Well this week has been a bit stressful. I have not been feeing well for the past couple of days. I also have just been so anxious to get everything all set up and realy for her arrival. So we finally got Julianna's matress for her crib and i set it up the other day. It looks so cute i love it! Matthew and also went to Babies R Us and bought some little oufits for Julianna. The newborn outfits are so tiny and cute! So i had my Dr.s appt today and her heartbeat is 135 bpm. Also i found out some scary news that i am already 3cm dialiated and i could go into labor at any moment! My Dr. told me I need to take things really slow and that i have to drink a ton of water. He is going to keep a close eye on me b/c e does'nt want her comming so early. So i think that my due date is going to be sooner then it is soposto be. I just hope i make it to my baby shower and chicken wing festival!! Also my dr. said that baby feels to be around 6lbs 5 oz. right now. He estimated that she will be around 7-7.5 lbs when she is born. So she will not be big like i though she was going to be like me and Matt. I was 9lbs and Matt was 8.5 lbs. I just hope everything goes smoothly and she doesent come too early!

So this week has been very tiring. I haven't been feeling well and i have been getting really bad false labor pains. It was so bad Sunday night i called my Dr. He said i could take some Tylenol and that i needed to relax. Im nervous that im going to go into actual labor and not even know it. I hd my Dr.s appt today and everything went smoothly. Julianna's heart beat was 142bpm and i hadent gained any weight..yaya! But the wierd part was that he said that i need to be gaining weight! I was like what!?! No i don't...but i guess that calls for some chicken wings tonight..haha! So also i thought that i had'nt dropped b/c my boobs pretty much rest on my stomach and everyone tells me i havent dropped..but i asked my doctor and he said that she had dropped and i could go into labor any day now! Also he said that i was far enough along to have a healthy little one! He also told me that she was going to be a good size baby but last time he told me she was 6.5lbs now he says that she feels around 7lbs so i don't know what to expect when i have her! Well my baby shower is next weekend, i hope I can hold on till then..just one more week!

Today i had my exam and they did an internal and im still 3cm dialiated so no progress.:0( Julianna's Heartbeat is 142 bpm witch is good. But the worst thing happened.. my doctor told me there was gonig to be a little bleeding after, well that wasent how it went. I got home and started to walk into the house and i felt a gush like i just peeed my pants, i was like THIS IS IT! Then i called my Dr. and told him what i felt and when i looked it was all blood so i was freeking out. So i called Matt and he rushed home so he could take me back to the Dr. so he could check what happened. I realy though my water broke and it was mixed w/ blood due to the exam. So when we were were waiting to get examned i was like bleeding all over the place. (yeah it was nasty) I though for sure that I was leeking. The Dr. checked me and said it was just from the exam and he pulled out a huge clot! I was like omg what did you do to me!? But he gave me some large pads for the bleeding and that was that. He also checked a sample to see if there was any membrane fluid in the blood but there wasent so i was sent home...:0( I felt so bad b/c i had gotten matt out of work and he was really excited. But i guess shes not ready. I was so nervous though now with that scare i know im really not 100% ready yet! Also today my great uncle died and I don't want to share her birth with the death of my grandfathers brother. My baby showers on Sunday yaya im really excited for it.

Thursday, 28 August

Well this week has been short, short short! So last night I was at work getting really strong contractions that hurt so bad. I was about ready to call my doctor when i got home just to see what he had to say but when i got home they fadded off. That night i was really moody as well. I was crying for no reason and i was really mean! So today i had my dr.s appt. I gained a pound when i thought i gained alot more then that cuz i ate like a pig this week! So Julianna's heartbeat is 135bpm. My blood pressure was a little high and i had a slight headache but my doctor wasent overly concerned about it witch was good. Also i have made a little bit of pregress i am now between 3-4 cm dialated 80% effaced and at a -2. When i got there my doctor was shocked b/c he though for sure she would be here by now. So my next Dr.s appt was scheduled for the next thursday but since its so lose to my due date he made me switch it to tuesday b/c im going to be checked then hopfully induced by next week wed. or thursday!!! Im really excited that i know theres an end to this pregnancy in a week or less! I can't wait to meet her. My dr. will be out of town till monday night so i really hope that i don't go into labor early!! I want him to deliver my baby b/c im am most conftrable with him. My last day of work is September 1st b/c my boss is selfish and wants off for labor day..i know i know some people just care about them slefs and no one else but im strong i can deal with a couple more days of work!

Tuesday, 2 September

Aggh im so sick and tired of being pregnant its not even funny. On friday had to go to L&D b/c my foot was swollen and they thought i might have had preeclampsia. But after spending 2 hours in there hooked up and after they butchered my arm drawing blood (i have a huge bruse on my arm from it) they found out it was nothing so i was sent home. So i had my doctors appt today hoping that he would set a date for my induction this week...nope. I went in and he told me that you have to be overdue for the hospital to induce you. He also was dumb founded on the fact that i still havent given birth yet. So today he stripped my membranes and let me tell you that hurt so bad! So now i am having really bad contractions from it and im am spotting a little bit. Oh yea and since Thursday i have become another cm dialiated so now im 5 cm..yep and no baby to be seen...:9( So now my next Dr.s appt is for Monday and he is then going to induce me on tuesday if theres no sign of her..witch ha there is no sign of her so im going to have to wait a whole nother week. Her heartbeat was 125bpm and I gained 1/2 lb. witch was a shock b/c i thought that i would have gained alot more due to all the chicken wings i ate on Saturday! I also have been cleaning so much latley. Today i like cleaned X a million. Im finally done with work witch feels really nice b/c it was getting so stressful and siting in that chair was so uncomfortable! Ok well ill update if anything hapens before monday...witch it will not.
