40 weeks- and still preggo!

Who would have thought I would make it this far? I was expecting to have her a week - or two - ago. I guess she must be comfortable where she is, as for me, I am getting uncomfortable. Jared said tonight I don't look as pregnant- I think she has dropped. I go back into my doctor tomorrow and I will try to talk him to starting me in the near future. Hopefully by the first of next week, we will see what he says! I am happy she has stayed as long as she has because now I now she will have fully developed lungs and will be healthy! BUT we are ready- so is my Mom and Jared's parents, my sister and every other person I know!

39 weeks

I'm looking a little bit more pregnant, don't ya think?

We finally got moved in and got our Internet back so I can update my blog. I went into the Dr. yesterday for a checkup and now I'm at a 2+ and still 80% effaced. At least now my Dr. is back in town, so I am ready to go any day now. HE will let me go a week over- I go back in on Thursday a day after my due date. Guess we will see what happens.
We also have almost everything put away, a few things to hang up and a couple more boxes to unpack. I am done working now- though Jared thinks I should work next week too! The kids in my class were really cute yesterday. They got permission from our director to wear purple (they wear uniforms) because it is my favorite color. They made me this big sign that said "We love you Mrs. Young", sang me a few songs and had a little party because I am done working, it did make me cry- as well as most of the girls in my class. They were sad to see me go but I told them I would be back to visit. We are just waiting now for the baby to arrive.

We are in the process of moving, all our stuff in is in the garage and front room. Jared's Dad is painting some bedrooms and we need to clean the carpets. The fridge will come on Monday, so hopefully by then we will be living in the house.
I went to the Doctor yesterday- no change from last week. Still about a 2 and 80%. I know that things can change pretty fast but my Doctor says "think that you might go a week over, most first time Mom's go 4 days over"- not something I want to hear at this point! BUT I have been patient and just need to be patient a little bit more. She will be here before we know it.

37 week checkup

At my appointment today I was 1 1/2 (he said 1 +) and 80 % effaced, so I guess I am progressing. He also had to search for Maren's heartbeat, which I knew she was fine because she was moving right before Dr. Irion came in it still made me nervous! BUT once he found her heartbeat he said "There is a good heartbeat", she just wanted to make me jump I guess. We go back in next Thursday- the same day we are able to move into the house. My doctor is also going out of town for a week- to Cancun- can't say I blame him but it will be weird to have another doctor deliver me if it happens to be the week he is gone. I guess we deal with it when/if it happens!

Update

We found a house to rent in the same stake, it is in Kiowa Valley..for those of you that know where that is. We are pretty happy about it and can move in on April 15th. Hopefully the baby will stay where she is for now, but if not we will just deal with it. I have been having some braxton hicks contractions which are just getting me prepared I guess. They aren't hurting just a lot of tightening. I go back in on Wednesday and we will see if I have made any progress. As of last Thursday I was 1 1/2 cm dilated and 70 % effaced. I guess now would be the time to get my bags packed. What do I take to the hospital?
