39 weeks - 8 days or bust!!

39 weeks now!!!!! We will be meeting our Baby Girl is 8 days or bust!! We had our weekly Dr. apptointment last Friday where he checked me for dilation. I was 1/2 thinned out, no dilation. We agreed if I haven't gone into labor naturally by Monday Nov. 5th then I will be induced. That being said since my appointment not much progress has happen (well that I know of). I feel like I am at a standstill. But, who knows labor could be around the corner! :)
My Mom came into town Friday night! I am relieved that she is here so I can go into labor anytime. However, my best friend Shannon is down and out with a cold and stomach flu! Double whammy!!! PRAYING she gets better so she can be here to witness Baby Girl being born! Everyone seems to be on high alert, lol.

My chair came in Friday. So her room is now complete and waiting! :)

We are getting excited to meet her and anxious to get here.

Pregnancy wise I am over it! I am not sleeping to save my life which yes, is making me slightly cranky and probably not that fun to be around. I can't wait for her to get here so my quality of sleep is a little better! :) Well, this could be my last post being pregnant! So, I will keep you all posted! Until then, xoxo!

38 weeks!

I am 38 weeks now as of Sunday! I sure am feeling it! I feel HUGE (although most may say I am "tiny"), I am not sleeping at all and have no energy! Everything is pretty much in order for her arrival when she chooses to come is completely up to her. :)

Over the weekend we finished up loose ends with her nursery, stocked up on groceries, and went to a couple pumpkin patches! We just spent is enjoying being the three of us. It is so bittersweet to me. I hope that Ethan handles the arrival of his baby sister well. I'm so excited that fall is here. It is my favorite season! I love the cool air and colors of the trees. I love being able to bake and serve soup for dinner. Most of all I love the Warmth and Love that the holiday season brings. It make is happy! This year we will be blessed with a little fall baby which makes it even more special! :)

I've been working on Ethan's Halloween costume. He is going to be Woody from Toy Story. Anthony and I's costumes aren't as elaborate. I am going to be a ghost and Anthony a pumpkin. We didn't feel like investing a lot in case we are in the hospital or at home with a newborn! :)

Her Nursery is pretty much complete. We need a couple finishing touches that we can get here and there. My Mommy chair is order and suppose to be here any day now, hoping is arrives before she does! :)

Pregnancy wise things are going good! I am having NO LABOR SIGNS! I have been having more and more braxton hicks but they are not progressing or painful. We had out Doctors appointment last Friday. Went over when is a good time to head to the hospital if i am contracting. He will be checking me for dilation this coming Friday. If I am he may want to induce me. He is leaving out of town Nov. 1-3. I really want my own Doctor to deliver her. He is the one that has been through this whole thing with us, he knows my birth plan and he delivered Ethan. Its a decision we will have to make come Friday if that is in fact the situation. If not we wait more! These next 2 weeks are going to be the longest two weeks ever! I will keep everyone posted as to what is happening! I just ask one thing! Please keep in mind I am 38 weeks pregnant and a tad sensitive at this point! :) LOL!

Well I hope that everyone is enjoying their week! Until next time... xoxox!

37 weeks - full term!

Hello 37 weeks! Full term is here! Can you believe it?! I sure as heck can't! We had a doctors appointment on Friday! All is looking well she is, in fact a she! Anthony needed a double check since everything, and i mean EVERYTHING is pink! :) She is also head down. Pretty crammed but content for the time being! I doesn't look there will be any concern as of now about her fluid or anything. So she can make her appearance whenever she wants (hoping it's not when my Doctor is on vacation)!

We installed the car seat in perpetration for her arrival. I am packing our bags also. It's exciting to think she will be here in just a short amount of time!! My diaper bag that was ordered a couple weeks ago is finally shipped and due to arrive on Monday (YAY!)!!! Last thing up to bat is the arrival of my Mommy chair for her room! I can't wait to see everything come together! :)

Pregnancy wise things are great. I am feeling as huge as a house. Also to the point of being "over it"! I like to think I handle pregnancy well but these last few weeks are just plain tiring! I think having a newborn I will feel more rested than the "uncomfortable, can't find a good position, kicking and jabbing plus peeing 4 times a night" sleep I am getting now! :) But all in good time!

We received the first round of maternity picture from Rachel this week ago! They turned out AMAZING!!!!! I can't thank her enough! <3

Until next week, xoxo!!!

36 weeks!

OMG I am 36 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! 4 more weeks to go! We have kicked things into high gear to prepare for little Miss's arrival! I am feeling scared, nervous and excited! Scared and Nervous of actual labor and delivery. I know, I know I've been through this once already. I think that actually makes matters worse. I know what to expect this time. Although Ethan's L&D wasn't bad it was still intense. Also then I didn't have another little one to think about. I am getting nervous of having two, how Ethan will react to his baby sister, how Anthony and I will handle juggling two. There is tons going through my mind. But, I know once I hold my baby girl in my arms all the worries will be gone. I can't wait!

Over the weekend Anthony and I installed the chandelier into her room. We also found a side table to go next to my Mommy chair. I have completed various projects also. The list is getting shorter (thank God)! This weekend we tackle Big Brothers room. He is getting paint and finally stuff on his walls! :)

Pregnancy wise I am feeling good. My energy meter isn't to full capacity lately. I am feeling HUGE which makes it uncomfortable to sleep! But, I am truckling a long! :) This week we start our weekly appointments. I believe this week we get an ultrasound to make sure she is sitting right. I am excited!!!! :) Until then, xoxo!

36 weeks! 4 more to go!

Ethan wanted to join in! :)
