1 Week and 2 days to go....

I can hardly wait. I can't even stand it anymore. So it has been a few weeks since my last post so here is a recap.

I have been seeing my doctor every week since I was 36 weeks. I have yet to dialte to more than a finger tip and my cervix is still ver thick.

Last Tuesday night I was having consistant contractions every ten minutes. They had started in the afternoon and continued until 3am! But then they stopped. I went to the doctor in the morning and got checked out....and nothing! I hadn't changed at all!!!! All that pain and discomfort for nothing. So I'm still waiting. I think I had lot my mucus plug that previous Thursday, but not completely sure.

My doctor was on "vacation" this weekend, but she didn't think that I would go into labor anyways...which I haven't.

Although, I am now prepared to do just about ANYTHING to try and get my body to start contracting. I want this baby out sooooo badly. My hands and feet continue to swell. If I thought trying to sleep was difficult before, now it is ten times harder. I toss and turn every hour. My hips fall asleep so I switch sides. Then my knees start to hurt. There is just no possible way to get comfortable.

Today at church, a high school friend had their 7 week old baby boy baptized. He was so cute and tiny! They had him dressed in a white little tuxedo. He truly was a little peanut. Which makes me that much more excited to meet our little Baby S.

I think we have everything prepared for little Baby S. Hubby and I went shopping last week to get a few last minute things. I still have to go to Target for a couple more things to just have on hand.

Today, I went for a trail walk with my family in hopes of going into labor.

More walks and pineapple are in store for me tomorrow and my doctor is going to try and strip my membranes on Tuesday.....please please please let my body be ready to have that done, so I can have this baby before 40 weeks.

Stay tuned.......

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t...

Happy Valentine's Day.....just a little late

Valentine's Day is my least favorite "holiday." And I say "holiday" because it really isn't a holiday at all. It was invented as a commercial holiday to sell more cards, over-priced chocolate, and unforeseeable prices on flowers. Up until this year I had never gotten actual roses on Valentine's Day. And no, they did not come from a man. My amazing dad, along with my precious Miss K, got me a dozen roses as a surprise when I got home from school. We had to celebrate a day early because of my school schedule, but the flowers were definitely a surprise. I made Miss K's valentine's as I always do for preschool and daycare. I'm trying to be a Pinterest mom when I can, and I'm very proud of these. Not a ton of work, but it just took some planning. With all the pressure to "have it all together," and I totally don't, I attempt to make up for it with these simple, yet time consuming valentine. My Non-Traditional Vale...

Pre-school & Perfection

Today was a monumental day. K started her last year of preschool. With a birthday being in October, she has the wonderful opportunity of being in preschool for two years, instead of just one. I am very lucky to live in a town where we have so many great options for PreK instruction. But today, I was a mess. I overslept, and forgot her new backpack at home as I was rushing out the door with my backpack for school. I got into the parking lot and realized, "Oh f*&%! I forgot her backpack!" Such a trivial item, but it would be so important to K. A and K had been waiting for me, at our intended meeting time of 7:55, because I insisted on being early to take pictures, and here I was the one who f'd up, and didn't wake up on time. I was so focused on what I forgot to get done and didn't do, that I neglected to embrace the moment she was experiencing on her last first day of PreK. Thankfully, I remembered the "First Day of School" sign I bought two m...
