WOW I will be 39 weeks tomorrow, and NO baby yet. I definitely thought she would be here by now. But now I see that she definitely is not! And won't be for a while. POOO
Sunday March 30th
Sooo I am VERY worried that I will be going over my due date!! I just don't know how much longer I can take being pregnant. I am tryin so hard to enjoy these last days but it's so hard when I am this uncomfy. I am in pain the whole night when I attempt to sleep. I am all the sudden VERY emotional and I HATE it. I'm a wreck. And it makes me so mad that I went into preterm labor 3 times and now that it's ok for her to come she shows absolutely NO signs of coming anytime soon. I just feel like I will be pregnant forever, even though I know I won't. I am just soo ready for her. I am about to cry right now thinking about it. I HATE HORMONES!!! Anyways I just needed to vent!! PLEASE COME SOON BABY!! MOMMY WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU!!
Friday March 28th
Well I tried castor oil last night at about 10:30pm and it started working at 1:30 am. But pretty much all it did was give me terrible diarreah, gas, and a tummy ache. No signs of baby anytime soon. GRRRRR I think she'll be in there till she is 18!! 
Thursday March 27th
Well I went to my 38 weeks appt. today and am sad to report that I have not made any progress since week 36!!! GRRRR....I hate this waiting game. He did say that he could feel the babies soft spot on her head, so I guess thats good that she is that low. He also said I would probably at least make it one more week. So we shall see! COME ON BABY I'M DYIN TO MEET YOU!!! 
Wednesday March 26th
Well my 38 weeks appt. is tomorrow!! My OB told me that he WILL be checking my cervix this week. Im so happy!! PLEASE GOD JUST LET ME BE FAR ENOUGH THAT HE WILL JUST INDUCE ME!!!! Im dyin here....lol not really, im just VERY uncomfortable.
Thursday March 20th
My 37 week OB appt. is today!!! Hopefully we will find that I am more dialated and more effaced!! Last time I was checked I was 21/2 cm dialated and 70% effaced. I am just hoping that I will be 4 cm dialated and 100% effaced so that he may just decide to induce me....that would be cool with me. My pubic bone and hips hurt so bad I cry when I turn over in bed. I also have to pee like 32 times an hour!! It drives me crazy. I really just want to be able to hold her and bring her home with me so we can start our life with her. I don't know if anyone else has ever experienced this but my newly made stretchmarks hurt!!! They feel like itchy bruises. I'm scared she isn't head down anymore, but I just can't tell. Hopefully my Dr. will be able to. It would definitely put my mind at ease. I just can't believe that I could potentially go into labor at any time now. It's so exciting!!!!
Wednesday March 19th
IM FULL TERM TODAY!!! WHOOPEEEEEE!!!!!! Now they can't and won't stop my labor if my baby decides to come!!!! I'm so excited.
Tuesday March 18th
37 weeks tomorrow!! FULL TERM!!! YAY
Sunday March 16th
I only have 3 days till I am considered full term! I am so excited. I know she'll be here soon but I just hope that she comes at most by Wednesday so that she will be full term.
Friday March 14th
Well I had the bloody show today around 3pm!! And from what I have read that means labor can be just around the corner!! Hopefully it is. Because I have also been having some cramping and sharp pains in my cervical area since I had the bloody show!! YAY..... it could be close. I am so excited. I just can't wait till I start having regular contractions. Anyways I will update later.
Wednesday March 12th
Well....I think that labor may be just around the corner because I am having some significant cramping and diarreah. And they say that can be a sign of soon to be labor!! YAY!!! I can't wait. Well I could wait for the labor part, but I really wanna see my baby, lol. :) Omg the weather has been absolutely beautiful for the past couple days. I really hope that it stays that way, but knowing oklahoma it WONT!!!! I am really tired of being preggo, I am in constant pain and it sux! But oh well it's for my little sweetheart.
