Just checking in.....

and, still no baby.  :-(

I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately.  I've been so tired/sore/uncomfortable lately, that all I want to do when I get home from work (yes, I'm still working...blaaah) is lay down in bed.  And, that's pretty much what I do every night.  I'm a big, lazy lump these days. 

But, I just wanted to check in and say hello, and let you know what's going on over here, baby-wise.  I had my last actual doctor's appointment this past Monday.  The next time I see one of my doctors I'll be in the hospital having my baby!  Eeeeeek!!  I go tomorrow for a non-stress test, and if everything looks good, then I'll be induced next week...sometime Monday-Wednesday (that's if Lil Miss doesn't make her appearance before then...but, it's not looking good.)  If my fluid levels are low, then I'm pretty sure they're going to induce me tomorrow night.  **insert freak out face**

Seriously, I'm SO ready to be done being pregnant and to meet our little girl...but, at the same time, I'm so. freaking. scared.  Please tell me I'm not alone in my feelings and that it's normal to be just a little freaked out that I'm going to be a mom any day now, and life as I know it will be changed forever.  Anyone?  Bueller?

Anyways, since I've been such a slacker, here's the latest pic of the Hubs and me, in all my ginormous-ness.  Please ignore my giant belly, and the fact that my camera flash decided to focus right on it.

40 weeks 1 day

Hopefully the next time I post I'll be a mommy!!!  :-)

I'm still here....

and, Isabella is not. 

On top of that...I've made pretty much NO progress over the last couple of weeks in the cervix/uterus/labor department.  No dialation, no effacement, nothing.  Booooo.  :-(

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon, and the Dr. said he'd be 'astounded' if I went into labor over the next week or so...and, if he were to bet on it, I'll probably be a week or so late.  Great.  Thanks, Doc.

Ugh, I'm sorry for venting/whining, but, I'm at that point where I'm SO READY to meet my baby girl.  Like, it literally hurts my heart to think about the fact that she's not here yet.  And, it's especially frustrating when I feel like everyone around me is going into labor already...and half of those people are due AFTER me!  xlkjsaofjaosifjweoij

I was explaining to my friend today....right now I feel the way I did in the weeks/months before I got engaged.  I knew it was going to happen at some point, and I was SO excited I could cry...but, it literally felt like a dream.  Like it was never going to happen.  I would just sit there every day and imagine what it would be like; how he would propose, what my ring would look like, how I would feel...but I felt like it was a million years away, even though it could've happened at any point in time.  I just didn't know when. 

That's how I'm feeling now, and it's so exciting/frustrating at the same time.  I hate not knowing if/when something is going to happen.  Will my water break tonight?  Will I still be here in 2 weeks with a baby in my belly?  OR, will nothing happen at all over the next 3 weeks and I'll have to be induced??  Ahhhhh!!  I'm driving myself crazy over here...if you couldn't tell. 

Anyways...I just needed to let out my frustrations a bit.  Thanks for listening, if you've made it through my rambling.  ;-)

Here's my latest belly pic, taken yesterday, at 38 weeks 5 days:

If anyone would like to pass along some labor/delivery vibes, I'd be more than willing to take them!!  :-)  Thanks so much!

'Wee Bit of Me Wednesdays'

I just came across Leigh's blog, and thought her "Wee Bit of Me Wednesdays" was fun!  So, I'm trying something different.  ;-)  Go check her blog out to play along!

{one} what was your favorite sitcom growing up?Hmm, this is a tough one.  I had a LOT of favs...Full House, Who's the Boss?, Just the Ten of Us, Step By Step




{two} what song always makes you happy when you hear it?Anything by *NSYNC...yes, I'm still a teenage dork at heart  ;-)




{three} do you still have your wisdom teeth?Yep, all of them




{four} what is your go to way to relax?Laying in bed/on the couch with a glass of wine/beer and a good tv show or book




{five} do you play any instruments?I used to be able to play the piano.  I can still play some things, but, not much.  I would love to get back into playing some day, though.




{six} nude beaches: yes or no?Nah, not so much




{seven} do you chew your pens/pencils?Nope.  I'm too much of a germ-a-phobe for that now.  {eight} can you change the oil in your car?Haha...um, no




{nine} can you curl your tongue?Yes!




{ten} can you knit or crochet?

Ha...wellll, I started learning to crochet a month or so ago, but I've since given up.  I'd like to start trying again, actually...I just need to find a few easy/slow-teaching videos I can watch to learn.  I realized that I lose my patience very easily when I can't do something.  It was very frustrating.  

And, that's all for today!  I hope everyone's having a good day/week.  We had a pretty decent snow/ice storm last night, so I stayed home from work today.  I've been a lazy bum allll day, and I love it!  :-)  Seriously...I hate Blogger right now!  It's making the spacing all weird and funky, even though I've 'fixed' it about 27 times.  Grrrrr.   Sorry about that.
