day no 4

so it is now the end of day number 4 of being overdue for our lil lady. the aches, pains & soreness is increasing which is a good sing but i am just ready to go & get this show on the road. the ultrasound went swimmingly; she is content, happy, has enough fluids, getting just what she needs from the umbilical-cord & we wait more. LoL altho our plan of action now is that if she is still stubborn over the weekend & we get to Sunday then we are heading on in to start the show. we also found out that she is about 8 lbs. apparently being in post-dates the numbers aren't very accurate but hey if the diameter of her head was correct then i am good to go. it was just about 9cm & i dilate to 10cm which is a perfect little squeeze. thank you for that lil lady. so that is where we are now, waiting some more. hopefully by monday/tuesday i can blog from the hospital giving you all kinds of details about our llil lady, her arrival & even pictures. ah! i can not wait.
happy friday night!

19th of november.

okay. so it is now the 19th of november, 3 days past our due date of the arrival of our lil lady olivia rose* aah! and i am beyond ready to go, well not really i am terrified to go thru the actual "beauty of life" but i am so ready for my lil lady to snuggle, hold, love, look at UH! i just can't wait to see her. we are officially ready! bassinet is finally set up (last piece of the puzzle), car-seat has been installed, changing table is up & ready, crib has been set up for weeks, she has her cute girlie stickers on her wall, and snugglebutt is now telling us it's time (before it was too early! LoL) everything is in it's place & waiting to be used. we have picked out her "coming home outfit" which is the cutest, pale pink outfit. it came in this gorgeous box it's the buttoned shirt, pale pink pants, cute pale pink hat, white mittens, then we also have her handmade harrington blanket, her cute pale pink snowsuit that has ears on the hood & we are just so excited. paperwork is filled out for pre-registration for the hospital stay, boppy pillow is right next to the bags (was told that it is a must have in the hospital) we are just ready lil lady so come on.

but we are off this morning to see the doctor for the third time in a week. we also are going for an ultrasound to make sure she is still content, because that fabulous stress test told us that she was just a happy lil peach in there with no want at all to come out. so maybe all the pains i had the other night & the sudden urge to clean/organize/prep for her arrival have meant something & we have made some progress. until next time bloggers! hopefully it'll be all about our precious lil lady.

happy thursday!

the day has come & gone

so today i am sitting comfy in my big bed with my down comforter, body pillow, Roscoe teddy bear, and fluffy green blanket in my bedroom of my great new apartment with my beloved* blogging about how today is the due date of our lil miss olivia rose*s arrival. yup! went for a stress test & checkup. we got nothing! nothing! no chance in dilation, no contractions being monitored & she is just a happy little peach in my oversized, over-stretched belly. yay* we now have another appointment on thursday for an ultrasound to see what she's doing in there; making sure she isn't cramped, is facing the correct way (i personally don't think she is but i have been reassured numerous times she is), and then to discuss our plan of action with the doctor. my beloved* & i are hoping for asap. maybe getting her out thursday or friday, but we'll go as late as monday. apparently we have to check into the doctor's & hospital's schedules, cross your fingers really on thursday for us. she's coming, she is just taking her precious time. but as one of my beloved*s friends said i should enjoy the last few days of pampering while i have them. and man am i. my beloved* is amazing (i of course have to do some stuff or i'll just go nuts) but he brings in the groceries, went thru/moved boxes, we are getting our brand new dryer soon!, he scrubbed our tub so i could take a warm bubble bath, he even rubbed my feet during the stress test! and he hates feet, and my feet are pretty yes but they are swollen to a point where it's like 'who's feet are those hanging off the table? not mine no way.' so that's pretty much where we are, just hanging around waiting for something to begin, if not things will begin whether she likes it or not. LoL and our snugglebutt is wicked excited! unfortunately he can not come visit us in the hospital due to the h1n1 outbreak this fall but he will still be absolutely adorable to watch when he first lays his big brown handsome eyes on her & gets to snuggle her. he wants to hug & kiss her he tells us all the time. he'll kiss or rub the belly and says 'i do it this way until she comes, i can't wait until she comes' and smiles! cutest kid ever!

well fellow bloggers. i am off; maybe rocking in my chair, walking around the apartment, or yet another warm bath will set her off tonight we'll see. happy monday! almost tuesday.

