38 weeks...2 more to go

Well, I am hoping she will come any day now and I don't actually have 2 weeks left! At least I am headed to the finish line and can't wait to meet our baby girl. It is just strange to think that in a matter of days we can be holding our girl. I got out of bed last night to pee for the 100th time and looked at Sans and said, Isn't it weird to think we are going to have a baby soon? His reply, VERY strange. I guess it is just surreal, since we have waited so darn long!
Poor Sans, he would really like his wife back and trust me I would like to be back! He woke me up in the middle of the night to say, " Sam, wake up you are snoring SO loud!! He said I feel bad for waking you up, but I can't sleep! My reply, "How can I be snoring...I am not even asleep!" Oops I guess I did fall asleep for a few minutes! Must be attractive to hear your wife sawing logs! I am glad it has only just started and hasn't lasted my whole pregnancy. Hopefully, it will be ending soon when I can breath again!
I had a Dr.s appt yesterday...no progress has been made as of last week. Still almost 2 cm dilated & 80% effaced.

Drs Visit today...making progress!

We had a Drs visit today. I was hoping for some progress and we got it! I have dilated to 1 1/2 almost 2 centimeters. I am still 80% effaced and the baby is in the same position in the pelvis. I thought for sure she scooted down farther, but nope! Now I do know that it could be weeks until I actually go into labor, but hey I am being hopeful that I will continue to dilate.
Sans and I are running around trying to get all this last minute stuff done and it feels like we are getting NOTHING accomplished! I should really get off this computer and go pack my bags for the hospital....just to be on the safe side!

EMOTIONAL!!

So, I know so many posts lately.... emotions are running at full throttle, so writing helps me sort them all out! Well, and that fact that my mom and Sans are helping me get through it all. Bless their patient hearts!
We are weeks away from meeting our little girl and I never thought I would be a mess about it. I know these emotions are completely normal, but I wish I could feel normal for just a second.
I guess "normal" just isn't in the cards right now because everything is about to change...of course for the amazingly better. I take after my Grandma Evie in this department of starting to panic about every little thing....bless her heart!

So here are all of the things I am nervous about and hopefully these feelings will all go away once the are written down...

I am nervous....

To give birth
That she is healthy
Making the right decisions for her health and safety
I will be so sleep deprived that I can't cope or function!
I will be able to enjoy the time with her while I am away from my business
My life will be a juggling act with work and baby


AHHHH.....I feel better now! Thanks for listening to my worries! Now I need to put them to rest and enjoy each moment as it is given to me. We have waited SO long for this moment and embracing and remembering the time when we wanted this all so badly helps me put it all in perspective. Now if the hormones could just be laid to rest!

4 more weeks to go!!!


Here is a belly pic! We have 4 more weeks to go. It is October 1st and I can officially say when people ask, When you are due?" THIS MONTH!!! Now, that is if she comes on time or early. We are hoping for early! How's mama? Well, Ava's head is down low and she likes to bang it around on my pelvis...yeah I know OUCH!! That is what I say each time she does that! I am just uncomfortable and will be counting down the days. Now, I have wishful thinking and keep saying...she is going to come early! Who knows, but hopefully on Wednesday I will have made some more progress and hopefully (fingers crossed) will have dilated. I seriously have to think about what I need to pack in my bag for the hospital...get last minute stuff for that and install the car seat! Then we will be officially waiting for her arrival! We did play hooky on our last birthing class. We were over it! I never did like school! Oh and the woman teaching it is VERY pro breast feeding and I did not feel like sitting through all that!
