The Last One!

Here's the very last belly shot of little girl. I'm 39 weeks, well I will be tomorrow but I am going to be INDUCED on THURSDAY!!! Yuppers, that means that I have only 2 more days of waddling left!
My Doc decided that with my BP still high in office (in fact it was so high today she almost wanted to take me today!) and since Little Girl is looking amazing and ready for life we'll just end the pregnancy before something bad can happen. So that's the big news!

I also had my last ultrasound (since I've been having them every other week for the past 3 months) today and we have never been able to see her face until today! she finally gave us a peek. But I'm going to make ya'll wait until she's born to add suspense. (actually it's mostly because I'm too lazy to scan in the Ultrasound pic)

I guess that means that I should probably finish packing, put the car seat in the car, and oh yeah, maybe pick out a name.

Wish us luck!!!

It's a Watermelon!

Well freinds, I'm 37 weeks today!!

AKA officially full term

AKA one week to the day before I had Conner

AKA I could go at any time! And it might mean nothing at all but today I got and followed the urge to clean all my bathrooms, vacuum all my floors and re-organize my closet. Nesting anyone?? just sayin...

So I feel like I'm pretty much ready for this little girl to make her appearance. (well I'm ready in the stuff aspect. I'm not so sure anybody is really ready to push a baby out.) But I have to keep her in until at least the 15th (saturday) because it is THE FINAL tax deadline and I absoutley positutely refuse to have another tax season birthday in this family. 3 more days then I don't chare when the heck she comes. I had a Dr apointment on Monday which ended in a cry fest (don't worry, everything is fine, I'm just a pregnant basket case) My BP was a tiny bit high at the first of my apt (although it's been purrrrfect at home) so my dr had them check it again after my apt and it was a little higher. Dang it! The nurse went and talked to Doc and she said to have me sit in the exam room for 10 min and then try again and if it was still high I'd need to go to the hospital to be checked out. Well I'm not sure that Doc wanted to nurse to tell me that last part because that's not what you tell someone who needs to stay calm. But she told me and shut me in a room all by myself for 10 min. and what else was I supposed to do but cry? I mean honestly! I thought I had done a really good job of not super crying and maybe the nurse wouldn't notice (ha!) But she came in and said "oh no! No crying!" I'm sure that she was just trying to be nice but that's the second thing you don't do because when you acknowledge that someone has been crying it just makes it worse. And I didn't even need to go to nurse school to learn that! So after she said that I lost it. And then silly nurse still took my blood pressure even though it was bound to be sooooo high because of my cryfest. and it was. It was like 158/103. (remember, 140/90 is when they worry) She asked if I wanted a few minutes to calm down and check again before sending me to the hospital. Well duh. YES I wanted to try again! She forgot to close the door and since the flood gates had been opened instead of calming down I just got worse. My doc walked by and came in just as the nurse was coming back. Doc said "I can't check her BP now! There's no way it will be right!" So she told me that she didn't think that it was PE and that I should go home and relax and check at home and let her know if it creeps up again.  Wow that was a really long story! and probably kind of boring. sorry! I don't even know if I meant to tell the whole thing but since I spent so much time typing it we'll just leave it.

But good news, I had an ultrasound and she is approx. the weight that Conner was when he was born! (5lb 10oz) which is still small but not 2 weeks behind like she has been measuring!

And that's the news! and here are some pics!

The lineup. Click on me to see me bigger! Oh, and you can also see how much someone's hair can grow in the duration of a pregnancy because, don't think I'm gross, but I haven't cut it the whole time (not on purpose, it just never happened)

The nursery is almost pretty much done! yay!

pretty pretty DI frames for $.50 each!

Tada! After! The middle one is a DI frame too but I didn't get a before. I splurged and spent a dollar on it. Someday there will be cute pics in them!

Another project. $.97 walmart wooden frames modge podged with cute paper and hooked together with ribbon.

and closer

And all of little girls cute cute clothes! squeal! So excited:)

To Miss...and NOT to Miss...There is No Question

As this pregnancy is winding down (27 days and counting!) it's got me thinking about all the the things that I'm SO excited to have disappear when I'm DONE.

I will NOT miss
Back aches. I didn't have it much with Conner, but with this one I've had crazy terrible sciatic nerve pain. So bad that for the last little while there have been a few times a week I've literally had to crawl around because I couldn't stand up straight (which in turn made Conner think crawling was a new game. Silly boy)

Heartburn. Rusty says I eat tums like a crack addict. and it's probably true. I've been through I think 5 bottles this pregnancy and I just bought another one!

The difficulty that is shaving my legs. I think I'm to the point where I can get from my ankle to my knee...and that's it. I would forget it all together but I hate the pokey pokey.

Having to sleep with 5 pillows strategically arranged all around me so I can sleep at all...at least until...

Peeing 8 times in the middle of the night. I swear this little girl is just sitting on my bladder and at any given moment she can kick it and, well, when you gotta go you gotta go.

Being so tired all the time...we'll that might not change but the reason will! I've been reading a book for the past 2 months and it's not a bad dumb boring book at all! I just can't get through it because I keep falling asleep!

This new tingling in my hands that has developed the last few days. It constantly feels like my hands are in that pins and needle stage after they are just waking up. They say it's pretty normal in pregnancy but I just find it pretty annoying.

Checking my blood pressure every stinkin day. Good thing C's here to remind me. He'll see the monitor and say "mommy check pepper?" haha. so cute.

The broken blood vessels all over my face. Thank goodness for my cover girl!

Trying to come up with a name. ugggggg! I so don't make decisions. I can't even decide on what to eat at a new restaurant in a timely manner, let alone what to name another human being! It's kind of a big deal!


And I'm sure there's a whole slue of other things that I just can't think of right now.
But on the bright side so ya'll don't think I'm a negative Nelly and hate being pregnant (because I really don't) here are the things that I'll be sad to see go

I will miss
Feeling little girl move around. There really is nothing more amazing than feeling a baby move inside of you...except of course when she's bouncing on my bladder.

My pretty pretty skin. I don't think my face has ever been this clear in my life! Total difference from C's pregnancy where I looked like an 8th grader who was in desperate need of some soap.

My bump. I really do think it's kinda cute.

Maternity clothes. Not necessarily the one's that I have because I'm down to 1 1/2 non-sweat pants (the half being ones I can wear for half of the day and then I'm done) and a handful of shirts and I'm kind of tired of the same thing, but over all they're pretty darn comfy.

Conner randomly saying "baby coming!" It's so cute to see him maybe understand... even though I still don't think he knows what it means.


That's kind of sad that the con list outweighs the pro one. Oh well. I'll blame it on the fact that I'm down to the last month when all of the cons come out. I decided that it's natures way of making actually having the baby more appealing than staying pregnant. But overall this really has been a wonderful pregnancy and I have loved most minutes of it!!
