Still pregnant

I know, I know, I was suppose to update right after the appointment, but I didn't. oh well.
So, obviously no baby yet. Cervix is still getting softer, he is at a -2 position and think he said I am dilated to about a 1. He said if I do not go into labor before, he will induce me at 39 weeks. That is a week and a half! Isn't that crazy!?!?!? I just want little William to make his appearance now! ha ha.

Yesterday I spent the entire day until I went to work at five thirty cleaning and making everything ready and perfect for his arrival. Everything is super clean and organized and ready. Ya here that Baby William? I am ready for ya!

I did have to go to the hospital Sunday night though (sorry to everyone I didn't tell. But it wasn't a really big deal and didn't want to worry anyone for no reason). I was throwing up all through the night Saturday night and spend Sunday feeling horrible, dizzy, sick, and all around not right. Called the doctor and the nurse told me to go to the hospital. We went and found out the baby was fine. I might have been a little dehydrated but that is it. In fact, other than the peace of mind in finding out the baby was OK, it was a complete waste of time. They took blood, gave me a cup of water and anti nausea pill (that I of course threw up), hooked me up to a baby heart reading thing, let me sit for a couple hours, than sent me home. I felt just as horrible as when I went in, but knowing the baby was OK made me feel a little better I guess. I finally feel quite a bit better, other than the giant child refusing to leave me uterus!

ha ha, Any ways, besides that, Billy and I are just still patiently waiting for him to make his grand appearance into the world. We go back to the doctor again on Friday. So unless I have the baby before that, I shall update sometime after.

I have never been one for patience...

So the doctors appointment on Friday went well. He checked me. I am not dilated but my cervix is softening. BUT he did say that the ideal situation would be that I would go into labor this week! He says that the baby is getting to big and I am so short that the longer he stays in there, the more likely they will have to do a c-section! Luckily my doctor seems to share my same views on C-sections. I do not want one unless absolutely necessary. I go back Friday and he will recheck me and we shall reassess from there I suppose. In the mean time, I have been doing lots of "naturally inducing" things. Such as walking. I have been walking, walking, walking, and walking! Billy even goes on walks with me at night. It is some nice bonding time as we are trying to get this kid out! haha. Also squats, jumping jacks, walking stairs and talking to Baby William telling him it is ok to come out now! haha. I have felt a few contractions here and there, but nothing consistent or horribly strong, I have felt increased pelvic/"down there" pressure. So hopefully that is a good sign. I am so anxious to get this little guy out and meet him! One because I just want to meet him so bad! and two because I cannot stand being pregnant any more! haha. I am hoping the doctor will maybe induce me next week or the week after. He doesn't seem like he really wants me to a full 40 weeks because I have no more room in me. haha.

Billy and I are getting so anxious! I know that probably doesn't help labor though. I try to calm myself down and get relaxed but I am just so impatient and anxious to go into labor!

I shall update again after my appointment on Friday unless I (HOPEFULLY/FINGERS CROSSED) go into labor before that!

Stress and Excitment

I hope it is true when they say you forget about all of the pain and crap you go through during pregnancy when you are thinking of having your next one. I want more than one child but oh my goodness being pregnant sucks! Ha ha. Don't get me wrong, I am so thrilled to have this little guy inside me, but I would much rather him be out now! The last couple of weeks have become increasingly hard. I had to decrease my hours at work. I was still working 40 plus hours a week at work and I just couldn't handle it any more. I would go home in tears every day just from being uncomfortable and in pain. So I am down to about 30 and that is STILL a struggle! I get so frustrated that I can't keep up with things any more. There are several jobs at work I just can't do during peak times because I physically can't keep up any more. I know it is my body's way of protecting me and my little one, but it is very frustrating to feel useless and inept. But, I only have about three and half weeks left of work. Than one more week before Baby William is due to be here! I went ahead and decided to take the week before my due date off. I DON'T want to risk going into labor at work or anything like that. Plus I don't want to kill myself at work the day or two before I am suppose to be attempting to push a human being out of my body.

Aside from all the uncomfortableness and stress, I am SO EXCITED! I cannot wait until Baby William is here! I sometimes find myself wishing him here early just so I can meet him and hold him and show him how much I love him! Billy is super excited too. We can't wait to see his little face! Unfortunately Billy Broke his wrist! He is now in a cast for two weeks. So if the baby happens to come early, hell be in a cast but I informed him that such a thing will not get him out of diaper duty. ha ha. He'll just have to figure out how to do it with one hand!

Alright well we have a doctor's appointment this Friday (we are now to appointments every week) so we shall see how that goes and I shall update sometime after that!
