37 weeks.......you can come out now!

Here I am at 37 weeks and I have officially decided that I do not want to be pregnant anymore!  I want this little man out of my belly and into my arms where I can look into his face and feel his little fingers and toes!  I started reading online about all the ways that you can help induce labor since I was 1cm dialated when I went to the doctor last week.  I have been eating pineapple like a champ as well as drinking rasberry leaf tea.  There are some other ways to help along dialation that people keep telling me about, but I am not sure I am that desperate yet!
Here is a picture from my materniry session in July....

I can see the finish line........

Today I am 35 weeks and 5 days pregnant.  I am ready to get this show on the road!  I have been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions that are starting to drive me a little crazy.  Last week I had to go to Labor and Delivery because my contractions were 10 minutes apart.  When I got to the hospital they were 5-6 minutes apart, but I wasn't dailating any so they sent me home.  I go in 3 days for a strep B test and to get checked again.  Hopefully there will be some progress and we get meet Holden very soon.  I am so excited to finally see his face.

comming to a end...

So tomorrow I will be 31 weeks and I am counting down the days!!  The past week has proven to be a challenge for me.  My feet, ankles and wrists are starting to hurt and I am not getting much sleep.  Getting comfortable is going to take some work from now on.  I know through all of this pain and dicomfort, it will all be worth it in 2 months.  I can't wait to meet my little man!

The house is also comming along nicely.  Today is the last day of construction, which means we will be moving in any day!  I can't wait to start decorating our new house!!

home stretch......

I am officially in my third trimester, with only 12 weeks left.  That is, if I go all the way to my due date.  I had a doctors appointment yesterday, and all is well with baby Holden and I.  He is still measuring big, but only  2 weeks instead of 4.  That is a huge relief! 




The new house is also on its way to being finished.  Lights, plumbing, and Central air is all complete, and concrete is being poured right now.  I have been shopping like crazy, buying up odds and ends of what we need when we move. Hopefully all my purchases will come together nicely!
