Date Moved Up!

Well, my Dr. Appt. went OK. My blood pressure is all over the place so she suggested we move up my induction date. So, if Chloee doesn't come by Monday morning, I will be induced. Monday, June 29. I have been given strict instructions by my Dr. to rest all weekend. Thankfully, Patrick and I have been working like hired help to get everything done. The plan was to pretty much relax this weekend anyway. Saturday is our 11 yr anniversary!

I have been having contractions since yesterday. They are still 1 hr to 45 min apart and not getting closer yet. We will see if I make it to Monday. If I do, we will have birthdays on the 27, 28, and 29 in my family of four. Syd - Feb 27, Patrick - Aug 28, and Chloee June 29. Mine is July 22. Not quiet in order but still in the twenties!

checklist

I don't know about you, but I'm a list maker. This weekend, we got a lot of our "list" done.
* belly cast - done
* lampshade for Chloee's room - done
* all the polka dots put up in Syd's room - done
* hospital bag packed - done
* take home outfit washed and ready for baby - done

One thing still on the list:
* HAVE THIS BABY!

Eleven days at the most!

Well, my Dr. appt went well. I am on the list for July 1st. It was supposed to be the 2nd, but my Dr. is off on Thursdays in July. So, we will definitely be parents by July 1st! Patrick doesn't think I will make it to July. We will see. I will definitely let everyone know when the big day is here.

Big Girl Hair

My baby is growing up! She has been telling me she wanted to get her haircut, so today we went and got a new hairdo. She looks so grown up. Her hair is in a bob at her shoulders! I can't believe it, but that's what she wanted. I will post a picture after she suprises the rest of the family on Father's Day. It's really cute and she needed that much cut off. It looks so much healthier. You Go Syd! (She is more brave than me. I haven't had my hair that short since I was four yrs old!)

Well, tomorrow is my Dr. appt. We will see how my BP is doing and if I get to be put on the "LIST" for July 2nd. I will update tomorrow.

36 weeks and counting

We are getting ever so close to having a baby. I went to the Dr. on Thursday. My Blood Pressure was somewhat elevated and I am retaining water (like I said "BLUEBERRY-ISH). I have to check my BP twice a day. Hopefully, it won't be up. I go back this Thursday. I am going to ask to be put on the induction list for July 2. With Sydnee, I was put on the list for March 3 and she came on Feb 27. So, we will see if Chloee makes up her mind and wants to come out before induction.
Sydnee was at my parents this past week for VBS. She loved it. She is still singing the song "Boomerang Express". It was a cute song. Some of the lyrics are, "On the Boomerang Express it all comes back to Jesus", I thought that was pretty clever.
Patrick is a little freaked out about how close we are. He is currently putting the infant carrier in the car. He doesn't want to have to do it in a hurry he said. :)

Getting ready for Baby.

My list is very long of things to do this week. Sydnee is at Memaw and Granddaddy's for the week. She is going to VBS with my Mom. So, this week Patrick and I should be home by 4pm everyday and need to get the house ready for the new arrival. Sydnee got her new furniture last week, so I have to finish the room. Chloee's room is mostly ready, but needs decluttered and things put in the right places.

I am not used to pregnancy in the heat. I feel like the little girl on Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I think her name is Veruca Salt. She eats a piece of candy and blows up like a BLUEBERRY! It just so happens I have to wear blue scrubs to work and I am retaining fluid so I feel very Blueberry-ish! :) Some of my co-workers don't think I will make it to July. We will see. I am to the point I don't care. Just as long as Chloee is healthy. Enough about that. I have to go shopping. (And decorate.)