Wednesday March 5th
I went to the labor and delivery last night at around 8:30pm for terrible contractions and because she had dropped so low that It hurt to bad to even walk!! So after an internal exam , they found that I was dialated to a 2!! Well my Dr. said that he wanted to wait at least one more week till I had her. So he stopped my contraction last night and told me to at least wait a week and then it will be ok if I had her. So she will most likely be born in 1 to 2 weeks!! I am sooo excited!! YAY
Monday March 3rd
Well I am setting up the baby room and packing my bags and hers today. I hope this is not too early. But I figure it's better to be ready than to be rushed!! I am getting so antsy knowing that I only have 5 weeks left!! I just am sooo ready to see her! And I am very tired of being pregnant....I can hardly even get out of bed in the morning because of the intense pain in my pubic bone! It's TERRIBLE....I am trying to clean the house spotless before the baby comes but it is just SOOO messy! I feel hopeless. I really want it perfect for when she comes home! Well I think that I am gonna go back to cleaning and such! I will update sometime this week. :)
Friday February 29th
Well... Today was my OB appt. and he said that I don't have anemia!!! And my next appt. was supposed to be in 2 weeks, and then after that appt. I was supposed to start going every week. BUT... he won't be in the office for 3 weeks, so my next appt. isn't until freakin MARCH 20th!!! That means my next appt. will be when I am 37 weeks! Lets hope I don't go into labor before that, because I really want my Dr. to be the one to deliver Avery. Well I just ate at cheddars and I am really tired so I think I will just go to bed now!! :)
Wednesday February 27th
Well I am 34 weeks today! I am so ready to have Avery!! I cannot wait to see her. I am really just tired of being preggo and ready to be a mommy. I go to my 34 week appointment Friday and I get the results to my Anemia tests then. Hopefully that comes out well. I think she has either dropped or is engaged because my pelvic bone hurts constantly now. And my hips are widening and painful. Well I think I am gonna go take a bath!!! I will update Friday.
Friday February 22nd
Well even closer now! I am 33 weeks and 2 days today. And I can't get a wink of sleep at night if I wanted to. My hips hurt to lay on my sides, my pubic bone hurts ALL the time, I can't sleep on my back. So I figure why even try to sleep. LOL... Well I am going to do my anemia test today, hopefully that will tell me the reason why I keep either passing out or getting dizzy. Anyways I hope all of you have a wonderful problem free day! I have another appt. next Friday!!!
Thursday February 14th
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!<3
Well I have an OB appointment tomorrow, I can't wait to see what my Dr. has to say this time... I love valentines day, it's such a wonderful day! I am sooo bored and tired and I just woke up, Ick. SOoOoO close now!
Wednesday February 13th
Valentines Day is tomorrow!!!! YAY!!!!!! Well, I am 32 weeks today and 8 months preggo!! I am so happy. I cannot wait for the baby to come... OMG I am soooo swollen...my ankles...my fingers...my toes...my face!!! AHHHH. My hair is finally growing somewhat. GAAAHHHH I cannot wait till it is back to as long as it used to be. MAH BELLAY IS SOO BUDDAH! haha.....I am getting really bad indigestion now. I just can't wait until I have her so I can start slimming my face down again. I dont look good with a chubby face....I look like a baby kid. My back is very achey right now. I might take a warm bath, that should do the trick. Well I am hungry so I am gonna go get something to eat....mMmMm Food!!
Wednesday February 6th
Well I have been sooo tired lately. I just wanna sleep all the time. It's like no matter how much sleep I get I am STILL tired. It's very annoying because there are things that I will wanna do one day and then I end up falling asleep and I dont end up gettin them done. Omg the baby will be here so soon and I feel that I am not at all prepared. I feel like there is so much more to do. I go friday to do my pre-admit with the hospital. And my next appt. with my OB is next friday. I am seeing my dr. every 2 weeks now. I can't believe I will be 32 weeks next week! That is so crazy. When I look at my pregnancy in retrospect it has gone SOOO fast. I am ready to see my baby girl though. I can only imagine what she will look like in my arms. Although I am not ready for labor, SOOO SCARED. I only have 9 weeks left, if I even make it that far. She could come sooner, I have a feeling she will.
Tuesday January 29th (1:30 am)
Ok so I ended up going to the labor and delivery at about 7pm yesterday and I just got back to my house!! They monitored my baby and contractions for the whole time and the baby was in no kind of stress but I was contracting regularly. They put back on procardia for the contractions and they slowed but didn't stop completely. But I never dialated so they went ahead and sent me home. But If I have any other problems I am supposed to just come back to the L&D tomorrow(technically today). But I just took the sleeping pill that they gave me so I am off to dream land, I will update later! Thanks for all the support and prayers.
