Due Date Update

If you don't want to read about the status of my uterus then I'd stop reading now. :) Just kidding, I won't go into that much detail.

I had my appointments today and we've scheduled an induction for next Monday if this kid hasn't made her appearance by then. We have made some progress in the last week, but my body isn't quite "there" for an induction this week so we'll just wait it out. Once again having that elective c-section option looming overhead can be very tempting but if I don't HAVE to have one then I don't want to do that.

Now I'm awake...

because of contractions. I was awake at this time yesterday morning as well because of contractions, so this has almost been going on for 2 days and I'm kind of getting tired of it. Sometimes they are bad enough I want the epidural NOW. :-)

What a fun guessing/ waiting game.

P.S.- This post was brought to you because people were making fun of me saying that I'd be on the computer giving updates while in labor, so here you go!

I guess she's related...

It's Saturday morning and I've been awake since 5:30 AM. Ugh. Not because of Cary or Aidan either. :) (insomnia people, not contractions, don't get all excited)

Who'd of thought I'd still be pregnant right now? Not me!!! I guess Ella heard all those people (including myself) who thought she'd be here earlier and said "I'll show all of you!" and she is. Yay. The stubbornness starts already...

I've been SO restless this week though that it's driving me crazy. I've spent a ton of money since shopping has been somewhat of an outlet, as well as cleaning and I've cleaned, organized closets, and yesterday I bought a carpet cleaner and cleaned my carpet. :-)

Life is good.

Happy Anniversary!

To us! :)

Some days it seems like 3 years wasn't that long ago and other times it's like forever ago.

I guess I like to torture myself

Here are my 39 week pictures. My appointment was a little on the depressing side since I haven't progressed at. all. and when I went for the non stress test, Ella's head wasn't even near my pelvis. Head down little girl! Head down! My doctor will let me go to 42 weeks if I'm not having any issues (obviously) but that's kind of a depressing thought, especially if I didn't progess that whole time and still ended up with a c-section. =P BUT I'm waiting it out and we'll see what happens since I haven't even hit my due date yet! :)

Travis and Susie's Wedding

Two cold, rainy June weddings in a row. :) Today wasn't nearly as cold as last weekend's wedding but it was still chilly and we had a crazy rainstorm a couple hours before.

Chit chatting

Minister Josh and Trav. (ha, ha, ha. No really, Josh is a minister now)

Toby, Josh, and Lucas waiting

Bridesmaids

Jordynne and Emma

Family pictures. Eeek. :)

Dean telling me not to take a picture.

Kiera really isn't mad at Josh here, I just got her at a bad time. :)

Waiting.....patiently

Still here, and still pregnant.
Really, I feel pretty good......it's all relative at this point, but I felt much more uncomfortable about 3 weeks ago.
The worst part is getting up in the morning, getting out of bed, and then trying to find clothes that still fit.

At this point I'd just like to not gain too much weight with the little time I have left, but I guess that might require me to quit eating ice cream. Not gonna happen. And as if I didn't feel unattractive enough, someone gave me a cold and that combined with the lovely pregnancy hormones has given me a gigantic cold sore on my nose that goes almost all the way to my lip. Awesome.
Thankfully these pictures were taken before the cold sore was showing. ;)

So far Ella is showing signs of taking her sweet time in coming so I don't really have anything to add to that.
