Just a little longer!

This lil girl needs to stay put just a little longer! Only 10 days to get her to 37 weeks. We had what I would call, a close call. I was having HORRIBLE back and stomach pains all day today and contactions too. I called the doc when I got home and they had me time the contractions. They were around 7-10 minutes apart, and I think they were mostly "real" cause my back hurt during them. Brad was so cute, he called me on his way home and asked how I was feeling and I told him the contrax were about 7-10 minutes apart (meaning sporatic, not regular) and he goes "That means your in labor right?!!?" I was like "No... not really yet... they are too irregular still." Anyway... she FOR SURE needs to stay put until the 6th, since my parents are enjoying their youth in Cancun. They need to be IN TOWN for their first grandbabies arrival... I keep telling her just to stay put until then. Lets hope she listens and won't spend her first few hours in time out! (kidding, she'll be too cute for time out!)

A newborn's conversation with God

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.''

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said, "You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"

I"ve hit the wall.

Someone told my dad yesterday that I look ready to have this baby. My dad replied "Yeah, I think she hit the wall this week." Could not be closer to the truth. I am so ready to have this baby! I've gotten the point that while I still love having her in me and feeling her move, I really really just want to hold her. I feel so wretched "complaining" about being pregnant, but I can't help it! Anyway...
We had our 35(!!!!) week apointment on Friday and she is doing beautifully. The doc said that they were worried about my blood pressure at the last appointment (130/90) but didn't want to tell me... and it was back down to 110/70 this week! Yay! And when the doc looked at my belly he said that if I don't have signs of streach marks at this point, I am out of the woods for getting them and most likely won't have them with the next pregnancy! Sweet! I also had my first exam... and her head is right where it needs to be with no dialiation at this point.
We had two showers this past weekend, one with Calvary and the other with family and friends. I am so grateful for the love people have shown this little girl already! She is so spoiled!
Well, I am off to clean... wish me luck... gotta find places for everything!

33 weeks and a trip to L&D

At our lastest appointment she measured right on track. And I have one more two week appointment and then I start going everry week... yikes!

I also learned that the due date has changed to March 29th.

And me and the lil girl spent the afternoon in L&D yesterday... she was simply not moving all day. No matter what I ate or drank she just would not move. I called the doc and they had me do a hours worth of kick counts after drinking juice and she still would not move. They sent me to ER and as soon as I got hooked up, she started moving and grooving! Arg... what a crazy girl. Oh well, they assured me that I did the right thing by calling my doc and such.

I also attached my 33 week pic!

Blessed

Last night, with my husbands hand on my belly, feeling the life we created together kick his hand made me realize something... Our baby girl is very lucky. She already has a father who is wrapped around her little finger. He is so involved already, that it makes me feel so lucky, for myself and for her.

We have our regular appointment tomorrow... I am so curious to see what she is going to measure. Hopefully I won't have a contaction while she is measuring! To be on track with her last appointment (a month ago when she measured 29 weeks) she should be up to 33 tomorrow. Holy smokes! Its going to be here before we know it... and I am so thankful. I have loved being pregnant, but I am ready to meet that little soccer player in there.

Cute randomness - last night Cubby was laying with his side to my belly, and she was not really liking that, and kept kicking him. He had no clue (even tho he is "so smart") and so I kept telling him that his sister was getting annoyed with him. Too cute. I love her personality already!
