Tomorrow :)

So tomorrow is the day!! We finally get to meet our little boy :) I am very very nervous i am not going to lie. I told myself i would go in there calm, but i definately am nervous of the unknown!! I know everything is going to be fine and that i am in good hands :) I will update as soon as i can!! Wish us luck :)

37 weeks

So i went to the doctors today. Nothing changed. I am still dilated a 1 1/2 but i gained 2 more cm. He wanted to give me an ultra sound just to make sure my fluid levels are ok and he isn't huge. My levels were good, they were around 18.5 which is a little high but not really high, and they are estimating him at 7.14 already!!! Give or take a pound. To me that sounds huge!! haha, but as long as he is healthy i am ok. The ultra sound tech was super nice and gave me a 3-D ultra sound for free, so here are a couple pics of our chubby little monkey! :)

Update

So i am just sitting on my couch being bored and decided to update anyone who is interested :)

So i had a doctors appointment last Thursday. Everything was normal, blood pressure good, lost a pound, just like it always has been. He said he didn't need to check me just because the week before i wasn't dialated and he said it really wouldn't have changed. I have been on Terbutaline to stop my contractions so he told me to keep taking those until i hit 37 weeks, which is Tuesday. So he wanted to just get my measurements and his heartbeat. Heartbeat was good, as normal, then he went to check my measurements and had a puzzled look on his face. Then he measured again, and said "that can't be right" Then decided it was. Well, the week before i was measuring 37 cm. i was 35 wks and 2 days. I have been measuring bigger the whole pregnancy, don't know why, but i wasn't too worried about it. Well when he measured me on Thurs i was 40 cm!!! I grew 3 cm. in one week........So naturally i am a little freaked out. He said i could either have a big baby, or just more fluid, or that's just how my body is. I wish he would have done an ultra sound just because i am curious what it is. Honestly, i don't want to have to try and push out a 10 pounder......but as long as he is healthy i am ok :)
So he basically told me he did not want me to go to full term because i am measuring big and too stop taking the meds and hopefully i will go into labor on my own. Lets just say, after the appt. me and my mom went for a 2 mile walk :) Didn't seem to help haha

Yesterday around 2:00 i was having contractions pretty consistent and they were really starting to get uncomfortable, not hurting to the point of making me cry, but pretty uncomfortable. So around 7 they were about 5 min apart and lasted for about 50 sec-1 min. So naturally i thought i was ready, so i went in just to make sure and to get checked. She hooked me up to the monitor, baby was great, and my contractions were about 3-4 min apart by now, so she checked me and i was 50% thinned (efaced)???,my cervix was still pretty firm and closed....UGH!!!! So frustrating. So she said that she wanted to keep me for an hour to be monitored to see if i changed. So she came back in an hour and checked me and my cervix softened, i was more thinned, and dialated to a 1 :) I was pretty happy about that, so of course we had to stay another hour. Checked me after that hour and hadn't changed. :( So me and eric decided just go home and get comfortable (i was SOOO uncomfortable) and just see what happens. We went home, i took a bath, and slept great.......I have had them all day about 4 min apart but not getting worse. I know it may seem like i am just blabbing on and on but i really am just frustrated. I DO know that he needs to stay in there and honestly i would be ok if he did. I just wish my body didn't feel like it was trying, and i wish i knew without a doubt when to go to the hospital because i feel stupid being sent home. I am not good with pain, so for me these hurt. Everyone tells me "you will know" and i know that i will know, but it is still frustrating :(
So we are just hanging out waiting for his arrival. Hoping it would be today 10-10-10, but, don't think that will happen.
Any advice from any of you would be muchly appreciated :) Thanks!

Baby's room

So we are finally finished with Aiden's room and i figured i would take some pictures and show it off. We have had so much fun putting it together and having our little projects for it. We refinished the rocking chair and Eric made (yes MADE) his dresser/changing table. He is incredible!! :) The walls are pretty bright just too warn you, BUT you get used to it :)



This chair used to be my mom's when we were babies. It used to be a cream color with like a plaid fabric with every color under the sun!! haha So we just sanded it down and re-stained it then covered the old pillows with canvas. Then i used one of his receiving blankets and made a pillow out of it :) It turned out way cute i think







Yes, he made this :) Amazing right??



He painted these for him too :)









So i know it sounds like i am bragging about my husband and im really not trying too, but i truly am so lucky to have such a great artist and handy man :) I love that he was able to put his passion into making Aiden's room and i know it's going to mean so much more too him as he grows up :)

So on Tuesday i will be 36 weeks. Honestly it feels like i should more than that, like 38 weeks maybe? lol i know it is just me wishing but my body just feels ready. I did have to go to the hospital last sunday, no biggie, i was just having contractions and they were pretty close together, they were worried enough to put me on Terbutaline to stop my contractions. I basically have to take them when my contractions start getting closer together or if they just hurt. Usually 1/2 of a pill subsides them but lately i have had to take about 1 1/2. So i'm not sure if they are getting worse or what. I couldn't work more that 4 hours at a time and basically just have to take it easy. I am not dialated still as of Wed, but i am thinned and he is engaged, which frankly i don't really know what that means.....i have had SO much pressure down there almost like he is going to fall out haha it is such an uncomfortable feeling, but i'm sure those of you reading know how that feels. It is frustrating feeling like my body wants him to come out but i do know he is SO much better in there. I am thinking if i make it 2 more weeks, we will be ok :) Here is a pic of me i took today, and i must say that i am HUGE!!! :) ENJOY