Monday January 28thWell....It's looking like we are going to have to go to labor and delivery sometime tonight to get me checked. Because I am having sharp pains in my cervical and vaginal area, I am pretty sure I have been losing my mucus plug, the baby has not been moving nearly as much today as she usually does, and the baby may have dropped because she seems pretty low down in my pelvis. Soo my Dr. Told me to drink lots of water and to come in after an hour or so if nothing changes. Which I am thinking it's not gonna. I am so nervous!! I really hope he doesn't put me back on bedrest, that was the absolute worst thing in the world!! I felt like the biggest and sloppiest loser in the world. Anyways just keep us in your prayers and we will update later tonight!

Thursday January 24thWell.... I am 29 weeks only 6 days till I am 30 weeks!! How exciting! It is going so fast now, I am so thrilled about seeing my baby soon! Although I am having a hard time when I get too hot I tend to almost pass out. It really sucks. I am also having sooo much trouble sleeping now, because I cannot get comfy anymore. And because my body frame is so small I have a hard time breathing as well. I am ready to not be preggo anymore and to see my baby!
Tuesday January 15thI am 7 months preggo today!! OMG Its getting so close now. I have so much trouble sleeping now though. My belly is completely filled with baby. She really likes to kick my stomach and ribs!! My boobs have also gotten bigger, YAY I finally have some. LOL My sugars from my glucose test came back good, so I don't have to worry about any diabetes. She moves all the time now, no matter what I am doing she is movin and groovin.

Monday December 31stI am 6 months and almost 2 weeks pregnant! I am so excited. My belly is even bigger than last week. It seems like it just gets bigger every week. She kicks so hard that I see my belly move and look all deformed lol. Sometimes she sleeps on one side of my belly and it makes it bulge out. I am so excited! It is getting so close now, and I can't wait till she comes!! I have all these cute clothes and no baby to put them on lol!! She needs to hurry up and grow!
Friday December 21stI am finally 6 months preggo!!!! WOOT WOOT! My belly is getting so big now. I am soooo excited about seeing my little baby!! It's getting sooo close now. Only like 109 days to go. That is so crazy. It's going fast but slow at the same time. Can't wait!!!!

Thursday December 13thWell, tomorrow is my checkup appointment with my OBGYN. I am so interested in what he is gonna say. I hope he tells me that I can get off bedrest. I am going crazy staying inside the house all the time. I hate not having a job. But I'm just like that. I just get so bored so easily. I hope he also tells me that my cervix hasn't shortened anymore. I am really getting impatient about seeing my little sweetheart. I am just so excited. I just can't wait to hold her in my arms, and to just kiss her cute little cheeks!
Wednesday December 5thMy contractions are doing really well today!! I haven't had but a couple. Thats exciting, especially since I usually have a lot if my medication fully wears off. I have been slightly nausiated off and on all day, but it's really not terrible. I am just so excited about this baby, I feel like my pregnancy is going SOOO slow. I have a checkup appointment next week with my OBGYN to check and see how me and the baby are doing since my scare with all my contractions. I am so worried/hopeful to see what he says. Hopefully all is good inside my belly! My ribs are beginning to hurt a little bit every day, i'm not sure if thats from the weight pulling on them, or if there is just not enough room in there. And it's just wonderful!! I am now having this nice little problem when I sneeze! Everytime I sneeze or cough hard I pee my pants a little! It SOOOO sucks. But oh well I'll get over it.
Sunday December 2ndWell I feel much better today. Even though once my medication wears off my contractions come back :( But I just keep myself positive by looking at my ultrasound pictures and realizing how much I love my baby!! She is SOOO beautiful already. I can already tell. She has the perfect litlle lips, nose, feet, hands and everything. I never knew I could love something so much that I had never seen in person. I just want her to be healthy! That would mean so much to me. I want her to have the happiest and healthiest life that she can. I will do anything to achieve that for her! Even if that means i'm on bedrest for the next 3 1/2 months! I wish all the rest of you healthy pregnancies, and healthy little babies!
