It has been a while since I have posted a blog. I have been getting more tired in the evenings after work. I just realized that if I post a blog every week until Laney arrives, I will only have to write three or four more times!
This week I will be 37 weeks pregnant, which is considered FULL TERM! That means that Laney can be born now, and should be a healthy little baby girl! However, I still have a little more than three weeks until my due date. I am sure she will come late, but for some reason I have a feeling Laney is going to come before her due date. We have a website where you can vote on Laney's birthday and birth statistics. So far Friday the 13th (AHH) of March seems to be the most popular day. Make sure you go and vote, because we are getting the winner something special!
As for the nursery it is finally complete, and it has our hospital bags all packed and waiting in there. I am hoping to go into labor at home so that Jordan and I can grab the bags and all the odds and ends that we are using and cannot pack yet, like the laptop and digital camera :) Also, we have to take the dogs to my parents and get the house all locked up. I find myself over thinking everything WAY too much. I want our house to be spotless at all times, because you never know when the time will come and I want Laney coming home to a nice clean house. Besides the fact, I won't have the energy to clean for a while once Laney arrives. As I am typing this blog, I just realized I should make sure the heat is on the entire time when we are gone, because I don't want to bring our baby home into a freezing cold house! As you can tell my brain is racing a million miles a minute, because I just want everything to be perfect.
Throughout the pregnancy I have been dreaming A LOT more than normal, but the past week my dreams have increased! I didn't think it was possible, but each night I feel like I am dreaming the entire night long while waking every one to two hours to use the restroom. Remember Christmas Eve night as a child, that is how I feel every night lately!
I am now going to the doctor weekly, and everything is still looking great. My blood pressure is still down and I am still in the right range for weight gain, but man I sure am starting to gain the wait now.. AHHH :) I guess that is good, because that means Laney is growing. She is suppose to be gaining one ounce a day. I am still feeling really good, but I am starting to get swollen! It really doesn't hurt, but I had to take my wedding ring off. I really didn't want that to happen, but it is better than cutting the circulation off to my finger or getting my ring cut off. I am looking forward to putting that back on! My feet are also starting to become swollen, but my doctor said that is because I am on them all day long at work. I just need to keep my feet up as much as possible, drink plenty of fluids, and try to avoid salt as much as possible. At my appointment next week they will check to see if I am STREP B positive, and I am hoping she might be able to tell me that my cervix is making progress toward labor. :) They look at two things 1. How dilated you are and 2. how effaced or how soft your cervix is. I am hoping that I am slowly, but surely making some progress in at least one of those areas.
Well I think we are pretty much ready. We just have a few things to do here and there, but this week I washed all the sheets, blankets, and cute little outfits! It was so much fun doing her laundry, and I just LOVED when I would clean the lint trap out and it was all pink fuzz!! Jordan says at least once a week, what would we do if it is a boy. This question DRIVES ME NUTS when he asks, but I guess you never know 100% until they are born right. We have all heard stories about this.
I better go get ready... Jordan and I are going to enjoy our last Valentine's Day as a "single" couple by going out to a japanese steak house and a movie. I promise to blog more often as the time comes. We called the hospital and they have wireless internet, so we will have someone post updates as we arrive at the hospital and welcome little Laney into this world!!! We just can't wait to meet and snuggle our little bundle of joy.
