Ready for Baby!

I have 5 days left till my due date!

This past weekend was awful! Friday night I started getting a sore throat and stuffed up nose. I woke up Saturday morning with 

a full blown terrible cold. So, my 

weekend was spent trying to rest, just staying in the house. Today I'm finally feeling better.

Last night I couldn't sleep. I had cramps and really bad lower back pain, so hopefully that means he's going to be here soon :)

There are a few other items that we plan to add to his walls but here's what we have so far!  

Waiting.....

This morning I had a doc appt. Still just one cm dilated. I have contractions pretty much everyday and feel like crap. Luckily, today is my last day working (well, before I have to come back in 3 months).
I'm frustrated because I can't really do stuff that I want to do, like cleaning and grocery shopping. I have to walk super slow and I get shooting cramps.
Just a few random updates... My belly button is still an iny. We still have to hang the wall stuff in the baby room. My hospital bag is packed. I'm looking super bloated!

Bateman is ready to meet his little brother! Although, the past few days he's been extra hyper and not listening what-so-ever. I hope he is good and somewhat calm when the baby arrives!

New Items in the Nursery

I'm down to the last few weeks! I'm still hoping for Thanksgiving week. I feel awful... My lower back hurts constantly, I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions, and my belly feels so heavy, like it might fall off.
I had my 37 week doc appt a couple days ago. I am now 1 cm dilated. The baby's heart rate was in the 150s.
We still have a few things left to add to the nursery. Here are a few pics of some gifts for the baby room that we've recently received.
Justin's Mom, Robin, made us this stain-glass lamp. We love it! The shades of green and the tree branch base really go with the room.
This giraffe lamp is from Justin's Dad and Renee. It's adorable. The pic I took with the lights off didn't come out too well, but you get the
idea :)







Oh, and, I'm not moving my blog to Word Press... I'm leaving it here.

36 Weeks!

Today I'm 36 1/2 weeks. Almost there! I don't think my 36 week pic looks much different from my 30 week pic, but I'm def bigger and belly has dropped.
I had a doc appt today. He is head down, super low. I'm not dilated yet, but I am 75% effaced. The doc said he feels like the perfect size for my body. I really wish they could tell me approximatly when I'll go into labor, ha. I know that's impossible, but I really want him to stay in there until the week of Thanksgiving. I'm def done being pregnant, it's become pretty damn uncomfortable, but my Mom won't here until the 23rd! That is exactly a week before my due date. So, I guess all we can do is wait and see. I've been feeling crampy and my lower back hurts most of the time.
I am an obsessive planner so this waiting and not knowing is killing me!
Now that my pregnancy is coming to an end I would like to note the things I have enjoyed about being pregnant.
-My hair is very soft and thick
-My skin is clear
-I can eat much spicier foods than ever before and it's delicious!
-Feeling and seeing him move has been really cool
Beyond those things I am not someone that "loves being pregnant".

I hoping to have a couple more blog posts before the little guy arrives. I'm switching my blog to Word Press. Justin thinks that it'll be so much better. So, once I transfer all of my archives I'll post my new blog address.

Time to fold baby clothes!
