Apparently the little man has absolutely no desire to get out of me.  I am still just 1.5 centimeters dilated, with the baby’s head floating in the ever growing abyss of my stomach cavity.  The doctor said we need to make a decision…  Here were my choices: Wait it out another week, where the little man will be almost 10 lbs. headover to the hospital and induce right now pick a day for a scheduled c-section pick a day for a scheduled induction Yeah, here is the … [Read more...]

I think the baby may have dropped, but who knows.  I don’t anymore. I didn’t sleep well last night, mom said that I should have woke up John so that he could be miserable too.  I didn’t see the need really.  I got up and went to the couch. Lets hope he comes today. … [Read more...]

There is so much to talk about! First, the appointment on Friday gave us very good news.  My little man is not 9.5 lbs, he is only 7 lbs 14 oz.  That means if he comes on his due date, he will be under 9 lbs.  Thank god.  I mean really, I’m just not thinking I can push out an almost 10 lb baby.  The doctor says that my boy is acting like a fat baby.  He is very high, although his head has been down for a month now.  However, he is not engaged.  He … [Read more...]

It’s weird today.  I don’t feel well, but I can’t really put my finger on it.  John really didn’t want to leave this morning, and both animals are following me around.  Maybe they know something I don’t. Fridays appointment had me one centimeter dilated, but a floating baby head and tilted cervix.  What does that mean?  The doctor doesn’t think it will be this week.  However, he did say that we are looking at a 9.5 pound … [Read more...]

I found this on Jenny’s site, and I think it is a great idea!  So, I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week (with the baby on the way, I can almost guess it won’t happen that quick), but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by … [Read more...]

I swear to god, I have breasts again!  Definition between breasts and baby!  It’s absolutely weird!  The baby started dropping on Monday…  But this morning, it’s totally obvious.  Ok, well to me and my mom.  Not to John.  He has made a mental note, but he still doesn’t see it.  I think it’s great that I don’t look so much like a big blob in the front again. I’m utterly tired.  Just getting ready in the … [Read more...]

This weekend I had my first shower.  I was surprised how much fun I had…  I got so many nice presents, it’s just absolutely insane!  Both Anne and Andrea have been pumping me up with lots of baby leftovers including clothes, toys, swings, etc.  I feel so lucky to have friends who want to share their used stuff!  I’ll try and take pictures (not too many were taken at the shower) of what the baby received.  Really, I’m overwhelmed. I thought … [Read more...]

So, the past month has been interesting to say the least.  I’ll talk about them in order of how I remember… My dad had a successful surgery to remove the cancer in his stomach, bowels, pancreas, etc.  I’ve not seen much of him.  I went to the hospital a twice, but I’ve not visited him since he got out.  As much as the relationship between my step-family is supposed to be on the “mend,” I just don’t see it.  I feel like an … [Read more...]
