38 Weeks ~

Wow, what a weekend. The girls were very tricky. I knew my 2nd baby shower was Saturday, so when Amber asked us to the all you can lobster buffet on friday night, we thought nothing of it as we have talked about going in the past and they actually do have one every so often. Luckily I was dressed up for that cuz when we arrived at Ambers parents house, SURPRISE, all the peeps were there. We were very surprised and very excited. Vicky, Vanessa, Larry and My Dad & Chris were there, I burst into happy tears. The girls (Amber, Eileen & Danielle) threw us such a fun and special zoo themed shower. There were so many little touches that were so much fun. The best part was that everybody was here for the remainder of the weekend.....I was able to spend Saturday with my Dad & Chris and of course partying with the girls (9 months prego) for the rest of the weekend.

Well my son has moved onto my sciatic nerves, which means I can harldly walk. It is quite pleasant(not), actually it is very painful. I now understand why every pregnant women is miserable at the end of her pregnancy. The swollen feet, horrific heartburn, not to mention the waddling(even worse with sciatic pain) and the exhaustion. Thank the lord I am still sleeping ok. As long as I get to sleep by ten, I still get atleast 7.5 - 8 hours a night.

We have finished all of classes and feel we are as ready as we can be. The bags are packed, the nursery is 100% complete and the carseat is correctly installed. The few things that we didn't get at our showers have been ordered and are on there way! We are ready to go...... I am still only 1 centimeter and 50% effaced. Hopefully by my next appt. things will have progressed. Craig and I are so ready to meet our son and I can only hope I will be put out of my misery very very soon! hahahaha:)

37 Weeks and counting

The count down has begun. 3 weeks(hopefully) and counting. At
my doctors appointment today I was 1 centimeter dialated and 50% afaced. Its not much but it lets us know that he is getting ready to come into the world. Unfortunetly with him moving down he has settled on some nerves somewhere and I can hardly walk. I have shooting pains through my pelvis, up and down both legs and in my lower back. UGH. Hopefully as he moves this will subside.

Cody's room is completely done and I am so excited. I love it. We had a little set back with the chair I ordered. I was the wrong color, material and very unfortable, luckily we were able to return it (minus the shipping fee) and I found a perfect one at City furniture. It has been delivered and looks fantastic in his room!

We have our last Lamaze class tomorrow. I have our bags ready and think we are as ready as we can be. I'm still not nervous. Apprehensive maybe. Whatever is going to happen is out of our control. As long as we are informed and know what to expect we will be fine. I told my mom today to have her bags packed just in case she needs to get here early. I have my shower this Saturday down here. I haven't been told anything except the date. I'm very excited to see everybody and spend some quality time with our friends, hopefully my body will cooperate. Please pray for me that our little man moves a bit so his mommy feels better :)

35 Weeks

Amber and Matts Wedding was this past weekend and WOW, it was amazing. We started Thursday evening off with a BBQ and proceeded with all the fun girls activities on Friday ending with the Rehersal Dinner. Saturday was a perfect day 83 degrees with a slight breeze. Other than me looking like a giant aqua Easter Egg with a double chin, it was just fantastic. Amber looked like the Princess Bride and Matt was beaming from ear to ear. Craig had the most amazing speech, nobody could believe how good it was. It nearly brought everyone to tears, including me!


After this weekend, I really feel prego. Up until now, I was doing pretty good. Well not anymore. I'm exhausted, my feet and ankles look like bowling balls and I can hardly walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded. Man, this is rough and I know it's only going to get worse. I know I shouldn't complain since I've had it fairly easy so far, but I feel like a small army.

To date we have attended the Breastfeeding and Baby CPR classes and we satrted our first of 3 Lamaze classes this week. So far we feel the classes have been very informative and we are learning alot. Craig did really good during the Lamaze class even though some of it is not so pleaseant. I still have a nagging feeling I am going to go early but only time will tell. Cody has been kicking the crap out of me and it really really hurts, but I do know that the minute I see him all the aches and pains will seem like nothing compaired the joy he will bring. We are still truely blessed.
