offically doing the waiting game...

I had my OB appt yesterday, no changes, now this is getting old... I wanted alittle progress, 2 cm would have been nice. Now I am afraid I will be late and have to be induced, when will my body kick it up a notch, I mean a few weeks ago it was doing as it was NOT suppost to with all the contractions, they have seemed to stop.

Today was also my official last day at work, I was planning on working till the end, but my blood pressure is extremely low for me and I am having dizziness on and off, they suggested I limit my driving, well all I do for my job is drive from school to school so having to drive 45 minutes for my furthest school made them nervous, I thought maybe I should have a week to myself before she arrives, so here I am officially on maternity leave and for some reason i feel guilty. I guess I need to be doing something all all times.

Baby stuff is ready, we are ready, I am sad to soon not be pregnant but so excited to meet her.

14 days and counting...

I would guess within the next two weeks we will be having a baby... I never thought throughout this pregnancy I would be late, but now I am thinking I will be on time or a little late. I have had NO contractions the last two days, well one or two but not like before. Avery told me this morning that the baby is coming out tomorrow, she was referencing to how big I am and how the baby is running out of room. I hope she is not right, we only have the living room to do, which will be today and DH is putting the car seats in the cars today, he already took the cars for washing. I wondered what happened to my husband.

We yard saled this morning and I got so much Gymboree stuff (I heart gymboree) for the baby I can not even stand it. And it was 3 for a $1.00. Even better deal.

Will post pictures soon, of everything, baby's room, belly pics I have not posted and other stuff... I am so behind on my pictures.

It is very muggy here b/c it is suppost to rain this afternoon, so it is hard for me to motivate myself to straighten the house and organize, hopefully it cools off soon. So glad I will not be pregnant during the HOT months, I would be so uncomfortable.

Update on me...

I have 14 days to go... and fatigue has hit full force. I am not having many contractions and have been dizzy the last two days which the DR says I am not drinking enough (yes I am ) and not eating enough protein (which I am not) so I am upping my protein intake. Meat has been something I have been not liking lately, so I have not gotten as much as I should.

The baby gave me a few sacres this week with non movement - then all of the blue she will start moving,she must be very cramped in there b/c it is starting to hurt.

I still have t get the living room and kitchen done, hopfully tonight and I will feel better about her coming at any time, plus I would love to just sleep for the next two weeks, if she stays in that long.

I am so excited to meet her, but love being pregnant so her coming it kinda bittersweet.

No changes..

Had OB appt today, I am still 1 cm, 60% effaced... no changes. I prayed this morning for no changes b/c I have some stuff to do yet, plus I am sad about NOT being pregnant anymore soon, then when she told me no changes I felt disappointed.

Making a list..

To keep myself accountable I am making a list of all the things I HAVE to do this weekend, you all can keep me on track.

1. Finish setting up baby's room (DONE)
2. put together all baby equipment (DONE)
3. rearrange living room for baby stuff
4. make room in kitchen for baby stuff
5. put baby stuff in bathroom (DONE)
6. pack baby bag for hospital (DONE)
7. pack my bag for hospital (DONE)
8. install car seat bases in both cars (Dh's job)
9. buy Avery her BIG sister gift from her little sister (Avery already picked out her gift for the baby) (DONE - ORDERED coming Wed.)
10. Pack a bag for Avery for when I am in the hospital.


There are still some odds and ends, but this is stuff I definitely need to get done before she arrives.

must do...

I HAVE to get the last baby stuff done this weekend... I realized I am dragging my feet... I have her room set up with everything but one thing on her walls... but there is still everything just thrown in the room, I have not gotten the living room and kitchen prepared for the baby. This weekend we HAVE to get these things done, and as for packing my bag for the hospital, well that has to get done too.

So this weekend is it, Friday night and Saturday we have a lot of things to tie up and get done.

I ahve had no contrax like this past weekend, they seems to slow alot... so I am feeling better that I have some time yet.

I am so excited to meet her but still a little sad she will not be all mine anymore. Oh and having a little anxiety she will be a boy, b/c we have PINK everywhere!!!

OB appt today...

Went well and even though I did not do half what I wanted to this weekend, I felt good going to my appt not nervous... I am still 1cm but now am 50-60% effaced, she was leaning towards 60%, so I am on my way... The only problem was I DO have group strep B, had it with DD have it again - yuck.

I am hoping to use all my energy this week to finish her room, set you the living room and kitchen with baby stuff and get all the last minute things done...

This weekend we finished out shopping at BRU, I took DH with me... he volunteered (why I think he did is for another post) which he never does. Once we got to the check out and our bill was $365.00 (paid more then half with gift cards) he looked at me and said, if this is how it is going to be every time no more babies, so do not get any ideas.

So it looks like he will have to get snipped if that is how he wants it.

I am getting sad this pregnancy is almost over, this will probably be it, b/c the chances of us getting pregnant on our own are slim less then 3% and who knows how my FSH has changed, and I am not sure if I would ever do treatment again, and Dh probably would not agree with it, it was draining on me and somewhat on him. SO I AM living it up, and trying to enjoy my last few moments that I have her all to myself, b/c I hated handing Avery over to my family, I wanted to have her to myself.

So hopefully I get a lot done and I can have a relaxing last few weeks (if I make it) or not you know how things always come up.

HOLY COW!!! I am going to be a Mommy of Two!
