Trying to stay busy!

Well, I'm 40 weeks, 3 days pregnant as of today! I'm trying to stay busy so that I stop obsessing about when she is going to be here. Jason and I went out to dinner and a movie the other night, which was really nice. (At least my Mom didn't take off 3 days of work for NOTHING). I've also been working on Venily's baby book! I spent hours on it yesterday and I still have a lot left to do... I am REALLY going to make sure and stay up-to-date with Haven's!

It is really nice knowing that at the MOST I only have 2 more days until I get to see Haven, but I really can't understand what is taking her so long! At this point with Venily, I already had an 8 day old baby!!! I am going to have to pack some bigger clothes for her in her hospital bag, just in case she's HUGE!!

Jason has been driving me absolutely crazy! I'm so glad that it's finally the weekend and that he doesn't have work. He has been making sure that there is someone here to babysit me the whole time and he was calling and checking up on me a million times a day. He doesn't like me going ANYWHERE by myself and even gets mad when I go for walks by myself. I have a feeling that once this labor starts, it's going to be WAY longer than we are anticipating since she is already not cooperating! I really hope not though! I really wish she'd make an appearance TODAY!!!! Like any minute now would be great... I'm not even having that many BH anymore! :(

Alright, I'm going to work on my baby books some more until Venily wakes up from her nap and then go on another LONG walk!!! Come on Haven... I want to see her so badly and I don't want to have to experience Pitocin nor do I want to have to be at the hospital so early Monday morning!

Doctor Appointment- 40 weeks, 1 day

Well, we officially have an end date!! Everything is still looking really good, it's just a matter of waiting now, but my doctor did schedule me to be induced Monday morning at 6:00am if she's still not here by then. But my doctor said that he REALLY thinks I'll have had her by then and then he said "but I keep saying that and you keep proving me wrong!". LOL! That will put me (according to my doctor's due date for me) at 41 weeks exactly and by my "real" due date at 40 weeks, 5 days. Soooo.... we wait some more!!

I had contractions last night from 1:30- 3:30am, but they eventually stopped. :( No other indications that the baby is coming any time soon. Guess we will be walking and walking some more, though so far it hasn't helped!

Pregnancy Progression

I'm bored waiting for Haven to get here, lol! And I'm so sick of doing things "one more time" before she's here! :)

And another...

I'm going to miss having a big baby belly! :)

40 WEEKS!!! Oh my goodness!

I am so stunned that I'm still pregnant!! SOOO stunned! I just can't believe that today is my due date and I'm not holding my little princess yet!

Well, here are my 40 week belly pics that I thought I'd never have to take, lol! She is so huge now, lol! Luckily still no stretch marks, but I really wonder how big she is going to be! I think close to 8 pounds!



At 40 weeks...
* I'm at 145 pounds still (+25 pounds total gain)
* Feeling surprisingly well! My back feels a lot better than it did a few weeks ago and I am only getting up 1-2 times a night (though I can NEVER go back to sleep b/c a million things go through my mind!)

I REALLY hope today is the day! My new silly logic is that I was 5 days early, so Venily was 5 days early. And Jason was born on his due date so Haven will be born on her due date! HAHA!

I have my doctor appointment tomorrow at 2:00. I think after Venily's "ABC, Music & Me Class" today I'm going to try and reschedule my appt for earlier in the morning. I really want to see what the game plan is now! I'm scared to death of being induced, but I also don't want to be pregnant FOREVER!! :)
