38 Weeks!

Other than having to wait at the Dr. office for 2 hours because my Dr. have an emergency delivery, its was a good appt. I saw a Midwife, whom I had never met before, and liked her! I was skeptical about having her check me cause she wasn't MY Dr., but figured since I hadn't been checked yet, we wouldn't have any other comparison, so Tyson said "Just do it!" (He is getting kinda antsy, and quite excited) So she did. She said I was 50%, 1-2, and the baby is probably as low as he is going to get till I am in Labor. So, I asked her if she thought the chances were good of me coming this weekend on my own, and she said "There is a chance." (if so, I wanted to make it before Halloween so Tyson could take Hunter Trick-or-Treating) So Tyson made the call, and said "STRIP 'EM!". As she was doing so she said "OH, now you're like a 3!" Well, still not getting my hopes up, I did it last time and just got disappointed. So about midnight last night I starting having some contractions. But here I am still home. So we will see what tonight brings... But like I said, no high hopes here. It didn't work last time so no big expectations. But it makes it kinda hard when everyone keeps telling me they think it will be this weekend! Which would be nice! Im just excited. AND.... I lost a pound! Yipee! One less I have to lose after! So all you picture lovers, here you go with 13 days to go! Sorry I'm getting lazy with the picture posting!

37 weeks!

Yippee! Another week down! Things are looking just peachy. Just in a dilemma about what to do. She said she would strip my membranes next week, but now I can't decide if I want to or not. Part of me does and part of doesn't. Not that I expect it to work, since it didn't work TWICE last time. I just want to have a Nov. baby, since my birthday is Oct., but I also kinda don't want to wait if she is willing to do it. But I don't want to ruin Halloween either! But I for sure want him here and home before Tyson starts his class on the 12th! So I am stumped! But, she also said she would induce me on the 3rd if I chose to. But that decision is a little farther away, so I will have to wait for my opinion on that. Since that didn't work last time either! Any advice would be nice, and maybe help me decide!

So I am really lazy and don't want to upload the photos from my camera, so I just did the cell phone pic, way easier and faster. So that's why it's such good quality! Don't mind the clothes on the floor. (Tysons side of the bed, and I am too lazy to pick them up!) I was just going to write and not do a pic, but we all know it's a lot funner to see pics when we read! ENJOY!

36 weeks!

Not a lot to say, I feel like I say that every week, but it's true. The group B test came back negative which is way good cause that means she is able to strip my membranes if I chose to do so, which I would totally do next week if she would, but I HIGHLY doubt it. But I am hoping that she will at 38 weeks if I don't go before that. Which Hunter was late, so I wont be shocked if he decided to be late also, but Tyson has a class starting on the 12th for 6 weeks that he can't miss so we are hoping for the little guy to come at the first of the month so Tyson can get his 10 days of leave in before class starts, so I hope she will strip my membranes at 38 weeks for that reason! But I had them stripped twice last time and it didn't work either time, so who knows. She also said I have the option to be induced, but I really don't want to if it's not necessary since last time it did NOTHING for me! So... with all that being said, and probably just jibberish that didn't make a lot of sense to anyone, let alone anyone caring, but I had to write something and atleast try to make a worth while post... this is my belly. Large and in charge baby!!! My young women said to me tonight "you're getting big!" Thanks girls! You know just what to say to a pregnant lady to make her feel on top of the world!

Oops!

This morning Hunter was playing in bed with mommy and daddy. She recently has started balancing on the arm of the sofa and jumping onto the cushions. She decided to stand up to the headboard and fall down, much like she does on the couch. We have no idea where she learned this, but it's fun to watch her. After she stood up she got a little too close to the edge of the bed and did a total gymnast flip over the side! Good thing my phone was charging and I was recording because the cord broke her fall, otherwise we would have had one sad girl! It's kind of a hard video, but you can tell when she falls she hits the cord and the phone tears out of my hand and crashes to the floor. (at about 20 secs. you hear me say "safe!") It was funny to us, we laughed for a bit after we realized she was fine.

She is a tuff cookie! She can take lots of crashes and just shake it off. (she must have got that from her mommy!)

35 weeks!

Down to 1 week appts.! Yippee!! Every day closer is so much more exciting! This little guy is getting so big that it makes me want to puke some times! Mostly night time. And sleeping is a little difficult some nights. I also think I have officially hit the "full in 5 min. and STARVING the next 5" I can't eat a lot so therefore I am hungry faster. But for those of you who know me its not anything REAL new. I could go to a buffet and stuff myself and be hungry an hour later! I bought the first package of diapers for little brother today also. I had a $3 off coupon, so I decided I might should take advantage of that one! Which is a little sad considering it still would have been cheaper to get parents choice! The huggies were also $1 off regular price too, so ultimately it was $4 off making it $5.97 for 36 ( .16/ea.) and parents choice were $6.24 for 42 (.14/ea.). (plus, my additional 10% off walmart card, LOVE IT!, I will be REAL sad when that gets taken away!)

So, here is the belly bump, or mountain should I say! I am ready to be able to do my pants up again, and be able to curl over into a ball to stretch my spine!

ps. I only gained 1 lb. this time! Thats the smallest amount yet! YAHOO!!

We are still trying to decide what to name him. I don't think "little brother" will work after he's born. I would love any suggestions!