who knew.

today we have our weekly checkup. so i am sitting here awaiting the clock to hit the hour we need to leave the house & head on out, for some reason i want to bring all of our belongings with us LoL idk why but you never know. but i am dying of anticipation of olivia rose*s arrival. at the beginning of the pregnancy i was terrified; of it all, the epidural, the pain to the actual labor, being someone's mother! just the entire concept of it all, i wasn't very sure on whether or not i wanted it all. but here we are! and i am so excited. i am excited to finally have this buddha belly over-with LoL, meet our lil miss olivia rose*, move on from just the boring routine of where we were, and to honestly start a family with my beloved*. i wasn't sure i wanted it but seeing him with his mini me, snugglebutt i am always just put back a little & just stunned at how amazingly patience he is. how much a phenomenal man he is as well, couldn't have had this "accident" happen with anyone better or at the fact that he wants me back as much as i do. =) gasp. i am getting all emotional.

but enough of that mushy stuff, we are off to check on our little girls progress hopefully we have made a good amount & are moving onto the next step. until next one fellow bloggers. happy thursday!

happy veteran's day.

first & foremost HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!

i would like to thank all who are serving, have served, will serve, gave their lives, gave their loved ones, in order to make this country what it is today without those men/women who knows where we would be as a nation. Horrible things have happened to this country & we have prospered time & time again due to these brave men/women altho times are though & we feel as though things are horrible these men/women believe in something we do not see everyday due to the media, government & politics as long as those men/women believe & feel things are worth salvaging we need to support & back them up to the fullest, regardless of our own views.
so thank you to our bravest men/women of our beautiful nation.

poor news from last nights tour. tours are cancelled indefinitely due to the flu & swine flu outbreak (which i am okay with because i will be there in a week or two) found out that children under the age of 18 are not permitted to visit people in the hospital, we are only allowed 2 healthy visitors at a time, and all the pregnant women were pressured to receive the h1n1 flu shot. blah! so as soon as i walked in they tell me "hey no tour, no kids & get that damn shot" i was a little overwhelmed with emotions & literally had to hold back the tears. LoL damn pregnancy has made me so emotional LoL hate it. so we did get a lot of information about the hospital, the h1n1 flu vaccine they want me to get & it's free!, my questions answered but the whole visiting situation still has me a little upset but what am i to do.

the contractions, back pain & pretty much point of no return ready for this baby out of me has hit me. and i am SO beyond ready for this baby to come out LoL but we will continue our wait game & be patience LoL we have a new task at hand, how to tell our snugglebutt who has been so excited/nervous on how he's getting to the hospital that he can not come. ugh! this poor lil man has been so thrilled to meet his lil sister this is going to hurt.

a tour of all tours.

well today we go on a tour of the maternity ward where we will be welcoming lil miss olivia rose* into our world. i am so excited! i honestly am hoping maybe, just maybe my water will break while we are there. LoL that'd be too easy right, already in the maternity ward with my 2 coaches & my water breaks. LoL wishful thinking. but still i am wicked excited to see the nursery, maybe see some lil peanuts, see my room where i will be spending two long days, maybe more. and my beloved* is highly concerned with the cafeteria food LoL my man loves to eat. altho i have a feeling if we ask anyone to bring us up some food they'd do it in a second for us.

not much else going on. had a few "real contractions" yesterday/last night hoping it continues & pickups but we'll see. we are trying everything to induce labor but it seems she may really be our baby; on time - she's me, late - she's my beloved*, altho i usually am early by 15 minutes, i was taught on time you're late & early you're on time. LoL but we'll see what this little lady thinks.

we had our snugglebutt yesterday and he says to me 'yeah know jen thanksgiving is soon & santa will come too, you said olivia will be here before thanksgiving" he is absolutely adorable, so concerned with her arrival & he also got extremely nervous about how he was getting to the hospital, with all of the people in our families i told him he has no need to worry he will be there. he also told me "my olivia biscuits rose* will beautiful like jen" gasp! kid is a killer.

but that is all for today. very exciting evening coming up, gotta go prepare. you never know what the night may entail.

week 39.

