Week 38 and still going strong



Well, Week 37 came and went and I went to the doctor Tuesday , March 6th and still nothing has changed.  I am now thinking that this kiddo is very comfortable and content and doesn't want to enter into the world.  Or it will be just like it's Daddy and late to everything.  :-)  So we are still waiting and getting more and more anxious to meet our little bundle of joy each and every day.

Work is getting harder and harder to do with this big belly of mine.  Plus I'm trying to make the schedule for next week and I don't know if I need to schedule me there or not.  Kind of up in the air right now.  I think that I am just going to schedule me to work and then if I go into labor they can work it out.  I love all my customers.  They are all very supportive and excited too.  I get asked each and every day your still here!!  Sometimes it makes me somewhat sad but I know that they are just excite to meet our little one too.  Only time will tell with this kiddo.  :-) 

I am still feeling this kiddo a lot.  Last night it felt like I it was dancing and playing soccer all at the same time.  I am hoping that since I feel a lot of movement and since i really haven't gained that much weight this last month that it means this kiddo will be small and not a 15lb baby.  But at the same time I am kind of hoping that it is at least a 50lb baby and I wont have to exercise much to loose all the baby weight.  If it was up to Taylor this kiddo would be coming out at the age of his nephew Miles is right now because he said that Miles is a cool kid and healthy and strong.  Could you imagine being pregnant carrying a one year old in your belly.  Oh my that would be miserable.  I told Taylor that baby's are not as fragile as they look and that he will be fine.  But he is just scared that he will hurt the baby because it will be so small.  So once this kiddo gets to be 6 months and is stronger I guess I loose my child to both its Daddy and Paw-Paw.  Because we already know that the grand kids are Paw-Paws once they get to be about 6 months old because then he can play with them and rough around with them and have fun with them.  My dad is such a great Paw-Paw and to see him with all the kids crawling all over him is so much fun.  But he has been that way all my life so I knew he was always going to be a great Paw-Paw.

Well my bag is finally packed and the outfits that we have chose are in the bag as well.  We even threw in a receiving blanket that someone will bring home to big brother Jagrrr and the rest of the kids to smell so that they have the scent of their little brother or sister.  I think I am finally all prepared for the arrival of our little one.  We have the bassinet up and ready and also the Pack & Play.  Diapers are placed around the house for easy access and also the car seat carrier is all ready to go.  Clothes and blankets all washed up as well.  Granny will still have to do some washing once we know the gender of the baby and size of this little monster.  But as of right now we are all good to go.  Now we are just on a waiting game to see when we will finally meet our little bundle of joy.

The evening of Wednesday, March 7th and all day Thursday, March 8th I started feeling contractions.  I called my doctor and they told me to start tracking the contractions.  The contractions we 30 minutes apart lasting about 10 minutes each.  The only thing that I thought was strange was that I was not in any pain.  I called my mom and we spoke throughout the day.  After talking to the doctor and his nurse a couple of times my mom decided to leave Houston and drive up here just in case anything was to happen.  The contractions lasted through the day I decided that since I was having the contractions that I would take it easy for now on.  I stayed at work the rest of the day Thursday but decided to not work Friday and anymore until the baby arrives.  Everyone at work was amazed that I was having contractions and working at the same time.  But again that is me being hard headed.  Since I wasn't in any pain I was going to stay at work.  These contractions are more pressure and my belly getting rock hard than pain.  I was thinking that at first I might be dehydrated so I started drinking more and more water to see if the pressure and cramping would stop.  All I did Thursday night was pee every 5 mins then.  Well Friday, March 9th they are still about the same and the timing is about the same too.  So we are just gonna wait and see what happens.  Maybe we might get to meet our bundle of joy soon.  Can't wait!!!!!!!!!

If nothing happens this weekend I have another appointment for next week Tuesday, March 13 so then hopefully since I will be at my 39th week we can, if the baby isn't here already, then maybe schedule inducing.  My mom is going to stay until atleast Tuesday for the appointment if nothing happens.  One thing my doctor said that made us laugh because he is trying to calm me down with humor since I am so scared of the Group B strep situation.  So he told me if I go into labor and have to rush into the hospital then while we are rushing into the hospital Taylor or myself needs to be saying Group B positive and need antibiotics the whole time we are walking in.  I am just hoping that it doesn't get to that.
