Johnny

Johnny"s been great. He"s happy and healthy and pretty much eats all day.
He was born the 14th at 8 lbs 5 oz and was 21 inches long. His size is impressive because I never got that big of a baby bump.....I never even bought maternity pants.
Anyway, enough chatter, Here he is!

40 Weeks

Tomorrow is my baby's due date. I really hope he comes. We have a doctor's appointment this afternoon and he had better have made some progress! I'll let you know how it goes . . .

Well. . . still no progress. Still at a 2 and 75% effaced. If there's no baby by our next appointment on Monday then the doctor will induce on Tuesday, so at an absolute maximum, one week till baby time.

Bleck.

Bleck. I'm kind of in a bad mood today.
Meh, oh well. Maybe I'll just go to bed early.
I woke up this morning really thinking that it was going to be a good day because I slept so well last night. Maybe tomorrow.

39 Weeks

Well, yesterday we went in for our appointment and the progress was . . . dilated to a two and 75% effaced. If that's sounding vaguely familiar to anybody it's because that's the same as last week. The very same as seven days ago. What this means is that the baby has been sitting around doing absolutely nothing for an entire week. Seriously? Get a move on, kid.

The official due date is exactly one week and I was kind of hoping he'd be a few days early. (My original wish was that he'd be a week or two early but we missed that boat.) Now I'm beginning to wonder if he will ever come at all. We have a Halloween party with Blake's family coming up and we already had a great idea for costumes but like I was telling Blake, I'm not sure we'll make it to the party if the kid is only a few days old. (I'm being a little bit dramatic. The party isn't until the 28th, but still, my friend just had a baby and she was ten days late. Ten days puts us on the 22nd which makes the baby six days old for the party . . .) we'll see what happens I guess.

Nine Months Pregnant

I came across a really funny article that was: You know you're nine months pregnant when. . . . If I didn't know before, I definitely know now because I agreed with every one of them.
We have a doctor's appointment today. I'm really hoping that something great will happen like me going in there and the doctor saying, "Wow. This baby is coming out RIGHT NOW!" Hey, a girl can dream.
Today is 38 weeks. Fourteen days. Last week I was dilated to a 2 and 25% effaced. Here's hoping for some real progress!



Back from the doctor . . .
Still at a 2 but now 75% effaced. Guess that's good. The baby won't be born tonight, but it's progress.

Nothing New

Here's a funny picture. Our dog likes to take things out her doggy door and this was a failed attempt. It's the biggest pillow in our house. Don't ask. I have no idea what she was wanting to do with it in the backyard.




Here' hoping the next post includes baby pictures.

Sleep

Sleep. Where are you? I didn't sleep last night and I ended up sleeping in until ten, and then at eleven taking a nap that lasted until 1:30. Needless to say, I did nothing productive.
Now it's looking like I'm going to have one of those days again. It's 12:50 and I just crawled out of bed. I'd been trying to sleep since 10:30 with no luck. Now I'm drinking hot chocolate and eating a roll.

Anyway, we had a doctor's appointment today. I am dilated to a 2 and 25% effaced. The doctor said that now that I'm 37 weeks, the baby could come any time and that it is really hard to predict. He did, however, say at the end of our appointment, "Ok, see you next week - if you haven't had the baby by then." Which got my hopes up - a ton! It was just a minute earlier he mentioned induction if the baby isn't here by 41 weeks. So really, who knows. But having a baby this week sounds a lot more fun than being pregnant for another three, so that's my plan. We'll see what the baby has in mind.
And I'm off to bed.
Maybe if I still can't sleep later I'll come back and finish the story about Annyong that I left so abruptly last time.
