DUE DATE!!

MY DUE DATE!! Wooot! Unfortunately there has been no sign so far today that labour is going to start any time soon. I guess it's normal for first time mom to go past her due date so yeah. Might be a good thing though considering last night was another shitty night of sleeping. I finally did nod off and I think I got more sleep then I did the night before but I still woke up in the wee hours of the morning having to go to the washroom with a stuffy nose and this time a reallllly sore throat :( I was not a happy camper. So of course this whole day I have felt like crap. I feel like my head is full of wool as well. My throat as of now isn't hurting as much as it was this morning but I know in the wee hours of tonight it will be killing me again. It probably didn't help that the fact that I can't breathe out of my nose to well which meant I had to breathe out of my mouth so that made my throat dry and made me thirsty but no matter how much water I drank it didn't quench my thirst. Plus I didn't want to drink too much and I HATE drinking water with a sore throat. It feels to thin or something. So that is a challenge drinking water today :( I hope this goes away fairly quickly since I don't want to give birth to baby, have him/her in my arms and be giving baby my cold :(

ARGHHH!! I did just use the neti pot a moment ago. I hate the feeling of the water going in one nostral and out the other. I couldn't get it to work right this time either and my nose started hurting so I stopped trying. What little did go through did help my nose though. I might try it again later tonight or something. I just have to check how many times you can use it per day. Because of this cold I have added a box of klennex to my hospital bag. Any one want a bloody cold?

I have a feeling I will make it to my next doctor's appointment. Which is friday in the afternoon. Yep. Hopefully if I do he won't wait too long afterwards to bring me to the hospital to be induced. Fun stuff :( I really don't want to be induced. Aunt Jean says friday is when I will have the baby since that is when the new moon is. So we will see. I have had no signs really, the odd pain etc but nothing major. Baby hasn't been a wiggle worm as much today as yesterday, which always freaks me out but I guess really there isn't to much room in there anymore.

OMG I just want this head cold to go away! I was wide awake when Chris left for work this morning but stayed in bed and watched tv. Well I was actually watching tv before the alarm went off because around 6am I just couldn't sleep anymore. That sort of lulled me to semi sleep for awhile. When Chris left I turned it to TLC and didn't really see to much of it. I got up around 10 though. It really wasn't to restful at all :( Hopefully tonight's sleep will be better. ugh.

rambles..

So over the weekend Chris put up the poles and curtains in the baby's room. It is so nice that they are finally up and nice that when we go in there after dark and have to turn on the light that anyone and their uncle can see us since the one wall is all window basically. The curtains look really nice so I am glad that we went with dark brown.

Other then that I am awaiting the first signs of labour! Baby is being stubborn. Tommarrow is my due date and I really hope baby comes then since me and Chris are both born on the 8th day of a month so be cool if baby was as well. But so far there is nothing to indicate that that will happen :(

Last night was the worst sleep ever!! We stayed up until 1 something before crawling into bed but because we were watching Dexter I sort of wanted to watch something else before falling asleep so I wouldn't be dreaming about blood. Chris was reading from the baby book and I was semi nodding off but still trying to stay away to listen to what he was saying. Well then when he turned off the light and tv I was wide awake and by this time it was 3am. So of course I have to get up and go to the washroom. I got back in bed and flipped myself so I was facing Chris. As usual though the next time I woke up, the side of my body was damp with sweat and so was my clothes, but I was freezing. This has been happening for awhile now. Also my throat was sore! I was like NOOOOOO I am about to give birth hopefully soon and I already have to deal with this stupid cyst on my wrist that KILLS most of the time when I am trying to do anything and now a sore throat and a stuffy nose. No matter how hard I blew it before I went to sleep it was stuffed up! Sucky.

So I crawled back in bed after going to the washroom around 6 thinking GREAT! just my luck. I woke up when Chris's alarm went off and my throat wasn't as bad as it was earlier. But the nose is still stuffy so now I have to deal with the whole trying not to gag because some of it is in my throat. UGH!! I could not fall asleep after Chris left either. I was hungery so I got up and ate something then sat down to watch some TLC but then decided I might as well get comfy in the bed and watch it and hopefully fall asleep. I might have nodded off for a few moments here or there but nothing really refreshing. I ended up staying in there until 11:30 then finally got up and made lunch.

Now I just feel completely shitty!! Watch though because I feel like this and won't get to much sleep tonight, I will wake up sometime today with labour pains and be so exhausted for the birth of our baby. lol that is just my luck.

