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...

God only gives you what you can handle

Where do I begin. This summer has been the best of any summer I can remember, besides the summer going into my senior year at Concordia. That was an epic summer I'll never forget. But this summer, was one for the books, in so many ways. For one, this was the first time I have had a break from school in 365 days. I took every opportunity and enjoyed my days off, not online submitting papers or reading a text book. Summer school ended at the end of June, and I pulled off 2 B's and an A.  I've always said that you meet people in your life for a reason, and I truly believe that. Over the last year I have met countless people. At different times I have questioned their motivation, but I also have embraced the opportunity to find out what their purpose is to me. Whether people stay in your life or leave, there is always a lesson learned. And then, there are those moments when you meet people and you know right away, that they will have an impact on your life, and in a goo...

Breakable

 If you've followed this blog since it's inception, you know that music, and music lyrics speak to my soul. I think I have had three playlists on repeat the last few weeks. I know is has almost been an entire year since my post on here, but I've also switched gears and started a new blog Behind These Blue Eyes , where I discuss my Long Covid diagnosis, treatments I've tried, and the road to recovery....or at least finding my new normal. Other than the year I got  divorced, this last year has been the most difficult I've ever experienced. From jobs, to relationships, to life, and to health. I really thought the whole dating thing was over for me. I had accepted my independence, the freedom to make choices for me and me alone, and with how unenergetic I had been feeling, how did I really have time anyway for a relationship. Things happen when you least expect them....and I fell fast. Faster than I had ever before. It was too good to be true. I kept telling myself that...
