39.5 weeks

Nothing happening here... At my doctors appointment last Wednesday I had no progress from the week before. Barely 1 cm and the baby is still floating up pretty high. Ugh! To say it nicely I want this baby out! Friday is the day, four days and counting!!!!!

We got the crib hardware, so tonight's plan is to get the crib finally assembled. The only thing left is a little white desk that is being painted by my mother in law. I should be able to take some pictures of the nursery on Wednesday. Stay tuned.

Dave finally said on Sunday that we need to get serious about names. Yeah you think so. We still haven't discussed it though. I do have my short list ready. Ashley has names all picked out too. Coconut Dave for a boy and Kenzie for a girl. Interesting choice for the boy name :)

Is it Friday yet?

37 Weeks

I had a doctors appointment today... and nothing. I am barely at one centimeter and the baby is still floating around and has not dropped. I'm sure this one is as stubborn as big sister so it was expected. They have set my induction date for Friday 10/29. So if nature doesn't take its course (which I'm predicting won't happen) we will have a baby on 10/29.... or maybe 10/30.

My sleeping is getting worse, it seems like I make it till about 3:00 AM and then I toss and turn until the alarm goes off. I usually only have to get up once to use the bathroom, but last night I had to twice. David just said today that I have started to waddle (thanks sweetie) and I have definitely slowed my pace down. I just can't walk quickly anymore. Basically I am ready to have this baby.

The nursery is almost done... almost because Babee Tenda's customer service sucks. I have called the company at least five times and I still don 't have my crib hardware. They are real good about taking your name and number, but they don't EVER call you back! So I have a completed room but my crib is still in pieces. I need to paint a desk and find a lamp and it will be really complete. If I ever get my crib in one piece I will take pictures to share.

35 1/2 weeks

The countdown has begun... I'm not sure when the end will be but I want it sooner than later. The miserable stage has begun. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and he is bringing the induction calendar to next weeks appointment. I should have about 3 1/2 weeks to go!

The nursery is getting there. We went to put the crib together and could not find the hardware. I am sure it is in a box somewhere in the basement but the $11.00 they wanted to send me a new bag was better than searching for it! I have cleaned all the stuff (swing, car seat, bouncy seat, burp rags, blankets) and bedding now all I need to do is find the right plastic container and clean some clothes. I've bought some diapers and wipes so I think we are almost there. There are a couple of things I need to pick up this weekend but other than that I am ready!

Dave and I discussed names for about 10 minutes on the drive to St. Louis last weekend and got no where. I have a short list, he had one name (it was a boy name, is that a hint???). Since he can't come up with anything I have claimed all naming rights, but I have a feeling that won't fly. He wants a book of names... another thing that is in a box in the basement. I guess we need to kick it into high gear and get thinking (we did the same thing with Ashley though).

Dave is packing on the weight while I seem to be losing it (I have lost one pound on my last two visits). I have a huge appetite but when it is time to eat I fill up so fast, there just isn't any room. So Dave feels the need to finish my meals for me. I don't seem to be having any cravings... I do love a glass of cold milk though.

Any day now would be fine with me!

Pregnancy update

Today I am at the doctors office for a three hour Glucose test. What better time to update the ol blog. Keep your fingers crossed that I pass and don't have gestational diabetes.

I am am twenty eight weeks and am feeling full. My belly just seems so tight, it is all out front. I kinda wish it was going out to the sides to just make a little more room in there, but I am sure that is to come.

Heartburn has definitely set in, ugh it might be the worst part. You really can't enjoy a meal unless I've had my Zantac 75. The "pain in the butt problem" is there too, but nothing major yet and it's not painfull yet. TMI... I know :)

Ashley is sooo cute, she always want to know what the baby is saying. She will push on my belly and ask, so I am channeling my inner child and coming up with lots of tidbits from the inside. She also bugs Dave daily to tell her if it is a boy or girl. She promises she can keep the secret. So far he hasn't told anyone. Ashley has names all picked out; Hannah for a girl (she doesn't get that it is our new nieces name) and always something weird for a boy (cookey, mankey, keeky) because she really really really wants it to be a girl.

Dave and I haven't even started to bounce names back and forth. We still have time right?

Overall ready for it to be done, and I know I still have a ways to go.
