We put up our Christmas decorations today. :)
Here's some pictures, ENJOY!:
We have a yearly tradition of watching ELF as we put up our decorations. Usually as soon as we get them down, Hubby falls asleep on the couch. This year my father-in-law came over and helped get them down and then Hubby actually helped put the ornaments on the tree! :) He did fall asleep at the end but it was almost midnight and he been at work all day. I'm so proud of him. :) The problem is taking them down and putting them away, and we'll have our Sweet Pea this year. But I don't want to think about taking them down, I love our house the best at Christmas time. I didn't do two trees this year (one little and one big). But we are still very festive! :D
In other news: I called Ashley Stewart. They were the last account still pending of that whole stolen identity thing. Hopefully that means it's over and they catch the woman who did it.
Tuesday I have a meeting about the whole life insurance deal. I'm hoping this will finally be over and we can move on.
Wednesday is my 39 week OB appointment. Hopefully they will have some news on when the end is in sight. I'm 38 weeks and 5 days along today and VERY uncomfortable. Tuesday I'm starting my list of the 'Get Baby Out' Plan. Hopefully something works to get her here. :)
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. :)
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!
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!
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! :] :
