Long Overdue....

I'm still here...even though I am sleep deprived and I feel like a milking cow.
We had our baby on April 16th after being induced on the 15th due to high blood pressure. All along I felt we were having a girl, and apparently my intuition was correct :) Elizabeth Ann made her grand entrance at 2:07pm and weighed 7lbs 7oz and was 20" long. She is a very sweet baby and even though I am tired all of the time I love her to pieces!
Here are some pics...Hopefully I will be able to write more about her birth soon....writing with one hand is hard :)

Still no baby...

It's Wednesday. My due date was this past Monday. Still no baby.
This brings me to people asking stupid questions....
Why do people think it is necessary, or their business, to ask me some really personal questions?!?!?!!
Am I dialated? Why yes, I am, only to about a 1-1.5, but yes I am. Would you like to check me to see if I am anymore dialated??
Did you have sex yet to see if that gets labor going??? Why yes, I am having sex with my husband, do you want me to text you when we do it next and let you know if that initiates labor?
Have you walked? Have you scrubbed the floor? Have you chopped some wood (someone put this on my Facebook status today...)??
I don't mind when friends ask me things, or if they give me advice. I know they mean well and want this baby out as bad as we do. But its when random people, usually coworkers, ask me these things that it really gets to me.
Grr.....
Sorry to vent, but I have to be nice to the randoms that give me advice. I don't want to be a b*tch :)
And to my real life friends, I am not talking about you in this post. Promise :)
Hopefully this kid comes out soon...but if not, I will be induced next Monday night. Let's hope it doesn't come to that!!

40 Weeks

 Here we are.....today is my due date. I was hoping the baby would be prompt like I usually am, but alas, that is not that case. Oh well. We have an induction set for next Monday evening/Tuesday if the babe hasn't shown up by then. I can last another week right? And if s/he decides to show up before then, great. If not...I guess I will have an extra week off in July. Can't be all bad... ;)

 

Maternity clothes:

Yup. I love sweatpants too.
 

Sleep:

It depends on the night.

Movement:

Yup...this is a pretty active little child.

Food cravings:

There isn't anything I just HAVE to have...

Food aversions:

Actually eating meals doesn't appeal to me b/c I get so full so fast. 

Gender:

???????

What I'm looking forward to:

Having this baby...

What I miss:

Sleeping on my back. Wine. Wearing regular jeans.

Milestones:

Made it to the due date...but no baby. Oh well. S/he will come when they are ready, even though I am most definitely ready. And I am at work today. Boo.

39 Weeks

I'm kind of over these updates. I am ready for my due date to get here, or the baby. Whichever comes first! ;) I know I said like 2 weeks ago I wanted to go til my due date. Well I can take that back if I want. 

I'll be fine if I go that long, but I definitely won't be too concerned if the babe comes before that. 

I'm anxious for this whole show to get going. I have a minor breakdown this weekend b/c the whole unknown of it all scares the crap out of me. I'm sure it will all turn out fine...I just don't like waiting and not knowing! :)

 

Maternity clothes:

Yes. I feel like some of my shirts are getting too short...
 

Sleep:

Blah.

Movement:

Yeah, a lot of the times it gets painful at this point.

Food cravings:

Sugar.

Food aversions:

Actually eating meals doesn't appeal to me b/c I get so full so fast. 

Gender:

Salads....and I still ate one for lunch. Yuck.

What I'm looking forward to:

Having this baby...

What I miss:

Sleeping on my back. Wine. Wearing regular jeans.

Milestones:

One week until the due date. Good enough for me.
