38 week OB visit

0cm dialated and 0% effaced. And she hasn't dropped. I also spilled my urine sample on the floor and cried. I also didn't realize how much it hurt when they check you. The doctor said I can start walking though. And my blood pressure was down.

I've been having a LOT of drama lately. And you wouldn't fully understand unless you have been involved in the situation the entire time. I'm hoping it can get sorted through soon though.

Christmas is approaching. I'm so excited to have the best present on her way. Hopefully she'll be here soon but mom went over due with my brother and sister so I'm not worrying about it. If I've made a happy home for her then I'm glad I could do that. :) I still love feeling her move. It's really amazing. It's getting a little uncomfortable though and I'm ready to meet her. :)

38 weeks

Since there isn't much to update you about baby wise. I'll update this way like I use to. :)

How far along? 38 weeks, today. Holy cow.

Weight gain/loss: I was doing very good until right before they put me on bed rest. And I gained a lot but they think it's all water weight due to my swelling.

Maternity clothes? deffinately.

Stretch marks? YUP!- oh the sacrifices!

Sleep? I'm sleeping on the couch again. I live in the bathroom so I have to take cat naps.

Best moment this week? getting told baby is doing very well despite my BP.

Food cravings: pb&j sandwiches. YUMMY!

Gender: baby girl- Elizabeth Nicole aka Lizzie

Belly button in or out? Still in! haha I guess it won't come out or either I'm not done yet. lol

Movement? She's moving like she suppose to. Like a champ! I love feeling her little hiccups.

What I miss? Being able to do stuff. I hate being on bed rest.

What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my baby!!!!

Weekly wisdom: A little walking never hurt anyone....Shhhh. :)

Milestones: BH have turned into REAL contractions. O the joy! But I'm excited to go through because I know I'll get to see my LO very soon.

Doctor's appointment on Wednesday went good. I'm still on bed rest because my BP is borderline high. My sugar levels in my blood were good. Baby's heart rate was great. They said she's head down. I have an appointment on Tuesday. They will check to see if I'm dilated/effaced then. I'm also curious to see if they are going to induce me because of my BP. Anyways everyone send us baby dust and hope this LO comes earlier rather than later and that she's healthy!

Black Friday!!!

I'm on bed rest and can't go. The first year I actually want to. I think it's because I can't and I'm a very defiant person. lol The doctors made sure I knew shopping was NOT allowed. :) We don't have any money anyways unless we went to Macy's or Khol's (we have cards for those places). O well. Happy shopping, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Baby watch hasn't started yet. She's determined to be born in December it seems. My MIL told her to come so she wouldn't have to cook tomorrow. lol

Here's to hoping everyone is having a safe holiday so far. BTW what are you thankful for?

I'm thankful for my amazing husband. He is my everything. I'm also thankful for my amazing MIL and Mother. They have been there for me throughout this entire pregnancy and supported me every step of the way. I'm also VERY thankful to have a wonderful little surprise awaiting me very soon. She's just waiting to be done growing.

Anyways since I was so serious, here's a FUNNY! :] :

37 Weeks ♥ Full Term!!


I have enjoyed feeling every kick and hiccup. I have loved knowing that I have created a human being and that she is living and growing inside me. It has been such a cool experience. I am also very uncomfortable and bored being on bed rest. I'm ready for the next step of our journey to begin. I can't wait until she is here and I am officially a mommy and Greg is officially a daddy. I'm so excited to meet her.

So this is how mommy and baby are doing:





We have finished setting up her nursery! Check it out!:

Things I still need to do:
- Get the dog groomed
- get a pedicure (it was doctor recommended! :])
- get my car cleaned out and put in car seat
- Take back everything to Babies-R-Us
- make sure hospital bags are fully packed (need to buy toiletries)
- straighten up living/dining rooms including tables
- buy pregnancy scrap book (just in case I don't go into labor, I need something to keep me occupied during bed rest! lol)

I think I'll work on this list tomorrow. Thank you everyone who has been keeping up with my blog. It means a lot. I can't wait until I get to start writing about the next step of this wonderful journey. :)

The full moon is tomorrow. So let's see if she decides to be a statistic and make her grand entrance (or out trance - depending on how you look at it :]) then!