so we are now at week 39. 1 more "scheduled" week to go. oh man! am i ready. my mother just got a crib from my aunt yesterday so she says she is ready too so now olivia rose* can really come LoL but i've been ready for weeks. but i am at a point where i am kind of waiting to hear about my dear friend julie's baby isabella, she is having surgery & it is being scheduled this week so i want to be mobile & able to get to my dear friend julie. her 7 week old (tomorrow!) baby is the cutest lil lady in the world & i love them both so dearly that i want to just be there & hold her hand. sigh. the things that go on man, mind-blowing.

well we had a very "interesting" to say the least weekend this weekend. saw both (immediate) families yesterday, snagged a bunch! of really yummy food from both houses & snugglebutt saw his cousins, grandparents & aunts. so continuing the waiting game we will do, happy monday!

sitting.waiting.wishing.

so we are still in week 38. went to our weekly checkup & have made no progress in the moving closed to lil miss olivia rose*s arrival. but hey! they say you can be 1 centimeter dilated for weeks & then bam! all of a sudden drop & have your water break so who knows. i can say that my braxton hicks "practice contractions" are getting more intense on me & she is sitting her lil butt right on my liver/ribs, very uncomfortable so whenever she is ready let's do this. i have two friends of mine; kaiti & ryan, that i can text/call for any gruesome, detailed, icky questions about the pregnancy, they love it i swear! so i send them a text this afternoon & they wig out on me; what are are you saying, what's going on. omg! ladies relax! it's just a question LoL.

i guess i don't have much to say other than i am ready! LoL altho at the same time i am still afraid/nervous of the unknown. my beloved* & i both feel that if i need to go in after being 7 days late & be scheduled to be induced then that may make me more comfortable. LoL i have issues with lining up all my belongings, making a list & checking it 4 times to make sure that i have everything plus! i will have more of a chance to get my big booty in the whirlpool tub if things are in a slow escalation.

well i guess that is all for the night fellow bloggers. we are just sitting here playing the waiting game now. happy saturday!

week 38.

so today we are heading to the doctor's office for our weekly checkup today, we are exactly 38 weeks & 3 days today. and honestly when every woman told me that the last month is the worst i know believe them! LoL i was told the entire pregnancy 'oh this will be bad, oh this was bad for me, i heard this, blah blah blah' i honestly (( thank goodness )) had a great pregnancy up to like 2-3 weeks ago! this lil lady has lodged either her butt or legs in my right ribs & oh man is it sore, painful & seriously uncomfortable! we were a centimeter dilated last week when we went for our checkup, but for those who have been pregnant or with someone who was pregnant knows that i could be a centimeter dilated the entire last month & even the extra week. so i am hoping that we are a little further along.
guesses have begun to come in as to when this lil lady will come into our world. my dad personally feels, since all the men on both sides of the family are huge Patriots/football fans & we had a by-week last week she'll come Sunday. LoL i also have the Monday the 9th, 10th 14th, 16th (our due date) & then also have the 20th. they say ( doctor's, experts, etc ) that women are usually late with their first baby & not typically early. i personally feel i have been the "text-book pregnancy" with a lot so i feel i will be late! fantastic right. as long as she comes healthy & i come thru healthy that's all that matters to us.

happy thursday bloggers & happy NaBloPoMo.

NaBloPoMo

WoW. I have been on here a year now. What a year man; lots of stuff has happened, changed & moved away. I personally would like to make the attempt to do the NaBloPoMo challenge again this year but I know that won't happen. Being pregnant I have already forgotten about it & missed day 1 and will have at least 1-3 days I will not be worried about where the computer/blogging world stands due to the fact I'm having my own lil peanut coming this month. And then we come home, we have snugglebutt, Thanksgiving this month will mark a huge change for us & all of us could not be more excited about it. I personally love how snugglebutt keeps saying "my baby this, my baby that" I called him out the other day & said okay so since Olivia is "our" baby then you are on diaper duty. He had a big ol' smirk on his face & said nooo! Didn't think it would fly; but he does wanted part of the tubby time, snuggles, kisses & he can't wait to hold her! He is so cute. But back to the topic, I would like to wish the rest of the blogging world luck on NaBloPoMo! Happy blogging! Happy Fall!
