So, less than 4 weeks now! And Stephen has predicted that I'll be early, but I kind of doubt that. After my last appointment (last week) they said I was thinning out a lot and at 3cm, but that doesn't really mean a whole lot. I've known people who were dilated but still went past their due date. So while I was excited to know things are progressing the way they should, I'm not going to get my hopes up that he'll come early. In fact, if he comes on his due date, or a little after that's ok. :)
Hurrah, hurrah! Little Daniel's room is just about finished. The crib is up, decorated, clothes are washed and put in his drawers; diapers and wipes are ready; and since the bed is up - he can come now. :P Stephen got some returned blinds from work (he works at Blinds.com now) that are really pretty. They look kind of like the old type of brown wood blinds (duh, that's what they are) and they smell really nice! Yeah, seriously, the wood has a nice fragrance to them. Anyway, he cut them down for the windows in Daniel's room (one of two windows) and they look really great! I'm making some winnie the pooh curtains and the browns in the material and blinds go perfectly.
I still need to get the basket of things to take to the birthing center for when he's born - I've got some of the items, but I need to get everything ready and on hand so when its time - we can go! *Sigh* I need to make some food too to put in the freezer...I forgot about that. Seems like what little money we have is all going for baby and bills...and a little necessary food. :)
Speaking of food, I went to the grocery store and bought a big bag of grapefruit. I've been craving sweet stuff (NOT GOOD) and I've been trying to make sure I haven't been eating too much sugar or anything, but its still really depressing to see the scale go up and up. :(((( Anyway, I stocked up on good "sweet" things, like grapefruit and pineapple. THANKFULLY the grapefruit is REALLY sweet and I ate 4 of them yesterday! Oh my.
*oh and our wedding cake was still just as good as the day of our wedding and that has been sitting around....waiting to be eaten....and I've been saying no no no no no and then picking on it because I was craving it*
Tonight some friends are throwing us a "Baby Party" - we're ditching the "Shower" title and inviting all our friends for fun and games. (or Megan did all the inviting rather) It should be a ton of fun!!!! I can't believe this is going to be one of our last parties without a baby!!! Whaaa!
NOT to discourage you but you are right, I keep hearing about random moms who are dilated and effaced and still walking around with no baby for a couple of weeks...bizarre how that happens. :P If you get desperate though there are lots of moms at our church with various tips and tricks that worked for them. :D (google is also fun to try hehe)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the party tonight!! I hope everyone likes it because I feel like I've not put nearly enough thought or prep into it. :( But I figured our group is pretty good at entertaining itself so I don't need much more than food and some games yeah?? :D And just think, next time we throw a party Daniel can be there to be company to Allison hehe. :D
