Headed to the hospital

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Its finally time! We have waited long enough and are headed to the hospital to be induced. I am thankful for a wonderful midwife who is going to great lengths to make it as easy and natural as a process as possible. Throughout the night tonight they will give me something to soften my cervix and uterus and hopefully that will be enough to put me into labor. If I have not gone into labor by early tomorrow (Monday) morning they will slowly start me on Pitocin. It seems so strange that this is all really about to happen. I cant wait to share pics and introduce you all to baby. Please pray that everything will go smoothly and QUICK! And were off………

Last prego shot on our way out.

Cant wait to bring baby home to her bed!

June 21st

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Has passed me by. You gear up 9 months for one day and then it so quickly passes you by. I have to admit…..June 21st was a rather difficult day for me. I am ready to meet this baby and feel like all those pregnancy hormones are really kicking in here at the end. Sometimes I feel like a crazy person. I know a due date really doesn’t mean anything but it is the one thing you have to hold on to all that time. So I continue to wait. I am loosing steam but trying to stay positive and full of the energy I will need when the time is right. But there is a part of me that has given up and so this is what happens:

Not my glamorous side thats for sure. And I promise I didn’t eat that whole thing. Okay here is one of me before I let it all go:

Dont think that belly can get much bigger. Almost there!!

Patience is a virtue

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

I went to my weekly doctor’s appointment yesterday. For the past 4 weeks, I have gone to these appointments with high hopes of the doctor telling me something to the effect of, “that baby could be here any day”, or “I wouldn’t be surprised if she comes this week”, or even, “you made alot of progress since last week, your getting close” BUT I have yet to hear any of those types of comments. Four days away from her due date and still absolutely no signs whatsoever that she could be coming anytime soon. I am learning patience. And its not an easy one. I still have high hopes that my body will just go into labor all of a sudden, and she will come before I have to get induced. I will continue to hope and pray. Cause lugging this baby around is getting more and more exhausting.

On a more fun note; Josh and I used the last pictures on a roll of film that has been sitting in our Holga camera for some time. We thought it would be fun to try and get some shots of the belly. With this camera you never know what you are going to get. This is what we ended up with:

And that is a 40 week belly.

Baby Crafts

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

I have been busy crafting for baby. I dont have a nursery to decorate so I have just been making fun things. Baby girls are fun to craft for and I have so many ideas but I am trying to take it slow. If I am working on too many projects I tend to leave rooms looking like a crafting tornado landed. That is what I am trying to avoid. Next thing on the list is learning how to knit little baby hats. We will see how that goes.

I learned how to make this monkey out of socks. It’s baby’s first stuffed animal.

This is baby’s “nursery” decoration. It is now hanging from her bed. Its there just in case Josh forgets where to put her:)

I have made several baby banners but this one is a little different. I used felt instead of fabric and used more embellishing. I like how it turned out.

This was more of a difficult project to embark on but I learned alot and now know how to add a boarder onto a blanket.

Baby’s lovey.

All baby girls need bows right?? A is going to be rockin the bows.

MacKensie helped me make a nursing cover. Apparently this is a fool proof design. It was so easy to make. It does not look like much but apparently its a life changer. Ill let you know.

So i didn’t actually make this one myself. We received a hammy down car seat but it had been sitting in my parents garage for quite some time so was rather dirty and stained. I cleaned it up and was really wanting to vamp it up. I thought about embarking on making a cover myself but decided I probably didnt need the stress so I found a good price on Etsy, picked out the fabric and tada, a beautiful new looking car seat. I LOVE how it turned out. I know A is going to look adorable in it.
