A Lifetime With You

Come on, Baby boy!

Flash forward a bit

Joe's POV
I roll over in bed and Taylor was sleeping peacefully, something she didn't really do much these days because the baby was usually super active in her belly. She's currently 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Baby boy is due any day now. He's actually overdue, which has been making Taylor miserable. She didn't stay asleep much longer. She got up and went pee and I watched her waddle to the bathroom. She didn't notice I was awake and she came back to bed. She lied down and I snuggled next to her, my hand resting on her belly. We fall back asleep.

12 PM
Taylor's POV
I'm having ANOTHER doctors appointment. This is my third one this week. I had one Monday, Wednesday, and now today, Friday. My parents were watching Avery because she can't sit still through my appointments considering she's now 10 months old and crawling. Joe and I go to my appointment and get called back immediately. I take off my pants and cover myself with the paper sheets that were in there. I lied back and started crying. I was in the middle of drying tears as my doctor came in. "Awww, what's wrong mama?" she asked. "Everything hurts and I just want him here already." She calmed me down. "Let's see how he's doing in there." I nod. She did my 3rd ultrasound of the week. "He's stubborn just like his mumma." Joe said. We all giggled. "He's looking good in there. I'm sorry, I know it's no fun, but I need to do a membrane sweep." she said. I was dreading it. She put two fingers inside of me and did whatever she needed to do to my cervix and it hurt like hell. "He's got a lot of hair." she said. "You can feel his head?" I asked. She nodded. "Ok so if your labor doesn't start by tomorrow night, we'll schedule your induction for Sunday. This little guy is not planning on coming any time soon. Little does he know, his plans are about to be interrupted. He's in for a surprise." she said. She wiped the gel off of my belly and leaves the room so I can put my pants back on. After I put my pants on we left. We went to pick up Avery from my parents and we went home.

Sunday 2 AM
I'm EXHAUSTED, but now it's time for Joe and I to get up. We've got to be at the hospital no later than 6 AM to get checked in and everything. My dad was coming to watch Avery and my mom is following us to the hospital. I snuck into Avery's room and peeked into her crib and she was sleeping so peacefully. "Bye, sweet girl. Mommy loves you so much." I whispered. I went downstairs and sat on the couch until my parents arrived. Joe opened the front door and let them in. "How you feelin?" my dad asked. "Sleepy. Very sleepy." I said. Joe double checked the car to make sure everything was in there. "Be sure to keep me updated. And send some pictures of him." my dad said. "We will" Joe said. We hugged my dad and left for the hospital.

3 AM
We arrived at the hospital and we got checked in. We were taken up to the labor and delivery room where I would most likely be giving birth. I undressed and got changed into the hospital gown and just lied in bed, waiting for a nurse to come in and start everything. As scared as I am, I'm so ready to finally be able to hold him in my arms. Just hoping that I'm not in labor for basically 2 whole days like I was with Avery. I could feel my nerves getting worse and all of a sudden, there's a knock on the door. Joe opens it and a nurse comes in. Here we go. It's happening.

Sorry to end it like this, don't hate me 😂. The next part they will have the baby, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to write it, but I'm hoping between today and Thursday.
