10 on Tuesday, the end is near!

For obvious reasons, this one will mostly be about pregnancy and B's arrival!
1. We cannot wait for Brooklyn's arrival...ugh! It could be any moment and while we're so excited and anxious, we are literally scared to death. To think that we'll be caring for this totally, 100% dependent being on our own without an instruction manual can be a little overwhelming.
2. I'm going to miss playing with those little feet and pushing back or rubbing her little butt. She pretty much was sideways most of the past month with her feet on the left and her butt on the right. Fortunately, I have a tall torso so I never really felt rib jabs but I loved every minute of the rolls in my belly.
3. On the other hand, I have hated the heartburn...it's been so much worse the past month to the point where I haven't even wanted to eat just to avoid the ramifications.
4. Hiccoughs: yes, I hate seeing it spelled hiccups and I wish Webster and crew would just change the spelling of the word to appease the 240 million or so Americans who spell it phonetically instead of "hiccoughs." But, why I mention hiccoughs is that I wonder if she'll have them on the outside as often as she does on the inside? It took me a while to realize that's what they were. They were just these rhythmic motions that I felt just about everywhere and then the last 10 weeks or so (since I knew she's been head down since then), I've always felt them in the same spot and figured they were hiccoughs.
5. Fall: my favorite time of the year! It's so beautiful outside. I love, love, love looking at our house and all the fall leaves and colors! It's truly God's paintbrush!
6. October: I can't wait to share our birthday month together! Will she be a Libra or a Scorpio? Erik and I both think 10/22 will be her arrival day!
7. At my appointment today, I've changed to 60/1-2cm/0. Not a significant change from last week but enough that Dr. S is amenable to my request for induction on Friday. We're still so torn about what to do. I don't want to feel as though I'm playing God selecting when she's to be born or rushing something that's meant to occur on its own but at the same time, I would hate to miss a week of maternity leave b/c she decided not to make her arrival. I know induction would put me at an increased risk of C-section but I only hope that we do not regret whatever decision we make.
8. Last minute: talk about last minute...tomorrow we'll do the last of our maternity pictures b/c I should have an early enough day to do them in the afternoon before I need a nap! We have done 2 sessions so far...one at home a few weeks ago and one the other Sunday out at the Lake. Don't worry...we'll post pictures soon!
9. Naps: seriously, I think every adult needs to take naps. This past month, I've felt utter exhaustion by the time the afternoon rolls around so I need at least 30-60 minutes just to reenergize. Maybe it's the going to the bathroom 5 times per night that's disrupting REM sleep...I guess this is just preparation for the future!
10. The end of the suspense is near.......we just pray that everything goes well in the next few days and that we'll be holding our daughter in our arms soon!
