Almost there

Well my due date is Monday, April 16th, so I went into the Dr yesterday hoping for some good news! I was dilated at 3cm and 90%effaced measuring 41 so looks good she said, but her head is still a tad too high but it is down. SO she stripped my membranes which is good and supposed to help induce labor, so praying that I go into labor any day now. However, if not, then we did go ahead set me up to get induced Tuesday, April 17th at 5am! So there is light at the end of the tunnel! Even though there is a risk of c-section when you get induced, I could end up going into labor and have a c-section just as well, so I am going to just go for it. I don't want her to get too big and not be able to deliver her and have a c-section anyways, so the plan is Tuesday! We are so excited and hoping she decides to make her appearance before then, maybe this weekend!

37 Weeks- Full Term Yay!

So last week I started doing some major walking with Bella to bring labor on hopefully!!! We did over 10 miles in 3 days last week alone, and well now that it is getting hotter, it becomes a little harder with Bella. It was only 85 degrees but looking at her walking you would have thought it was 100 degrees! She can be a pansy when it comes to the heat, and I guess the fact that I was powerwalking! So she decides to just dart off into the shade and sits down or lays down in the grass to where she will NOT get back up! I end up looking like a total idiot, here's a 9 month preggo lady trying to pick this 108lb dog up to get her to walking again and she won't budge! It is so embarrassing! We will see how this week goes.

Besides that, getting absolutely miserable now, waking up at least 15 times at night to go pee, that's fun! And then pair that with my Pregnancy Carpal Tunnel in my fingers and then arms when I fall asleep, and heartburn, I really do just dread going to sleep every night knowing how terrible it will be! I am praying that Campbell decides to make her appearance any day now, now that she is full term. I know that everyone probably hopes to have their babies a little earlier than their due dates but then those are probably the ones that go all the way and end up getting induced, so I am just hoping that is not the case. My Dr. did say we will not go past my due date due to my thyroid condition so I guess if April 16th gets here and she hasn't come we will be inducing maybe a couple of days before that or that day but we will see! Keep your fingers crossed that she comes any day now!!!

36 Weeks Sonogram

Here are our pics from our 36 Weeks Sonogram yesterday! She is measuring 6lbs 6oz and everything looked good! I am progressing, I was 1 cm dilated and 80% effaced so we will see how it progresses at my appt next week as I am going weekly now. Really she said any day my water could break or I could wait until my due date, you just never know! I am hoping it is next week or the first week of April! But we can just wait and see what happens!

Family Shower Pics

Thanks again to Cecily and Gwen for my family shower! It was the cutest thing ever!

Family Shower and Random Pics

Stocked up for after I go home from hospital

Put the car seat base in the car and got the car seat ready

My cousin Cecily who threw my Family Shower with her mom, Aunt Gwen

Cecily decorated her house so cute, like a LUAU!!!!


So my cousin Cecily and my Aunt Gwen threw my family shower March 3rd, waiting on more pics from Ces, but here are a couple that I got! They had the house decorated so adorable like a Luau with everything flip flops, ocean colored punch, and Aloha Cake!!! It was too much and I appreciate all that they did!!! Little Miss Campbell got a ton of cute stuff both necessity and cute clothing of course! This child's closet is unreal! But it was so great to see all of my family that got to come out!

I miss more than anything Diet Dr. Pepper, my OB didn't want me drinking the diet drinks during pregnancy so I gave it up but I did buy a 24 pack the other day for the house because you better believe I am drinking those when I get home from the hospital! I already am bringing a 6 pack of bottles to the hospital with me for right after too! And then last weekend we put the car seat all together and installed the base into my car so that we are ready to go to the hospital whenever now! Bags are packed and loaded to get them out of the house! We have a sonogram next Wednesday at my 36 week appt so we will hopefully get a better idea of how big she is and how long we will have to wait for her to make her appearance!

34 Weeks Belly Shot

Well I am definitely feeling like a whale right about now! This belly cannot possibly get any better but I know it is going too! She is moving like crazy this week and you can see her on my stomach as she moves which Rusty likes to watch but yet thinks it is still a little weird at the same time! But I am just so ready now! Went to the OB yesterday, measuring at 36 so hopefully she will be coming early! Countdown is definitely here!

Had my family shower last weekend and I am trying to get those pics uploaded by this weekend!
Thanks to Cecily and Gwen, it was so much fun, and it looked amazing! I am so thankful for them!

Work Shower

Money Tree

Diaper Cake

A couple of my work friends threw me a Work Shower last week, and it was so sweet of them to do that! It was my favorite colors Orange and Pink of course! I got so many cute things including a handmade blanket, diapers, wipes, burp clothes, all kinds of goodies, and then the money tree is going to be a HUGE help to help me get the rest of the stuff off my registry! Thanks to Shawnda, Kim, Shelby, Sunny and Heather for making this a wonderful shower! Love you guys!
