T-Minus 8 Days!

Come on already baby!! I was pretty sure I would go into labor this weekend, but, alas, was not to be.

So let me tell you why I was thinking this. Wednesday I went in for my appointment and left shortly after. She said he was still at the hospital delivering babies and all the exam rooms were full PLUS there were like 4-5 people in front of me waiting. EHHH, no. So she got me in Thursday morning at 9 thankfully. Fast forward to then! We got in there and less then five minutes later they call me back, woah, that was fast! So I figured I would be waiting in the room for him forever, he came in pretty quick too. I was a little worried about Chloe being with me (she is with the sister in law Mon and the mother in law Tues and Wed, at work with me Thurs) mostly because of the cervix exam, lol. Nobody wants to see that! I tried to explain to her a bit before hand what would go on and she seemed a little confused but ok with it. So when he came in I just had her watch lalaloopsy on my phone over in the chair and she was fine!

So he measured me, said I was measuring a bit small but that I wasn't big anyway. (Oh by the way I rolled over 150, boo, 151 as of Thursday) And heartbeat was good. He asked me if I thought she had flipped yet and I said I wasn't sure but she did feel like she was in a bit of a different position. So he checks my cervix, says that feels pretty hard, I think thats a head! I was like REALLY?! Lol, so then he tells me I'm a good 3 cen dilated and he could stretch me to 4. Heck yeah! I was shocked, being only 1 a week before. So then he goes well just to be sure, lets go check the ultrasound and see if she really is head down. I was all for that! Got my clothes back on and we headed across the hall. I get Chloe settled in another chair and lay back on the table. He starts looking around....and BAM, nope, she is still head up. GAHH!! Earlier in the room while he was washing his hands after examining me he said and I was kind of looking forward to delivering a breech baby. Well looks like he is getting his wish!! -_- Dadgum stubborn baby!

SO! When we first walked into the ultrasound room he was looking at the calendar and saying I could be induced this Tuesday if I wanted, since I would be 39 weeks. But then I would be getting out of the hospital on Thanksgiving, ick. It was tempting! But I said no, I'd rather wait. And after we found out she was breech still he said its better for breech babies to go on their own without help anyway.

Well that was that! I go back again Wednesday unless she decides to make her appearance before hand. As for why I thought she was coming this weekend. Ever since my appointment I started having HUGE gobs of mucousy discharge every single time I went to the bathroom almost. And that is a lot, lol. And I mean a ridiculous amount. Also I had some pains on Saturday that I haven't had before. Apparently we are getting close yes, just not that close. So I'm walking around 4 cen dilated. Fun, lol. She is still pretty high though, I wish she would get out of my ribs!! She will just make them acheeee. No 39 week pic yet, but will try to add one.

In other news! Lee got his shop started! I forgot to take a picture of it this morning, boo, but he has all the posts set and concreted, gravel spread out. Here is a pic of them Sat night before getting the poles set:

Had fun last night with a few friends, which was funny because we were all pregnant, lol, 12 weeks 33 and 38! Which meant a lot of bathroom breaks lol. We went and watched the second hunger games movie, which was AWESOME!! Way, way better then the first.

Thats about all thats going on, until further news, adios!

Hello Week 38!

Here we are in the homestretch! Two more weeks baby!! Officially 15 more days. WOW. I'm so ready, this belly is beyond annoying. Plus I'm getting really low on energy. I spent most of it the last few weeks I think cleaning house and clothes and packing bags! We still haven't painted the nursery, too much other going on, but I'm okay with that. She isn't going to be in there for a while anyway.

I have her bag packed with my nursing pillow and a blanket sitting by the door. And my bag is packed with all that I can do now in our bedroom. I went to walmart and got a ton of little travel size things to put in a toiletry bag so I don't have to drag all our regular stuff there. Plus I can use it again camping, etc. We bought Lee a duffle bag which is also sitting there, with nothing in it, lol, that will have to be a last minute thing, he wears all his clothes all week!  

