YES!!!!

I got so much accomplished today and think I'm almost completely ready to have Haven now!!!! :) I just want to wait until Wednesday after Venily's ABC, Music and Me class because it's just starting back up now and Venily asks me ALL the time if she can go, so I'd feel really bad if she missed it! :)

***I am delighted to say that I am currently 100% caught up on printing out my pictures!!!!!!!! This was something that was weighing quite heavily on me and I'm soooo glad it's finally done!!

Last month I wanted to get a start on printing out pics so I printed 650 pics for $30.

The last couple of days I printed 2,690 pics for FREE!!!! :) And they all come right to my mailbox! Gotta love deals like that! I even printed out all the pictures I need to finish up Venily's baby book!!!

I also cleaned out all of my SD cards!!!!

Now I can take a million pics of my newest princess and not get all stressed out about how many I'm taking, lol!! Though I think from now on I am going to be A LOT more aware of the pictures that I'm keeping! (P.S. I have no idea what I'm going to do with 3,340 pictures! haha)

***I also COMPLETELY cleaned out my van today!! Yesterday Jason took out one of the bucket seats, moved Venily's carseat to the back and installed Haven's carseat in the other bucket seat (which by the way works out splendidly!). So today I vacuumed out the whole thing, put all of the rugs through the washer and dryer and cleaned up all of the hard rug things! I also washed the windows and wiped down everything inside!!!

***Also, I vaccummed the whole house, swept the floors, went through some drawers, and got all of the laundry and dishes done!! And wiped down everything and have about half of my windows cleaned (though some there really is no reason to clean, b/c they are literally dirty again within an hour, but I clean them anyways!). I am running out of things to clean and it feels GREAT!!!!



Tomorrow I'm going to get some invitations for Venily's birthday party and start trying to work on that! Venily is 23 months today!! I will try to finish up my 23 month update and get it up tomorrow!

After walking around the zoo yesterday and cleaning like crazy all day today, I am definitely feeling it! My hips are splitting in half, my legs have shooting pain with every step, and I'm having TONS of BH contractions! ;)

P.S. 10 DAYS LEFT UNTIL MY DUE DATE!!!!

Stupid Verizon Girl!!

So my phone has been acting weird. Not charging right and freezing up and stuff so that I can't use it! (DEFINITELY not the time for that!). So I stopped in at the Verizon store after my doctor appointment yesterday. Jason went there earlier in the day and told them what the problem was and since it's still under warranty, they were giving me a new phone. Well, I had to STAND there for 40 fricken minutes waiting to be helped even though there were 4 people working and only 2 people being helped at the time. They kept saying "someone will be with you in just a minute".

When I do get helped it's by a girl who is OBVIOUSLY very sick. Like sneezing and coughing all over the place sick! Uhhh- just stay HOME!!! And to make matters worse she was wiping her nose with her hand as she's programming my new phone. I couldn't even believe it! Did she not take even a single health class in school? I was looking around her desk for hand sanitizer or something and almost took some out of my purse to give her, but I just tried to wait as patiently as I could! As soon as I got in my van with my new phone I took out one of Venily's wipes and wiped the whole thing down and put hand sanitizer all over my hands, hoping that would be enough. But.... NOPE! I woke up at 1:30 this morning with a HORRIBLE sore throat that is still really bad right now! Like I don't have enough going on! When I told Jason he was really mad and said he was going to go in there and complain!

So I have another reason why Haven has to stay in there for another week! I need to be 100% better before she comes and I need to make sure my house is 100% germ free again!!!

Doctor Appointment- 38w, 1d

Well, my appointment was a little disappointing! Everything is still going well and for that I am EXTREMELY grateful, but he said that "she is still a little high and my cervix is softening". Which is funny b/c I follow a girl online who is due around the same time as me just had the exact same thing happen to her. One week they say the baby is really low and the next she's a "little high". They can move, but usually stay low when they are low. Uhhh! And he said that he thinks I'll have her pretty close to my due date, but probably a couple of days before! Not really what I wanted to hear, but not the worst thing! I'm still not dilated, but he said again that once I do start to dilate, I'll probably go really fast. At the end of my visit he said "I'll see you in a week, but if I see you sooner, it's all the better!". One more appointment won't kill me, but I ABSOLUTELY don't want 2 more!

I wish I could walk more and get things moving along, but I can't, it ends up being WAY too painful. I'm still paying for the couple mile bike ride I went on a week and a half ago and anytime I go grocery shopping or do too much cleaning (which is pretty much daily)!

38 WEEKS!!!

Okay writing that makes me want to hyperventilate a little bit, lol! WOW, I can't believe I'm 38 weeks already!! Someone could tell me I was 18 weeks and I'd believe them, b/c this seems to have gone WAY too fast!!

38 week pics (will we have 39 week pics?! we'll see...)



At 38 weeks...
*I'm at 144lbs (+24lbs total gain)
*Still having a tremendous amount of back pain. Lower, middle, and upper!! A heating pad works pretty well, but it's really hard for me to lay flat on my back so I have to lay up against things and when it's warm out at all I hate using it!
*I feel like I need at least 1 more week!! I have some stuff I want to finish up around here, lol! Though I do think that today would be a cool bday (09/09/09)! As long as she doesn't come on the 11th, I wouldn't want that!
*Haven is still really active (at times trying desperately to break out of my sides!) and even though she's down really far, she's still able to reach my ribs just fine! :)




This week I got Venily & Haven's "Big Sister"/"Little Sister" shirts finished! I am also working on getting all of my pictures printed (hoping to get them done by today or tomorrow!!). I've been shopping and trying to stock up on food and things, I'm going to head over to Woodman's today and get tons of vegetarian freezer stuff since no where else has the same selection!

Weekly doctor appointment again tomorrow!!!

October 9, 2007 (38 weeks, 5 days pregnant w/ Venily)

I'm STILL pregnant, lol, but there are only 9 days left now until Venily's due date, so the end is finally in sight. I'm getting so excited, but I don't think the reality has set in yet that I'm finally going to be getting the baby that I've wanted for so long! I still can't believe it!! I had another doctor's appointment yesterday and when I was done the doctor said "See you next Monday if I don't see you sooner" so that was really exciting to hear! Other than that, everything is still looking good. I'm not dilated :( but I'm thinned out even more and my cervix is getting soft. It's just a matter of waiting now.

Oh, and isn't this picture so cool?? It's a woman at 36 weeks pregnant and as of today I'm 38 weeks, 5 days, so she's even bigger- it's so CRAZY!
