Oh baby girl, I can't wait to meet you! I can't wait to see your sweet face and kiss those cheeks!
The last few appointments have been the "exciting ones," the appointments where they're suppose to tell you that your moving right along and she could be here anytime! Not for us! ha! I've literally made absolutely no progress! I've been dilated to 1 for weeks and I'm not effaced at all! But luckily since baby girl seems to be growing to quite a healthy weight the doctor decided to induce on Wednesday the 8th! The 8TH! I'm so so excited! I like that date. I don't know why but I do! Everyday now I wake up and think "Ah! This is my last "saturday" (or whatever day it is) before being a MOM!" I decided to go ahead and start my maternity leave on Monday. Cass and I will spend this weekend together, Monday I will finish up our laundry and any cleaning that I can do then Tuesday I'm going to rest, rest, rest! Wednesday morning we'll head in to our appointment at 6AM! I really though that these last few days would go by super slow but not so much! I guess I'm feeling a little like there's a lot to do and not a lot of time. But honestly, there's not a lot to do - I'm just anxious!
How far along? 39 weeks, but measuring 40+
Total weight gain? I thought about lying but what's the point in doing this is I lie?! 42 lbs. :( Oh well.
Maternity Clothes? Duh...
Stretch Marks? Not yet.
Sleep? Sleep? eh. I wake up at about midnight, for about an hour then again around 3:30 - after that I really never go back to sleep. I've taken lots of early morning baths! I love having a jacuzzi tub!
Best moment this week? Finding out that I will, without a doubt meet my precious baby within the next week!
Miss anything? Mimosa's feta cheese.
Movement? A lot less than before - she's running out of room but when she gets those little fit in my ribs it's huuuurts. She may be a dancer, soccer player or maybe just a good jumper like Tiger.
Food Cravings? CANDY still! :) You know how they say you shouldn't go to the grocery store hungry, well, pregnant and hungry is waaaay worse. I went the other day and spent $97 on donuts, little debbies, chips, pizza rolls, and about every other thing you may want at a 6th grade slumber party.
Anything make you queasy or sick? The smell of beer. UGH.
Labor signs? Nah, not real ones anyway. I'm having lots of back pains which may be something but I'm not sure!
Symptoms? Just the regular aches and pains I think! I have a little heartburn but nothing terrible. Honestly, since I'm not throwing up and my worst ever eczema flair up is gone I'm actually pretty happy!
Belly button in or out? Still out - I'll be so happy when that sucker goes back in.
Happy or moody most of the time? The last 2 weeks have been a little up and down on the emotional scale. Looking back, I really haven't been very emotional but the last 14 days have been...interesting. I cry a lot, I get so mad about things and i think "ashley, this is silly" but there's NO stopping me! haha!
Looking forward to? Her getting here!
Well, this will probably be my last post before she gets here! So the next update will be a picture of my sweet angel!
Love, ash
