Happy Halloween!

Well today is the last day of October and of course I still have not gone into labor. Thought I might be last night but the contractions went away :o( Oh well. I did tell Andy that with my luck I would go into labor tonight when we needed to pick mom up from the airport tomorrow and would have to scramble to get her here...Guess we will see since I will be doing a lot of walking tonight. I can at least hope if not labor the walking will help dialate me and when the Dr. checks me tomorrow I will be far enough along that stripping my membranes will work. Guess we will see.....

In other news, I am working on getting the house cleaned up today so Andy wont have so much to do tomorrow morning while I am at my Dr. apt.  So far the upstairs is cleaned up besides the dishes which I will finish after this since I am being lazy.....Andy has to do the downstairs since thats his domain and I cant pack the vacuum up and down the stairs. I just hope he actually does a good job, usually he just does enough to make it look ok and then I am the one who has to do the rest. I will be super pissed if he trys that this time since I dont want my mom coming over here to clean the whole time.

Today should be pretty fun, well this evening anyways....Andy is getting off early hopefully and then we are going to take Riley out with some friends. She is going as a cat. I have to try and figure out how to put the makup on her, we did a trial run last night and she wouldnt hold still enough for me to get the whiskers on her. She kept moving or laughing and it would make the whiskers all scribbly. I have a better idea for the make up tonight we will see how I do.....

Well I guess I should run, I am just super bored like usuall. I know I have a ton of crap to get done still but I dont want to do any of it....I am really looking foward to tomorrow and hopefully getting this kid outta me! Keep your fingers crossed for me and I will keep you updates :o)

Happy Halloween!!

10 days to go!

Well I know I promised more updates but really nothing has happened for me to update on and I didnt want to take the time to write nothing. Anyways, I will update everything that has gone on in the last few weeks right now :o)

Nothing major has gone on but I did have to make a trip into Labor and Delivery last Wednesday because of a fever. I didnt feel sick at all, but I was really tired and took a little nap and when I woke up I felt cold but hot and took my temp which resulted in a 103.7 fever. I called my dr. who advised me to take some Tylenol and see if the fever would go away, and if it did then no worries, if not to come in. Well of course it didnt so I had to go in and that sucked! The bed was soooo uncomfortable I thought I would die. I also was having pretty hard contractions that were anywhere from 2-7 min apart and they were pretty painful. The nurse ended up checking on me to see if I was making any progress into labor and of course I was not. I was 50% effaced but not quite dialted to a 1 even! I was pretty upset since I had been having hard contractions for the last couple of weeks....I ended up staying in the hospital over night and it was excruciating for me because of the bed, it made my back and hips hurt terribly. The figured out I had a kidney infection and gave me a ton of fluids and then the IV antibiotics, I have been fine since the stay so evidently it worked.

I also went to my dr. apt on Monday and the dr. was supposed to check me again for dialation but he did not. He did say he would this next Monday and if I was dialted to at least a 1 he would strip my membranes then. I am just praying that when he checks I will be a 3 or 4 and the stripping will send me into labor. I am totaly ready for this kid to be out! She is way to big to be sitting in there hanging out.

My mom is also coming in Monday afternoon and we have to go pick her up from the airport. She is supposed to stay for 2 weeks, so I am really praying I go into labor before the time she has to leave. She said she can stay longer but I dont know how that will go.

We are all ready for Dylan to get here though, everything is set up for her. I still have to finish packing my hospital bag, its pretty much done but I still have a couple of things to stuff in there. I am really procrastinating on doing it though, I guess its because I figure I will have plenty of time even if I go into labor.

I guess the biggest thing that happened the last couple of weeks was Andy having to get a new car. It really sucked because we had just paid his Eclipse off. I am talking 2 days after the check was cashed his clutch went out. I was really mad at him because he not only is super hard on his cars and I told him if he kept shifting so hard he was going to burn his clutch out and he wouldnt listen but because he ruined his credit again because he is friggin lazy so he couldnt get a loan for another car. I guess it turned out for the best that he couldnt get a loan because we really cant afford another payment at this time. It all worked out in the end and he ended up being able to trade his car straight across for a PT Cruiser. Its not the most ideal car but it is roomy and looks nice. It all checked out at the shop so we should be able to keep it for awhile with no major problems. Plus its an automatic and gutless so Andy cant hot rod it around town and it gets good gas mileage.

Well thats about all that has been going on. Now I just sit around waiting to go into labor. I will let ya know when that happens.

The Crud

Well it seems that I have gotten the crud that is going around :o( I had thought it was just allergies but now I think it is the nasty stuff that has been going around the town. No idea how I managed to get it since I am never out and about but I did get it. So for the last 3 days I have been a combination of snotty, stuffy, sore throat, coughing, pants peeing, gagging, puking ball of fun. It really sucks being pregnant, sick, and then having to take care of a 4 year old and a house. My house was terrible yesterday and all I could do was lay in bed. Andy had to come home from work and clean the house for me. so this morning I got up to a wonderfully clean house. I am feeling a bit better thanks to some rest and the Netty Pot but I am clearly not 100% and I am just praying I feel better soon, like tomorrow. Anyways...I figured since its been a week I should update you on my dr. apt. last was last Monday, especially since I will have more news tomorrow.

So my dr. seems pretty nice despite the bad word I had heard about him from a lady who bought a stroller from me. He did a full exam and said everything was fine as he could tell. He measured me and said that I was measuring small and he didnt think this baby would be as big as Riley, which I am not totaly upset about since she was almost 8lbs! When I asked him if that was a problem he said it wasnt because everyone grows differently and that I had not really gained any weight and that everything measured after 25 weeks was just an estimate anyways. It freaked me out a bit since he marked on my ultrasound ticket that I needed the ultrasound because I was measuring small for my dates, but Jill calmed me down and said it was like he said and just a guess. Not to mention that is the first reason given on the ticket for the apt so he probably just marked that option in a hurry. Anyways, my u/s is tomorrow at 11:45, Andy actually gets to go this time and so will Riley. I am really excited about it! I am a bit worried they will tell us its a boy though now that we have all the girly stuff bought and ready. I will be a bit sad if its a boy as well since I am really excited to have another girl now...Ultimatly we just want healthy, so as long as he/she is healthy I will be happy. I just cant wait to see our little sweety, its been so long and I didnt really get a good look at her the last time since I was so sick, and Andy never got to see her so I hope its special for him as well. I know Riley will really be happy to see the baby moving around as well. I have another dr. apt next week on Monday and after that I will have to come in every week until I deliver. I am hoping she decides to come earlier than later though. I am ready to be not pregnant and to hold my sweet little baby. I still have a lot to do though before she gets here, after tomorrow and we are sure its a girl I have a ton of clothes and bedding to wash and then I need to order my swing and get everything in the nursery organized. Its kinda scary to think I only have 5 weeks left! Time has sure flown by with this pregnancy, it seems like I just found out I was pregnant. Well I am going to get off of here now, I am pretty much out of energy again and I still need to make something for Andy to eat for dinner, he should be home any minute now. I will update you tomorrow, and I am sure I will have some new "money shot" photos of our baby to share as well.
