The End

well as you can see on my baby widget I have "0" days left! Today is Baron's due date and nothing is happening!!!! I have only had Braxton-Hicks today. Dee and I walked twice yesterday and I took a nice warm bath.....nothing!
This boy is so stubborn! I am still trying to keep active and positive as much as possible in hopes that he comes before my appointment. Dee is very anxious too. He asked me if I wanted to get into his truck and go for a ride down some bumpy roads.....I said no. That actually hurts! Well, it looks like we will have an August baby unless some miracle happens tonight.
I feel like he has dropped a little more though....but it might be my imagination.

3 days left

Ok......so i only have 3 days left until Baron's due date.
I have had nausea for the past two days off and on and some cramping.....more ligament pain. The PUPPPs or whatever it is, is slowly going away and I finally got some good rest. Dee went back to work today which stinks....
I can feel more appendages of Baron....he is soooo cramped, I have no idea how he even moves the way he does.
will keep this updated as much !

Waiting........

Just sitting here on the couch with Sabrina wondering when i will spontaneously give birth....
Dee went to the store to get a few things for dinner tonight.....
Still haven't had any signs of labor and I have 7 DAYS LEFT!!!! If he comes later that is fine with me.....just no induction, please!
All this added weight is killing my back and hips; I just want some relief....
I sound so selfish, right??!!!

Sabrina

I was laying on Dee's lap on the couch and Sabrina comes up and paws at my arm to see if she could join us....
well, i just got finished cleaning off the couch since her hair tends to plague the house...
After telling her "no" several times, I gave into her and she knows I have trouble picking her up so she stood up on her hind legs and even pushed them up giving me some help. Usually, she goes straight to Dee to give him kisses, but she went straight for my belly and perched. Dee said that she loved me too much....
Anyway, she started rubbing her head all over the belly and then started licking my shirt!!! This is the first time she has done this! Baron reacted big time!!! It was the weirdest feeling; I can't explain it! Dee got out his phone and got a small video of her doing it....
Surely she knows something is going on.... I mean, she loves to cuddle with my belly and doesn't seem to mind Baron kicking her all the time, but the licking throws me off!!! What does that mean??!!! I was telling Grandma that she feels like she NEEDS to be around me constantly. Is this another sign that I am getting close?

Raspberry Tea

Just finished drinking two cups of raspberry tea!
Kitchen is pretty clean and we plugged in the video camera......
I made sure everything is in my bag; Baron's bag is in the car......

I guess we will see what happens!

Forgot to mention...

Baron has the hiccups!!! Errr.....they have been lasting a little while now. Probably the taquitos i ate at the Tulia Rodeo....

i forgot to mention to yall that i told the nurse that it felt like Baron was hanging out in the birth canal....
She said that it was his head causing pressure and it means i am getting closer.....
i bet they think I'm pretty weird asking all these questions and how i explain things!!

Also, Dee SAW Baron's foot....but we didnt have a camera. Plus, he doesnt sit still long enough. Dee says, "That looks uncomfortable"! He has no idea...... :)

Sunday

Hey Ya'll!

I just got finished looking at Andrea's preggie pics and I just can't believe that we are about to have two little ones soon!
I was telling grandma that it feels like Baron is in the birth canal already...OUCH! Ligament strain is killing me....
I have noticed a pattern that i can't do anything all morning b/c of pain and literally can't walk....it's more like a shuffle. So, i put myself on bedrest in the mornings and after 7pm. The gap in between seems to be the only time i can actually be normal. So, today I made up a Healthy Waffle Mix and a Healthy Pancake Mix! Storing them in the freezer makes it last for 6 months! I am going to be craving waffles with fruit topping after my sweet baby is born. I LOVE WAFFLES! Yummmmm!
Today is Dee's Friday and then he has 4 days off (yay!) We have a lot of stuff to get done cause I have a feeling that Baron will be arriving this week.....
Oh....and everyone clap their hands....finally got a few stretch marks. :( Can't you tell how happy i am?!

Weekly Appointment

Had my first weekly appt. today and as I was driving there I had a contraction...only lasted one minute though :)
The doc didn't check my cervix today; giving me a break since i was having contractions. He said that Baron is about 5lbs now and still very healthy and strong. He gave me my medical records just in case I were to go into labor from now until my next appt. which is next wednesday.
I asked him about taking the placenta home and that caught him off guard a little :)
He said not very many patients ask to take it home.......so then, i felt weird. Oh well!

That is it so far.......
I guess more next week unless something happens..... :)

Happy Feet!

I can feel Baron's feet!! They are about 3.5-4in in length!!! I mostly feel his heel.....so little! He is going to have his daddy's feet FOR SURE!
I have only 27 days to go!

Maternity Ward and our Pedi!

Today was soooo LONG!!! OMG! My little piggies are swollen!
We had an appointment with a nurse at the maternity ward to take a tour. I'm glad that i made that appointment cause like with any hospital, it's a maze. The hospital is REALLY nice and spacious. I saw a delivery room and i just kinda pictured myself on the bed doing a "spread-eagle" and that just put things in perspective; sinking in how close we are getting to labor. ugh...scary! After delivery, they take that bed away and a murphy bed comes down for Dee and I to sleep in! Awww! The nurse said that I can only have one other person in there with me..so of course i told them Dee. Then she gave me this packet on breastfeeding and stuff!
We then had an appt. with our Pedi and Dee and I both really like her! I loved that she said for emergency situations, she makes appt.s for that same day and she doesn't charge for any calls. She was just very informative and answered all of our questions. They also have 2 seperate waiting rooms: sick kids and well kids! Loved that!
We also went grocery shopping, went to target to get Baron's curtains, got ice cream, and went to hobby lobby....phew!
so, today was good and I can say that I am truly ready now and not as scared.
