Four of Five: Surprise!

Don't let the title fool you, I only put surprise because I am posting this one earlier than I have the others. :) So I was a little anxious to go to this weeks appointment. I really didn't want to feel the way I did after the last appointment-sad, depressed, upset, disappointed, etc. So I kept telling myself that nothing had changed and she was going to come a week or so after the due date. The doctor always starts by asking if we have any questions. We didn't have any but my little smart alec (sp?) husband asked "yeah, so...when's the baby coming?" The doctor laughed and said that was a good question. We asked about induction because she had mentioned it a few weeks earlier, but she said we would make a possible plan after she checked me. So she measured me, listened to the heartbeat and then checked to see if anything had changed down below. She was pretty happy because I am now to a 3!!! Yay! You could feel the mood in the room change and it felt SO good! Oh, and 70% effaced! So what does that mean for me? Still no guarantee that this sweet little baby of mine will be coming before her due date (June 9th in case you forgot, which is 4 days away mind you), but the doctor gave us a 50/50 chance of it. I came away from this appointment feeling a lot better than last week, but still trying hard to not get my hopes up. She is a little stubborn lady just like her daddy (I say her daddy cause he always calls me the stubborn one, but really we both are:)), which means she will come when SHE is good and ready and no pleading on my part will make her come any sooner. Koby made a prediction a while ago and thought she'd come today, so I told her this morning that if she loved her daddy she would come today, but then I realized that if she loved her mommy she would have come a week ago! ;) I finished her quilt which I am quiet proud of and we have been putting a lot of stuff on the walls around the house. Things are feeling a lot more "homey" around here which is nice. Koby's cousin got married on Thursday (the day of our appointment) and everyone thought that would be so great if my water broke in the temple. Ha Ha not so funny! It would make a great story, but I prefer to have my baby in the hospital without a bunch of people around! :) Anyway, I hope my "five of five" post will be the one if you know what I mean. Until then.......


8 3/4 months prego!

Third of five: Just don't ask!

Well, apparently this little girl inside of me does not want to come out anytime soon. What can I say, she loves me! Or hates me-I can't decide. My third appointment showed that there was no progress. Honestly, it's getting a little frustrating. It made me a little depressed after the appointment. I never thought I would feel this way. At the beginning of my pregnancy I thought that as long as I stayed busy I would be fine and time would just fly. Things have been fine...until now. I don't have a whole lot of energy to stay busy, but I do have plenty that I can get done. I have gotten to the point where I just say that I'm fine when people ask me how I'm doing. But what I'm saying on the inside is "How do you think I am feeling? I'm over 8 1/2 months pregnant for crying out loud!" So if you see me just don't ask, just know that I'll be best after my baby is in my arms not my belly!

I saw this on a girl's blog that worked in Koby's building. It feels so true right now!
