40 weeks....

Well the pictures was at 40 weeks but this is really 40 weeks 2 days. Well my due date has come and gone and Beany has not arrived yet. Each additional day I am pregnant I inch closer and closer to insanity. She is still doing well and I am now 1cm dilated and 70% effaced. She is at -2 station which is great since she was at -4 last friday. I am really, I mean REALLY hoping she comes this weekend.

I went to the MN state fair. Michael was working in the wind energy area of the fair and I had the afternoon off so I thought what better way to get out and keep walking. I had a good time there but I sorely overestimated my walking endurance. I was hurting! I am hoping I did some good though. I am going to be sore tomorrow I think.

Well that is about it this week. I am just in a holding pattern until she arrives. I have my next doc appt on Tuesday and if she is not here by then, then we will probably induce before Friday.

Tomorrow is my due date and I am still pregnant

Today might not be my best day. I am tired and I have a headache. I think if one more person asks if the baby is here yet, I might scream! It will be absolutely obvious when she has made her arrival. The thought of potentially going almost two more full weeks and getting 1000 questions between now and then makes me want to personally remove her. I know people ask b/c they care but I don't need any additional reminders that I am still pregnant and still VERY uncomfortable.

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! That's how I feel today.

Hit a new milestone tonight...

My stomach can now hold my bowl of cereal for me. Oh how the mighty have fallen...LOL Looks like I will be up late again tonight. I am hoping not to repeat Saturday night when I was up from 12:30am to 5am. Gotta work tomorrow so I gotta get to sleep at some point. Beany please make your debut soon!!

Follow up Doc Appt

Today I had my follow up for my trouble on Wednesday. Beany passed her biophysical profile with flying colors today and I had another full doc appt which was a surprise to me. So I met with the same doctor I saw on Wednesday and I really like him. I hope he is on call when Beany comes. Well she and I are still doing well and I am 60%$ effaced, very soft and still a fingertip dilated. I got back to the office on my due date and will have to start the discussion of how long they will let me go if she is not here yet. It appears that labor day weekend is going to be the limit...but that seems like absolute ages away!

39 Weeks

1 week to go. It has been a rough two days. Yesterday I was so exhausted I felt like I was hit by a Mack truck and today I spent most of the day extremely nauseous. I am hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Well this afternoon got interesting. I just got home from the hospital. So here goes...

I had an appointment at the doc's at 2pm and I am starting to efface and are a finger tip dilated. The was the most painful internal exam yet. I don't know what he was doing but oh boy did it hurt.

Well Beany has not been moving around much so I mentioned it so he sent me to the hospital for a NST and biophysical profile. Beany passed the NST with flying colors but only got a 6/8 on the biophysical profile for not practicing to breath during the time limit. I am home now but I have to go back to the doc on Friday for another biophysical profile and I have to keep record of my kick counts as well now.

A regular doc appt sure did turn into a interesting afternoon with a 3 hour trip to the hospital.

I am hoping she will make her grand appearance before my next weekly appointment which is on my due date.

Quick Update

Still here and still cooking. I have a doctor's appt tomorrow afternoon. We shall see what find out then.

Want to know what heaven is...

12 hours of sleep with only 2 bathroom breaks...ahhhhhhhh

38 Weeks

This week's picture is different since Michael is in Wisconsin for the day and won't be home until late. Well I just got back from my doctor's appt and there is not much more progress but I am starting to thin out. That is something so I guess I should not be disappointed but I am really starting to be ready for her to be here. Other then that I have been having false labor off and on since Saturday and I am pretty darn sore from her being so low.

We bought a new car last night. I LOVE my new CRV. It is nice to have all the car stuff taken care of now. That's about all I have to update now as we are just getting really anxious for her arrival now.

Just thought I would check in...

Nothing too much going on here right now. Friday afternoon I pretty much put the finishing touches on Beany's room and got all her stuff washed. I think we are officially "ready" for her to arrive. I have been having inconsistent contractions since Saturday night but I know I could go on like that for weeks. My next doctor appt is Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed she comes sooner rather then later b/c man it is HOT outside!

Full Term: 37 Weeks

3 weeks to go. So it is official, Beany can come anytime now. I posted the doctor update yesterday but the two of us are still doing well and the doctor thinks she may come early. Only time will tell though. I am battling a cold right now so I am hoping she holds off until I am feeling better. I cannot imagine labor with a cold could be any fun. This week's picture marks the good, the bad, the sick of the pregnancy since the is my first sick picture.

We are basically ready for her but I meet with a pediatrician on Friday and will be happy when that is squared away. She is welcome to make her appearance anytime after Friday night. Things are starting to get exciting!

36/37 week appointment

I just got home from my doctor appointment. All is well with Beany and I. Apparently she is very very low and my cervix is soft but not dilated yet. The doc seemed rather surprised at how low she was b/c she said it like 4 times and then asked if I had a family history of delivering early. LOL So I go back next week but we shall see if I make it there....

Carseat installation = check

We installed the carseat today and it gets inspected tomorrow. The bad news of the week is that my car was stolen on Wednesday night. The thought of figuring out what we are going to replace it with and the fact that it had to happen so freaking close to my due date stresses the hell out of me. ugh! I wish I could just ignore it but we cannot be a one car family. Shoot me now.
