Only 2 days left!

If you read my post yesterday, I am sorry you had to. I was just having a moment and I am doing better now :]

I can't believe that in 2 days I will FINALLY get to meet my precious baby boy. Oh, what if he is a she?! She better like blue, that is all I know! Anyway, I am beyond excited! I will finally have a complete family with the man of my dreams, what I have been looking forward to for many, many years! I actually slept pretty good last night. The baby settled in better so he was not in my ribs all night.

This week I have tried to just take it easy, without getting too bored. I have gone to eat lunch with Aaron 2 times, I made sugar cookies and frosted them with royal icing for the ladies at work, I have cleaned on a daily basis, and just hung out with my 3 babies! Yesterday, Aaron came home early from work and we played the Wii together. Even though he says I cheated, I beat him in all the games we played together, yes even golf! :)

I was thinking this morning about how much our life is about to change, just the small things. Like, when we go out for dinner now, it will be a table for 3, not 2. How crazy is that!

I am not doing much today, my mom is on her way now. I need to go get a few things that I have thought we need from Target later, but otherwise, nothing. Maybe I will take a walk around the block since it is going to be such a beautiful day.

I will try to keep this updated as much as possible after the baby is born, but I am sure it will be hard at first.

Eviction date is set

I went to the dr. today, instead of Thursday. I had to see a male dr., which I didn't really know about, but Aaron and I both LOVED him. He was so informative and super nice. I was not checked to see if I was dilated or effaced anymore because I really don't care to be and he said that it's not like he can predict labor by checking. He is prediciting that the baby will be 7 1/2 to 8 lbs. He said that you can go by how much I have gained and how much I weighed when I was born, which was around 7 1/2 lbs. I did gain 5 lbs. in the past week, but he said it was water weight, not all the doughnuts I ate yesterday :) So the date is set for February 8th, which would have been my grandaddy's birthday.

When I go in for the induction they will decide then how they will induce me. If I am effaced enough, they wil break my water and let nature take it's course, if not they will insert something that will soften my cervix to allow them to break my water. If breaking my water does not work, which he said only fails about 15% of the time, then I will be given pitocin IV. This is what I really hope does not happen because it causes such strong contractions. So we will see if he beats the date or if he will hang in there until Sunday. Aaron said he better not decide to come on Saturday when there is a big basketball game on!

Happy due date!

I never thought I would make it to this day! I do think that he has finally dropped, because I have had alot of pelvic pressure since yesterday's walk. I am going to run some errands today and maybe walk around the mall, so maybe that will get things going even more! Last night I thought my water broke, because I felt this warm sensation all of the sudden, but I was not wet and I had just peed (in the toilet!). I don't know what that was about. I have been getting more contractions, some are even getting stronger.

Maybe getting a little closer

I am hoping what I have been feeling is a good sign! I have been nauseous since yesterday and I vomited last night. I have also been feeling alot more contractions. They are not painful and unfortunately not regular. Aaron and I went grocery shopping this morning and went for a walk outside this afternoon. Hopefully that will help! Last night I woke up every 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. Poor Aaron seemed to be awake every time I was awake also. This little boy seemed to be moving everytime I was awake also. Maybe he will make his debut in the next few days. We have our suitcase, the baby's bag, and the carseat all in the car, so all we have to do is get in the car and go.

Yesterday, Aaron and I had our last date as a married couple without children. We went to the movies and saw "Taken", which was really good, and then we went and ate at Uno's Chicago grill. We were going to finish it off with a blast from Sonic, but these people up here are so excited about the new Sonic that there was a huge line just to get in the place!

Aaron and I will be parents to a little baby boy in a week or less! What are we going to do with this little guy?!?! I don't think it has sunk in yet, for me, that I will be a mom in a matter or hours or days! I hope to be the best mother a child can want or have. He has, and always will, come before anything else in my life.

Still waiting

Nope, no baby yet. I worked yesterday and had tons of contractions. So maybe he is getting ready to make his big debut! One of the drs. said it looked like he was lower, so maybe he is making his way down. I don't care if I am watching the super bowl tomorrow, I would prefer to be holding my little boy! I am thinking about calling on Monday to see if they have had any cancellations at the drs. office so that maybe I can get an earlier appointment.

I will be making this private on Monday.

A baby story

One should not watch A baby story while pregnant! I am off today and trying to talk myself into cleaning house, but instead I watched A Baby Story on TLC, not a good idea! I started bawling my eyes out when the baby was born and the mother got to see him for the first time. I can't wait for that experience, and I know it is so close.

Tomorrow will be my last day of work until May. What am I going to do with myself if this baby is not born soon? I can't sit here waiting on him to come for a week, I might go crazy!

Oh, he likes grapes! I was eating grapes for breakfast and he started moving like crazy!

Whatever

I called yesterday, like I was told, to let the dr. know that I have been having headaches and that my vision had been blurred. They wanted me to come in to see the nurse practitioner. I don't think she read any of my history from the day before and I felt like she did not listen to anything I had to say. She told me that I should just take tylenol for my headaches and she was not concerned since all of my lab work was normal. She then checked my cervix, which she said wasn't doing anything. I don't know what that means. She also said his head was still up high. I was so frustrated with the whole situation. I felt like no one was listening to me and that I was going to be pregnant for forever. Everytime I thought about it I would cry. Today, I am better. I have come to realize that he will come when he is ready or I will eventually be induced. If I am induced now, the risk would be higher that it would fail and I would have to have a c-section, since I don't have any progress.

My poor little Abby can't win for losing. I took her in for vaccines today. We had already discussed that we would do very minimal vaccines, since she does have a immune mediated disorder. She got rabies and distemper/parvo, which are 3 year and kennel cough. The poor little thing had a vaccine reaction and vomited and her muzzle got very swollen. She is doing better now, and thank goodness it was not any worse. Her dr. has decided that she will no longer get vaccines. We can have titers done, if needed, but we will not have to worry about that for 3 years anyway.
