Grrr....

Nothing yet, NOTHING!

Tired!

I'm just tired of being pregnant. I know she's growing and getting alittle fat on her which is good but come on, she's full term and I want her to be born NOW! I had another Dr's appointment yesterday and I'm 2cm dilated and she's pretty low but my Dr doesn't seem to think it's gonna happen soon...i.e. in the next couple of days. She asked if I wanted to schedule a date to induce but I hesitate to do that. I want to see how the next week goes, hopefully she will come on her own. I want the surprise of going into labor all on my own! We'll see!

Sweet Dreams are made of these....

Or NOT so sweet dreams! Why on earth do all the books say it's "normal" to have all these creepy freakin' dreams? They consist of me losing the baby, putting her on top of the TV at my Mom's house, and horrible child birth. The latest was me waking up in bed, realizing I was in labor (which didn't hurt at all!) pushing her out and she wasn't breathing. I picked up my cell phone to call 911 but it had been disabled for some reason and I couldn't call! I ran downstairs with her and tried to call from the home phone (not sure why I didn't pick up the phone NEXT to the bed!?) but my home phone was dead! Then my alarm woke me up. Wow, these dreams seriously HAVE to stop, they are freaking me out!

Decisions Decisions!

Our digital camera is getting kind of old...in digital camera years it's gotta be at least 10 years old! Basically the flash is shot, the battery lasts about an hour, the pictures are blurry and whenever I take a picture there are little dots all over in the image. So the consensus is we need/want a new one. What's the point in having a beautiful little girl if we can't take millions of picture of her?!

So the research begins. Who knew there were so many choices for a digital camera? I went to cnet.com to do a comparison which basically just confused me more! Why can't there be a website www.yourperfectcamera.com? It's not like we are looking for a fancy, uber expensive camera. We just want one that takes good pictures! We will continue looking but holy cow this is a job in and of itself! Decisions Decisions!

My lastest appointment

I had an ultrasound yesterday and here's the update! She weighs about 7lbs and is very low. According to my doctor, when she checked me she could feel Avery's little head! My doctor also said I am 1cm dilated and my cervix is "squishy". I don't think that's a technical term but means it's softening I think! She is now in the 70th percentile for weight so it's better than the 80th percentile she was in last month. I can chalk that up to eating better and my glucose levels being under control:-)

During the ultrasound you could see her little face, her cheeks are chubby and her lips are big and poofy! She's already cute:-) Even the tech made the comment that she had chubby cheeks.

I had my first non-stress test today. The stress tests consist of me sitting quietly for 20 minutes with two monitors on my belly, one checks for fetal movement and monitors her heart rate and the other monitors for contractions. Today, her movement and heart rate were perfect and I didn't have any contractions. I have to have one each week until I deliver. This is all a result of the diabetes.

Otherwise all is well. I'll post pictures from the ultrasound soon!

Quick Update

I had a doctor's appointment today, and outside of my Dr being one hour behind and me being there about 90 minutes longer than I wanted to be...it was uneventful. She said nothing is happening at all, which is ok considering I am at week 35. She also said Avery doesn't feel too big and that she's not concerned about size. She also said the day she becomes concerned is the day she puts me in the hospital to be induced! In addition, she feels VERY high, she's right under my ribs ALL the time!

Stay tuned for the results of the ultrasound (6/10).
