Will it happen before friday???

Went to the doctor today and I am 3cm dilated and 80% effaced!  Whohoo!  She told me that she thinks this baby will come on his own before friday.  We shall see.  I have been having a ton of braxton hicks contractions lately so clearly my uterus is warming up for the real thing. 
I have [...]

Peace out PTO

Today is my last offical day “at work”.  I will be working from home tomorrow and wednesday and I took a sick day on thursday.  I will be sticking a note on my office door saying something along the lines of “Don’t come a knockin’ until August 4th–cuz I ain’t here!” So exciting. 
 
 

Sleepy

This morning I woke up at 430am and could not fall back asleep.  I laid in bed thinking “hmm if I had a baby to take care of right now I would be totally okay with waking up this early because I am wide awake”.  And then I started thinking about how if I got up [...]

We have decided…

May 2nd is the day we will induce.  Hopefully Baby J will come earlier on his own, but if not we will definitely have a baby on May 2nd.  My mom is going to come out May 1st so she will be here for the induced birth which makes me happy because I think I [...]

Sno cones :)

OMG–I am working at home right now and I hear in the distance the “pop goes the weasel” song.  It is the ICE CREAM MAN!!!  I hear him but I can’t see him.  He is taunting me and I want to be 12 again and jump on my bike and go searching from him thru the [...]

I will not be pregnant forever

This is exactly what the doctor told me yesterday at my last appointment.  Whew.  She said that I am dilated 2 cm and my cervix is soft.  Yay–Baby J is coming.  But she did tell me that they will not let me go past 40 weeks due to my single vessel umbilical cord.  So she said [...]

Smores, cookies and Shrek feet

We spend friday night by Kyle and Bethany’s where we grilled out and then proceeded to make a bonfire–where I ate a crap load of chocolate chip cookies (so good!) and smores.  I was actually craving the cookies the next morning and so when I showed up at the Balsis household the next morning (not [...]

It took almost 2 years

Jeremy and I got married almost 2 years ago and today (yes today) we finally got our “offical” wedding book from the photographer.  We have had the proofs for a while but I could not decide on how I wanted the book laid out or what pictures I wanted to use.  Anyway–it is finally done [...]

TV talk

Two shows that I feel the need to discuss: American Idol and Biggest Loser
First off, American Idol–David Cook rocks!  enough said. 
Secondly, Biggest Loser (don’t read on if you have not seen it yet)–So happy that Roger was one of the finalists but congrats to Ali for winning the whole thing.  But I must say that she [...]

Plan for May

These are the words that came out of my doctors mouth today.  She told me that while the baby’s head is really low, my cervix is still not ready.  She said “plan for may”.  Totally not what I was wanting to hear.  but that is fine.  I can survive a couple more weeks–maybe.
Also I got [...]
