Update:
I went to the doctor yesterday thinking I wouldn't have changed much since I haven't been having as many contractions as the week before, just some pressure. Well, I was shocked when the Doctor said Wow! You're at 3 cm and 70% thinned out! Seeing that I still have three weeks until my due date, this is moving on along. WoooHOO!
Okay, so I know my last post I was feeling a little pulled in both directions....ready to have baby.....not ready to be done being pregnant. Well, over the weekend when I realized I could not reach my foot to put my stinkin' sock on I was DONE!! Not to mention when the contractions start they are very uncomfortable. Whine..........yes that is me and not my 3 year old! The end of this week would be good to have a baby. But this is my plan not God's. He will deliver this baby when it's His perfect time and when baby is healthy. In the meantime, I guess I get to take every day one day at a time. Wednesday I go to the doctor again, please pray we have made more progress. A little every week would be nice so I don't have to walk the halls at the hospital for hours.
Right now I have no ankles!!!!! My toes feel like at any minute they are going to pop like a champagne cork! Although, they are nicely painted and even have flower decals. My non-pregnant shoe size is normally a 5 1/2-6. I'm struggling to wear flip flops! Now, I know some people hate feet but they really don't bother me. Call it partly gross, partly boredom.
Enjoy!
Yesterday was THE doctor appointment. I have to admit I was a little nervous......about the exam and what he might say. At this point I'm so excited to meet our new baby boy but on the other hand I love being pregnant and know how quickly it's over. I wanted him to say 'anyday now', but then I want him to be 'on the inside' for as long as I can take it, to enjoy it. I am ready to be able to bend over and tie my shoes, walk up a flight of stairs without gettng winded but it all goes away after delivery. And lets face it......taking care of baby is much easier when they are in the belly!!
And the verdict was............. 50% effaced and 1 CM dilated!!! He said, 'if your water breaks give us a call'. I thought WOW! Wait a minute, already? I'm excited and noticing every contraction thinking ooohhhh is this it? Of course, next week we'll see if any progression has been made!
Wendy's first cheerleading game was this past Saturday. I know, I know, it's a football game but honestly we don't have a boy playing football yet, so to me the football aspect doesn't exist. It's just my little girl showing us her team spirit! Isn't she just the cutest?! I love it! I used to be a cheerleader so for my girl to be one just makes me smile! :)
Wendy and I made home made chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies! Yum! I'll post the recipe later!
Have a great night!
Here are some more maternity pictures.....I tried to upload some lastnight but my internet or computer was acting silly (well I was thinking another term)!
I have a lovely friend Happy Mommy who takes wonderful pictures. I asked if she would take some maternity photos of me and some family ones as well.....she said yes. Only she didn't know I was going to change clothes 4 times and we were going to spend 5 hours and over 200 photos during the event!
Here are some of my favorites....
After a couple of days of rain we had new landscaping.......lots and lots of mushrooms. Wendy couldn't get out quick enough to stomp 'em! I looked out our kitchen window and saw she had even put on her stompin' boots! I couldn't resist.
Yes, that's a nasty green mushroom smushed under her little foot! I just wish she would clean her room with such enthusiasm.