So the baby shower went well, got my stroller! Its so perty! I installed Shelby's car seat so that is all ready to go. Chloe loves riding in the stroller :). I did still have to buy quite a few things myself, no one really seemed to look at my registries, o well. This saturday we went to babies r us, which is conveniently also the same store as toys r us (they split it down the middle). So I got the baby stuff I couldn't find anywhere else and also knocked out all the kids I have to buy for Christmas! Preston, Dawson, Olivia, and Luke. Yay! I also got Chloe some things as well, I had her walk around with me first and tell me all the stuff she liked and then sent her out with her daddy, lol. She is so easy anyway, she loves all kinds of stuff!

I'm so excited for Christmas this year! Having a newborn and then Chloe being 3 and really into it, is going to be so fun. We will get to pick out our tree all together and everything, its going to be so fun! Family of four! Wow. Doesn't seem real yet, I have a feeling it will take a while even after she is here, lol.

Halloween went good! Here is my little 'puppy':

The tutu came out so good! I never did find the shirt and leggings I wanted, so I used some EIGHTEEN month leggings we had already, lol, and found a shirt that worked okay at walmart. She had so much fun!

And I don't think I ever posted a picture of Shelby's bedding, here it is! Super cute right? And check out my cute diaper bag over there on the door, its a kalencom I got for like 10 bucks. Used of course, but in very good condition. 

So the refinance went through! We got our 9k check in the mail last week. Already spent some of it, lol. $400 of it went in a big pile of rocks Friday:

Yeah, I know, freakin-a! Four hundred dollars for ROCKS! -_- O well, it is what it is! Poor Lee was wanting to start on his shop this weekend but it rained all weekend. Boo. This Saturday he and a buddy of his are going deer hunting (opening weekend for rifle) so not sure if he will start then or not. I'm excited to see it done!

So I keep skipping around but back to baby stuff! 38 weeks tomorrow. I am 149lbs as of last Wednesday, would not doubt if I have rolled over 150 by today, lol. I know I will have by my next appointment Wednesday! I went in and did my ultrasound last week first and of course she said baby is still breech, but all looks good and she is measuring 6lbs 12oz. But I don't hold a whole lot of stock in ultrasound weights, they can be a whole pound off either way! Doctor said I am the perfect patient, never have any isses with blood pressure, protein in urine, didn't gain but 22lbs, never swollen, etc. I was like, well thank you! Haha. I said too bad my baby isn't perfect! ;) He then said I was also the perfect candidate for a breech birth if we have to do one. I've already had a baby vaginally, she wasn't large, and baby is in the 'frank' breech position which is the best one to be in for a breech birth. SO, he said if you are okay with it, I am. I said yeah, lets do it, I would like to avoid a c-section if at all possible! I wonder if I go into labor and still haven't broke my water, if they will try to turn her again. I hope so! I'd much rather have her come out head first!!

So I've been at 1cm both appointments he has checked my cervix, which is really not bad at all, I remember it being worse with Chloe! (which of course its all a bit more stretched out now, lol) I was having braxton hicks contractions a bit two weeks before last, but this last week I haven't, thank goodness. Those were freakin annoying!! She has been changing position a lot in there lately (especially through the movie we watched Saturday night! lol Lee and I went and ate dinner and watched Thor, probably last date night for awhile! Chloe's uncle was so sweet to watch her for us) and I'm hoping she is thinking about getting into birth position soon. Although the best time for her to come really is her due date week, as much as I'd like to see her now! If she comes this week or next it will be thanksgiving week the rest of her life on her birthday off and on since it usually comes the 3rd week of the month, but sometimes, like this year, its the 4th week. But I hate all this waiting!!

No signs of imminent labor though! Next appointment is Wednesday so we will see if I've dilated some more or not, he said I was thick and high last week.

Here is my fat self at 38 weeks!

38 weeks - Shelby

38 weeks - Chloe

So not too far off, lol, although its hard to tell when I'm not holding my hands the same. Well thats about all right now! Just hanging in there! Can't wait to post a picture of my sweet newborn baby!