Baby seemed to be really active this morning! Holy!  It's reassuring though. Since a few days ago I was freaking out that baby wasn't moving as much! I just want to get the labour over with but at the same time I'm scared since our lives will be so different after baby is here and thinking about the care I need to give baby once he/she is out is exhausting to think about!

When I was talking to mom yesterday on the phone she said Saturday night at 10pm the phone rang and she thought it was me with news but it was only a telemarketer. (Really a telemarketer calling at 10PM! geez) anyways she was like you better call me first before you post anything on facebook! lol. I was like even if its 3am in the morning? She was like I don't care. Mom is cute :) (I should mention that almost all of our family is an hour away from us).

I'm just nervous about the labour pains and how I will be able to handle all of that! YIKES I guess I will find out soon. I think Chris wants to walk to the mailbox tonight after he gets home. Sometimes walking brings on labour for some people, and also I plan on sitting on the bouncy ball for awhile tonight to see if that helps as well. I really don't want to go overdue and have to get induced or whatever. No fun. Mom said that I was right on time so maybe it will be the same with my kids. So that means baby will be here tommarrow! CRAZyness. I really can't wait to see what colour babies hair is, if she is a girl or if I am totally wrong and she is a boy! How big baby is etc! I just now baby is cute from what we saw when we had our last ultrasound!

BABY HURRY UP WE WANT TO MEET YOU!!

omg this should be an experience! :)

More baby stuff..

Last night after Chris got home and we ate some food we went out looking for something so that we can hang curtains in the baby's room. We first went to what we thought was Home Sense but it turned out to be Home Outfitters lol. They had something that would have worked but the middle section was to short. It was made especially for bay windows. It was like $60 bucks though.

So then we walked next door to JYSK and found two long rods, two elbow connectors, two ends and two sets of brackets for the pole all for probably under ten bucks! Chris measured and marked the poles where he needs to get them cut and brought them to work today to do so! SOOO much cheaper then the other store! We also got a bath mat finally for our bathroom and the main bathroom for cheap as well. I think everything we bought was on sale!

After that we went over to the real Home Sense/Winners to look. I didn't really look around as much as I would like because by this time I was getting really tired and cranky and my back was hurting from standing.. So we walked around pretty quickly then left for home.

We definately need to get better brackets for the windows though. The ones we got are really shallow and don't even come out past the trim so we are going to go to wally world tonight to find some and some curtains for the room. Then we can get the curtains set up. I am happy about this because the house looks almost empty from outside except for maybe a few things that are near the window now and the green, at least to me it does. Since we park our car in the garage it sort of bugs me that it looks that way. It will be better to have curtains in there. I definately want to get that done before baby is here because those windows take up the whole one wall and I am not excited about going in there at night to change baby when anyone and there uncle can see in with the light on. So yep!

I am surprised that I am not as nervous about leaving the house so close to my due date as I thought I would be. I was worried about my water breaking while out mostly but whatever! I just wear my black pants and it it happens, it happens.

Week 39!

Baby belly at 39 weeks!It's so huge!!

I love this next shot :) haha except what is left of my belly button seems to not be in the center of my belly anymore!?! LOL

Doc appointment...

The appointment today sort of sucked! We got there at about 10 to 4 and the office was busy! But then there was like four doctors in that day so it was a mixture of patients. Anyways we sat there for quite awhile, I think it was almost 5 when the receptionist told me that he had to go over to the hospital but he would be back shortly. She said she would have told me sooner but she didn't want to shout that out before since there were lots of people in the room. So that was alright.

About 20 mins later I think he arrived back and they call me and this other girl that was ahead of me and put us into two rooms. The nurse does the prestuff before the doctor comes in and says he will be with us shortly. We can hear him talking with the other patient and then we hear that the receptionist told him they needed him back at the hospital since someone was about to deliver a baby. He seemed to think it would be a fast one. So we were like oh crap :( The receptionist about 5-10 mins later came in to tell us what was going on and say that he hasn't forgotten about you. She said that earlier he was at the hospital then had about 45 mins to see patientes before he had to be back there to help the other doctor out. Then when had came back while we were there he thought he had about 30 mins to see people before he had to go back but that wasn't the case. So she asked us if we were okay to wait, she said he is coming back. I was like yeah we are here. So we waited. Good thing there wasn't a clock in there! lol or I would have gone crazy.

