my last weekly checkup/unwanted stress right before Trey is born

So yesterday was my last weekly checkup before Trey arrives next week! The appointment went well. I measured right on track again, my blood pressure was good which was really surprising with the week that I have been having, and his heart beat was nice and strong--a little over 150 bpm! When she checked me, she said that I was 1 cm this time, so I did progress a 1/2 cm over the week. She was saying that I was about 50% effaced too, but that she doesn't think I will go on my own, so she thinks its a good thing that we went ahead and set up the induction. My OB doesn't let any of her patients go past 40 weeks because there is proof that even going a little bit over can cause distress to the baby, so I guess with the little progress that I have made, she feels that I wouldn't have gone on my own by the time I was 40 weeks (next Saturday). So we have our induction all set up, and ready to go. Brian and I have to be at the hospital on Tuesday (1/19) at 8 AM to get registered and settled in, and then they will start the induction process around 9ish. Then we will be waiting on our little guy to decide to come out!! We are really excited that he will be here in 4-5 days!! We thought the induction was going to be on Tuesday night, but were wrong. So if he comes on the 19th, then that's fine, but if he comes on the 20th, then that's even better!! hahaha.

Also, I know a lot of you are friends on facebook with me, and I wanted to make sure everyone knew what all was going on. There have been rumors circulating around the mall here like wild fire that my store was closing. We even had a store coming in telling my other managers that they were taking our space. After lots of stress, phone calls from other stores asking about it, phone calls and comments from customers coming in the store and asking, I found out yesterday from my DM that our corporate office made the decision to close my store. Terrible timing for me! Granted, I would have been just as upset if it happened well before now or after the baby was born, but being 5 days before Trey is born, was even worse. I still get to keep my full maternity leave and they are going to let me keep my health insurance the entire time of my leave as well, but essentially, I lost my job yesterday. I have never had to deal with that before, and it was really hard, and it certainly wasn't any easier being almost 10 months pregnant and hormonal. I know that everything will turn out fine, its just stress that I didn't want to have right now. I was planning on being off work for 3 months, and then going right back to work at GUESS, and now I will be off work for 3 months, and then be looking for a new job. There is a lot to think about with all of it, but right now, I'm just trying to not be stressed about anything and getting as much rest as I can before Trey gets here next week! Thanks for all the support I have already received from everyone! I have the best family and friends that anyone could ask for!
