38 weeks!

Good News!

I am 50% effaced! And dilated to 2!

It is a good feeling to know he won't be in there forever!

Me in my favorite shirt! So comfy!!

My boys making fun of me!

37 Week Apt.

Just got back from the doctor....they didn't check me :-( , but blood pressure, baby movement and measurements are all on track...

Doctor said at this point I could go into labor at anytime and they wouldn't stop it. I am now considered full term! That's the best news I have heard all week.

She also said I need to pack my bags...which I know, but have been putting off, so today I am headed to buy a diaper bag and get my supplies...

I also asked her since I had to know, If since I carried Dylan for 40 weeks if it meant I would carry this baby for at least 40 as well, she said there is no way to know it differs with every pregnancy!

THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR...HOPE FOR LABOR ASAP...

Now I am off to volunteer at Dyl's preschool....I could use a nap, but seven 3yr olds sounds like a blast as well!

So ready!!

Well it has been a while since a post...which for those of you who know me well should have expected. I always have good intentions, but stuff doesn't always work out.

Well as of today I have 24 days left! AND I'M HUGE!!

and yes...those are stretchmarks....lovely!

also..I think I have been in these clothes for like 3 days

24 days may sound close, but it feels like an eternity. I am trying to throw myself into little projects for Dylan for Valentines Day and really just anything to pass the time.


I am mainly posting to give you all an update, but also to mark this moment for myself. When I look back on being pregnant with Dylan it all seemed so magically and pain free and just perfect. So when we go to make the decision to have our third I just want to be sure that I remember this day; when my stomach is killing me, my back is killing me, my breast are killing me. I have acid reflux so bad I throw up, which makes my stomach hurt even more. And I am so exhausted that the idea of ordering a pizza even seems like too much work for dinner. I am almost 37 weeks pregnant and I am still waiting for nesting...I hear its real I just need to experience it, heaven knows my house needs to.



I was hoping to keep my post happy and positive, but I think realistic is best for this one. I promised myself not to get anxious and just let the baby come in his own time, but if there is a qualified surgeon reading this I am ready for you to take the baby today!!!!



Love,

Grouchy Mommy!



p.s. Josh has been absolutely amazing, I am very lucky...it's like he was saving it all for the end. I rest when I need to, he gives me massages and he is super understanding. I have one of the best husbands and little boys. So for them I am grateful!
