads, essentially), and beneath them, staff of 40 or 50. So a fairly major change in responsibility level. I'm confident I'm up to the challenge, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't freak me out at least a little bit!
At any rate, my current job is very secure, so there's no-harm, no-foul if the prospect doesn't turn into an offer. I'll just consider it something that wasn't meant to be.
Ok. I'm at work and should at least try to get a few things done. Though I've been fairly successful in foisting off a lot of my stuff to other people since I could need to leave at any time.
As always, I'll keep everyone posted regarding little Colin. Hope he's out this week!

Hey there Amy,
Thanks for your supportive comments over on my blog. As usual, everything seems better - at least a little bit - after I've had a chance to sleep on it.
I remember how hard those last couple of weeks of pregnancy are. With every little twinge, you start thinking, "Is this it?" Every day feels like an eternity. But little Colin will be here soon enough, don't you worry!
As for the new job, I know the prospect of doing so many new things can be a little intimidating, but I'm sure you can meet the challenge, and after all, this is how you grow and learn, right? It sounds like a wonderful opportunity, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Take care,
Robin
