+3 and 4

40 weeks and 3 days along today. Finally starting to get really really uncomfortable. The heartburn last night was epic and so not fun. 4 days to induction, my ob will be back today, and my mom will be back in 2 days. I think I can, I think I can....

+2 and 5

Ehhh, still hanging in there. Getting really tired now though. And my hips are starting to feel geriatric. He will come out eventually.

+1 and 6

Today marks the official longest I have every carried a child within me. 40+1 day. 6 days to induction. Kid, I really do NOT want to go the pitocin route again- so if you could see fit to start working your way into the world the night of the 3rd so you come the non-medicated way on the 4th, it would be much appreciated by all involved.

0 and 7

So, today is my due date. My ob would argue that its actually tomorrow based on lmp, but based on early sonogram and the actions that lead to conception I say my due date is today. That being said we still have no baby to fill the swings and bassinet and crib and car seat and...well you get it.

So, today we are at 0 days to my due date and 7 days to induction. Yes indeed, if baby is too stubborn to join this family he will be evicted the hard way on the 4th of July. I've been telling people that since he's my last and he knows it he wants to go out with a bang- and music. Typical boy- late for his own party and trying to make a splashy entrance lol. I'm actually okay with going over a week to have a 4th of July baby as it means his family will always have that day off and we won't have to work as hard to schedule his party with a weekend.  And, I mean, who doesn't want fireworks and a huge party on their birthday?!

Anyway, we had one night where I thought he was going to come and then by the next morning- nada, zip, zero, zilch! But, like I said, I'm okay with it! So I will leave you with some pictures...

The bassinet...waiting, waiting, waiting....

The baby's nook in our bedroom.

The other part of the baby's nook in our bedroom.

And lastly, me @ 40 weeks. Please ignore the pj pants lol.

19 and counting

As of today we have 19 days to our due date of June 27th (give or take). At my last appointment my ob begged me to have this baby in the next week or so because he's so big. Infact my doc estimates that if we should make it to the due date we would be easily looking at a 9-10 lb. baby boy. Which means currently we are sitting at 37 weeks (yay for being term!) and already he's about 8 lbs. None of this is a surprise to me. Thing are starting to progress down there, so I feel we have the week to week and a half to make it to week 40 left in us. I am starting to get very uncomfortable though due to Mr. Man being sooooo very tall (taller than the girls it seems- or maybe he just likes to spread out more). So we will keep on going until he decided he's ready to make a grand entrance, whenever that may be. Doc will only allow me to go to 41 weeks because he's presenting as a large baby and given my past history of large babies- which mean jr will be evicted by July 5th if not sooner. So I will leave you with some pictures :-)

 36 weeks in these (acutally 36 and a little more). :-)

 At 35 weeks, my little thumb sucker. Profile facing right and sucking his hand/thumb.

And last, a sneek peek of PJ and Weston's red white and blue western bed room. This is Weston's side, PJ's isnt done yet, her bed is in need of sanding and painting still.

Happy Birthday Pepper Jeannette!

On Tuesday my Pepper Jeannette will turn 2. I am not completely sure where the last 2 years went. It really does feel like only a few days ago we were in the hospital. Anyway, we celebrated her second birthday today. She had a garden flower party at the park! We had a lovely day and are truly blessed to have such amazing family and friends in our lives.

Baby at 32 weeks

 We had our 32 week check today, and doctor Beck did a quick ultra sound for me so that we could make sure baby was still Weston and not Dally.

So here is close up of his face..LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS!!!





Here are the rest of the pictures from today. In the strip on the left ou will see a face, heart beat, and boy parts. On the right the top two are face shots and the bottom is a profile of him. Only 8 weeks to go until our due date!!
