40 weeks- due date

well, its my due date but no baby yet...lol. There's a reason he hasn't made his appearance yet and if I knew what it was, I probably wouldn't be so fussy, cranky, uncomfortable, irritable or as bitchy as i have been these past 3 days. Contractions have been off and on and I have lost my mucus plug-(gross) however, I am ready for the pregnancy phase to be over and parenthood to REALLY begin! Guess all we can do is wait.

39 weeks

Technically I don't hit the 39 week mark until tomorrow...however it doesn't really matter when I post the blog, as long as I post it so Gramma has something to read:) LOL.... Went to the Dr yesterday, checked everything and I'm 60 percent effaced and 2cm dilated. His heart rate was back in the 160s, but that could be the coke I pretty much downed before the appointment! I guess the dilation can answer why I've started having some contractions here and there...This morning they started up again, however stopped, but Jerry was in front of me when a really good one happened. I think my knuckles were turning white because i just held on to the counter and looked like I was about to cry. All he asked was is the baby coming? I said i don't know yet...He's not- Just decided to give mommy a taste of what was to come I guess. lol....I can handle most pain as long as I keep my mouth shut. If I start talking, something bad will come out- which it won't be me, it'll be the pain talking, but I don't want to end up hurting Jerry's feelings or something so I just keep my mouth shut when I start feeling any pain. Also learned yesterday on the way back from the drs, Logan is a metallica fan. Jerry had it on loud with bass going and Logan just started kicking and rolling to the music. I just stared at Jerry, because he NEVER does that when I have country music going. He likes the oldies and some of the hip hop(rap) I play but definitely not country:(

38 Weeks

We have 2 weeks left:) I'm getting excited! Went to the Doctor Friday- heart rate was in 120s-130s but he was sleeping. He's in the PERFECT birthing position....head first and nose down:) all we do is wait now...which it's a full moon tonight/tomorrow so maybe he'll make an appearance! We did get ultrasound pictures of him but they werent very good because his back was to us, however she did manage to get what she thinks is his "boy parts" which if they are....oh boy is daddy happy...lol. Right now we are just putting the finishing touches on Logan's room and then that's all set! Now, I am just trying to figure out how to put the car seat in the car without it moving a lot...For some reason, I cannot figure a rear-facing carseat out! Lol----guess we will find out.

37 weeks

Yup- 37 weeks! Meaning I'm considered full-term and could deliver safely:) Now comes the waiting game. Dr. Appt Thursday went well- heartbeat was still in 160's, blood pressure is still low but stable, and he's still head down! I measured 36 centimeters which was right on target! However, I did test positive for Strep B, which is a bacterial infection found in 25% of women- I am considered a carrier and could possibly pass it down to my child during labor and delivery. All it means is that I would have to take antibiotics during labor and it greatly reduces the chances of Logan getting sick from strep b. I'm not too concerned about it because as soon as I found out I had it, a few people came up and said they had it and it's not really that big of a deal as long as you treat it during labor:) I will have to stay in the hospital for two days(that's the incubation time for logan to get sick from it) and if everything checks out, we can go home! We start going weekly to the doctor until I deliver and Friday she is doing a sonogram:) so we get pictures of him one last time in the womb before we see him in person! I can't wait:)
 The nursery is almost finished! I have the crib and bassinet set up and ready! Mom and Dad put the bassinet together- that was funny cause it's been 16 years since they put one together and now they were fussing because something didn't go somewhere right- funniest was Dad and Jerry putting the crib together. Mom and I stayed in the dining room cuz there wasn't alot of room to stand around in there, but it was too silent in there so we went to snoop thinking dad had killed jerry or something.lol... well, they were both fine and dad was making Jerry do most of the work because we have the crib that goes from crib to toddler to full and he needed to know how to redo it, not dad:) then mom and I put the sheets and stuff on the crib while Jerry's telling me things- mom finally explained to him the fathers role is to SHUT UP! The nursery is more for mom anyway:) 3 more weeks and then we are there!!!!