He came back and said sorry about the wait and thanked us for waiting. He said it's been a crazy day, probably the worst he has ever seen. But that's what happens when someone goes on holidays lol. Anyways so he asked all the normal questions, any concerns, any bleeding, unusual swelling etc. I mentioned my cyst and said I wasn't sure if it was prego related or came because my hands have been swollen and sore for the last little bit. (About four weeks ago I woke up with a bump on the side of my wrist that hurt like hell!! I used to get ganglion cyst on the back of my left hand wrist randomly and you can get them on the side of your wrist so that is what I am assuming it is. Seriously last thing I want to deal with while almost due!) He said that near the end and especially in delivery becuase they give you lots of fluids its not unnormal for people to get things like carpal tunnel etc and that usually goes away a few days or a week after birth. He said if it's still bothering me a few weeks after it's probably good to get it checked out. I really hope this is why I have it though due to prego. It was really sore today. He told me to try and take tylenol for the pain. Basically I think he said it's okay to take one a day if I need it.

After that he said he wanted to check my cervix to see if anything was going on. He said that he thinks the cervix is still closed but it seems to be shortened. So at least soemthing is still going on. He said that he would see me in a week and if I make it that far that we would talk about what to do next. He said he won't let me go past a week over due.

So I booked my next appointment for the next friday. I don't know if I do go over a week I could very well be giving birth on the 17th! (The full moon since that is basically a week over due!) The 17th is also St. Patty's Day and V's birthday. I have to say I am getting nervous about delivery. There are a few moments where I am terrified and then others when I am just ready to get it going. Just not knowing when it will start sort of sucks! I can't wait to see baby and see if she is a girl or a boy!! We didn't get out of there till 15 after 6! It was a long wait! Next week should be back to normal though.

Mom called to see how I made out. Unfortunately I really had nothing to report other then the fact that I wasn't dilated and my cervix had shortened. I think she is also getting anxious. lol. Don't blame here hehe I'm sure lots of people are waiting patiently:) including me and Chris. So basically less then two weeks!! Yikes!!

Doc appointment..

Today I got showered and got ready and tried calling the doc office at 12:30 to see if he was going to be in but got a busy signal. So I was just going to wait for five minutes and try again, but two minutes later the phone rang. It was the doctor's office, she was calling to say that he wasn't going to make it in today and that she needed to reschedule me for tommarrow but it was going to be like at 4 or something. Which was fine.

Mom called around 8:30 or so to see how I made out lol which of course I had nothing to tell her since I hadn't gone. I told her what happened and that I had to go in tommarrow. She told me that Jeremy said I will have the baby on the 5th since that is his birthday lol and my Aunt was saying that the full moon was on the 17th so I will have it then! Mom was like I don't think she will want to go that long! LOL NOPE! hehe :)

Doc Appointment...

Today I had my doctor appointment with the other doc since mine was on holidays. It was nice to meet him. He is quite chatty/joky, I found it a bit awkward but okay. It was the same old same old really. The nurse checked my urine, my blood pressure and my weight. He measured my belly and listened to the heart beat and checked to see if baby was head down. He asked if baby was moving and said that if I was ever worried to do the whole 6 movements in 2 hour thing and if it's less then that to go to the hospital for a stress test. Seriously I am always worried about this and constantly think baby is not moving as much as before. But so far everytime I do the test baby moves more then 6 times. So yeah. I've been worried about that for along time and everytime baby's heart beat is the same so must be okay.

He said that the heart rate when he was checking went up to 140-150's and that is a sign of a good strong healthy fetus. So that made me feel better, although I am still worried about baby movements. I think mostly that we are so close I don't want anything to happen! He also checked my cervix since I am now over 38 weeks. That wasn't comfortable. It is not dilated at all but he said that it is soft so that is good. So something is happening. He was pretty confident that I would make it to my next appointment with my doc and like he said you won't be giving birth out in the parking lot. lol. So it was a short check up as usual :)

So I made my appointment for next week and the only day she had was monday! She said it's because my doc and the one I seen today have to cover at the hospital for another doctor who is going on holidays next week so they lost tues and wed for appointments. She told me though at around 12pm or so to give her a call to make sure he is going to be in since he is going to be at the hospital in the morning. My appointment for was 1:45 or so. It's so weird that it's so soon after this one and this one was weird enough considering it felt like friday and it's only thrus. All my other appointments have been fridays!
