37.5 weeks

Ok I am DONE!! I don't want to be pregnant anymore. I want Caleb to come out NOW! I am so uncomfortable! I can't sleep, even sitting at my desk at work is not fun. I seem to have contractions ALL the time. and this weather is TERRIBLE! It was 95 in my house last night. That's not ok! This is Washington! We have 75 degree days NOT 106!! OH and get this, I was told I have a cute waddle! Apparently I am large enough to waddle now!

I went shopping with Tia and the babies last weekend. Got some last minute things for Caleb. Since it has been so hot my bags are on the floor in his room STILL! its almost been a week and I haven't even unpacked the bags! Oh well.

I will post some pictures very soon. Maybe tonite when I get home I will take the laptop to my bedroom with my somewhat A/C. I really just wanted to whine to everyone! Ok I better get some work done. talk to you soon!

3 weeks left!

Here I am 36.5 weeks. I can't believe there is only 24 days left! Crazy how the last few months are flying by and the first few were so slow! Matt and I had a mini shopping spree at Babies R Us last night! it was WAY fun! We got the changing pad, and the cover that goes on it and the mattress pad and the lamp that matches Caleb's bedding and some bottles and the basket for the dishwasher for the bottle parts. Then I put it all away! I really need to figure out how to organize his changing table area. I seem to have WAY to much stuff on it. I guess I really don't need 10 packs of wipes and 500 diapers on the table right now. I think I better clean out my hall closet. Another thing to add to the list.

My Dr. appointment was Wednesday, Dr. Morris was gone so I saw Dr. Eun. Mr. Personality! He spend all of 3 minutes with me, measured my belly listened to the heartbeat, asked me about birth control and left. Nice to meet you too! Dr. Morris will be back next week so thats good! Thats really all thats going on right now. I am in waiting mode. I'm not sure how much longer I am going to work, my goal is to make it to Aug 7th but we will see what the doctor says.

OH! i didnt tell you about my AMAZING shower!! It was so cute decorated with jungle animals! I need to get some pictures from Matts mom and I will put them up. I had so many gifts! It seemed like I was opening them for hours! Megan and Shauna and Susie really out did themselves! I loved EVERYTHING about it! I cant wait to plan Megans!! Alright I better go. Talk to you all later!

Here it is Friday! I really don't have much to say, truth is I am board at work!! Don't get me wrong, I have plenty to do, I just don't feel like doing it!

I had my 35 week check up on Wednesday. I go every week now. All went well. Caleb is still measuring right on track. This is helping my 12 pound baby dreams! He just might be a 8 or 9 pound baby! I am OK with that! :)

We also had our last birthing class last night. It was good. We learned to swaddle the baby and different techniques to calm him down. We watched some videos and had a question and answer session.

I can't believe there is only 4 weeks left. I guess I can believe it, cuz I am movin slower these days! and the cankles this girl gets when she is on her feet all day or some of the day or for just a minute! it is pretty sad. All I want to do lately is sleep. oh and pee! as soon as I stand up I feel like I have to go bad! So i go and its just a tiny trickle. I have myself on an every 3 hour schedule during the nite. I am up at 11, 2 and 5 every nite/morning.

This weekend is another fun filled packed weekend. I will try and post pictures on Sunday nite.

2 posts in 1 week!

I had my 34 week check up on Thursday. Caleb is moving right a long. He measured at 35 weeks. I was 34 weeks and 4 days at the time of the check up. Dr. Morris says he is right on track! My blood pressure was good and the heart rate was nice and strong. I go back next week for the not so fun exam! Then she will be on vacation so i will skip a week and go back the following week. Dr. Morris did say he is slowly moving down. I can breathe again! But I get this awful pressure every time I have a Braxton Hicks contraction and it feels like he wants to push himself right out of me! not fun at all! Doc just told me to take it easy so he stays put!

Matt and I went to our birthing class last night. One of the couples wasn't there and the teacher said he water broke on Monday nite. She was only 32 weeks. She is in the hospital at Tacoma General getting drugs to keep her baby in for as long as possible. How scary!! We learned about c-sections last nite and practiced our breathing. Next week is our last week, then we should be pros at this whole giving birth thing. Yeah right!! I do feel like I have learned a lot so thats good.

This weekend is Shauna's baby shower. I am excited! I love watching what people get her. I still can't believe next weekend it will be my shower! That is so crazy to me! I love planning them and buying for them, now I will be the one playing the games and opening the gifts. It just seems so strange to me! Talk to you all soon!

Love,
Kelly

34 weeks!

Hi everyone! I know its been forever since I have posted an update. I'm sorry!! Here we are at 34 weeks! Can you believe it? less than 6 weeks left! I can't wait to meet Caleb! My work threw me a baby shower last week. it was fun! I got all kinds of clothes! Everyone at work was so nice and generous. It was so much fun bringing all the stuff home then going through it again with Matt, then putting it all away! I just love playing with his clothes! They are so small!

Matt and I have gone to 3 birthing classes so far. We have learned a lot of different breathing techniques, some good massage techniques and different positions to help me through labor. Last week we learned about all the different drugs that are available. Some of them scare me! As of right now my plan is to go as long as I can without any drugs. But we will see once I go into labor!

The Cady babies are doing great! I spent the morning with them last weekend and loved every minute of it! Miss Maggie even gave me 2 dirty diapers back to back! I got to feed her and love on them both. I just cant get enough of them! Tia is doing great! Talk about a super mom! She has a system down and makes it look easy. She was defiantly meant to be a mommy.

I am moving so much slower these days! I get tired by mid afternoon again. I swear my belly is growing everyday! I seem to think I am smaller than I really am! I try to squeeze behind a chair and almost get stuck! I am also very clumsy too. I keep running into things with my belly! I cut a corner too short and whack myself just about every time! I use to think I had a comfortable couch, but lately I can not find a comfortable position on it OH and the heartburn/acid from HELL! it has been so bad. I wake up at least 4 times a nite because I'm sure the acid has burned a hole right through my throat! The tums work long enough to get me back to sleep for about 2 hours then we do it all over again! Driving is getting harder too. It hurts to check my blind spots. Apparently I cant rotate that far anymore. Thats about all my complaints. I really think I have had a great pregnancy. *knocks on wood* I am so glad I didn't have to go through morning sickness and headaches and all the other not so fun stuff that can come with being pregnant.

So now I just wait and wonder what he will look like, will I be a good mom? All these crazy thoughts running through my head. I am so thankful for all of you! I know if I need anything I have so many people I can turn to. I am so blessed and loved!

Next Dr appointment is Thursday. I will let you know whats going on! Oh and here I am at 34 weeks. Large and in charge! love you all!
