Ready and Waiting........

Well I will be officially 39 weeks tomorrow and I am starting to feel like this little girl has made herself to comfy in there!! Ted jiggles my belly and tells her to come out. He says that we have to make it uncomfortable and hence the jiggling!!! I went to Dr this week and I am a whopping 1cm and still a little thick so he did a stretch and sweep (which was not fun) and it didn't make me cramp or contract at all, like I had hoped. We are all ready for her to make an appearance, the nursery is all put together, even have picture frames up but I am waiting for newborn photos to fill the frames. My mom brought down my rocking chair last weekend for the room and it is so comfortable I love it. Good thing to because I will probably be sleeping in it most nights. I can honestly say I never thought I would be one of the many pregnant woman I see daily in my job just wanting the baby out. I use to say why not keep them in longer you can get more sleep no crying etc but I totally understand them now!! I get on the treadmill and stair master everyday hoping to kick up some contractions which they do happen while I'm on the machine but as soon as I get off they stop!!! So frustrating. aaahh. So if any of you have good suggestions how to get labor going I am up for it. I see my Dr next week and lets hope there is some change!

3 weeks to go

Well I can't believe that I only have 3 weeks to go. This pregnancy has gone way to fast. I love feeling her moving around and stretch her legs and arms, I'm going to miss that part of being pregnant so much. I do have my moments of aaaahh feeling so uncomfortable but really overall it has been such a wonderful pregnancy and I waited for this for so long I cherish every minute. I can't wait to see what she looks like and if she will have hair, how big she is etc but I really am going to miss having her inside me and have that special bond. At my last Dr appt he said that since I am measuring a week ahead he thinks she is going to be tall like her daddy!!! He guessed she would be a high 7lbs or low 8lbs. I was not thrilled with this obviously and Ted was like why and I said because you don't have to try and push her out!!! Even though I know all the steps and stages of labor what to expect, the edpidurals and c-sections I can say I'm starting to get really nervous. Like am I going to be able to handle the contractions (believe me I am getting an epidural I just want to be at least 3 cm first) who knows if that will really happen. How is baby doing in labor, I will be watching the monitor like a hawk the entire time. I love/hate that I know too much!!! I hope I go into labor on my own but honestly the chances of that happening being my first baby are slim, but I do the stairmaster at the gym to try to get me contracting!! It works but the contractions don't last after I get off. Heres to hoping.
