ON OUR WAY HOME....HER FIRST CAR RIDE Hello...I'm 29 yrs old and have been waiting for this special time for awhile. I knew it was a matter of waiting on God. My husband and I have been married since Feb. 20, 1999 but we met in HS of 95....Just like any couple, we have had our ups and downs but as soon as we learned to put God first, we got things together and on the right track. I am proud to say that I am pregnant with a baby girl, who I am so ready to see. I've been pregnant in the past a few times but always had miscarriages in my first trimester. Now that I am in my last trimester, my husband and I are so excited and can't wait for that special day! We are also very thankful and know that none of this would be possible without the work of God. Our parents are excited b/c this will be their first gran...lol, we are the oldest and still manage to be the first.... "Have faith and trust and God will work it out"

First of all I would like to say CONGRATS to all the future 2008 mommies!! I am still waiting on my little bundle of joy to make her big debut. My mother and mother in law thinks that she will be here any day now but i'm not so sure about that. Today I had my 35th week dr. appt and nothing has changed....everything is still looking good, with a great heartbeat! I thought maybe since I was feeling some cramping the past couple of days that I had at least dialated a little but nothing.....cervix is still way up there...lol I am ready though, well at least I think I am. So in the meantime, I have been washing up her little clothes, folding, hanging and now the nursery is done, thankx to my husband for helping me. He really has been a huge help, I could not ask for anyone better. I can also tell that he is just as anxious as I am because everytime i feel a pain and he's around, he will say "uh oh...it's time" but I'm like "no babe, not yet, not today, lol" but only God really knows. I just pray that I have a good labor, I guess everyone does...I guess thats my nerves shining out of me. I keep having dreams of me being in labor but never can see the baby's face..lol that is so crazy...I'm just patiently waiting though....maybe next time I write, I will have some more good news! Once again, to all....CONGRATS!!

Hello Ladies...today I am feeling very tired. I keep feeling dehydrated also, not sure what that's about when I drink water all day! My husband just keep telling me it's almost that time but I'm not so sure. After thinking about what the dr. said last Wednesday about my cervix still being WAYYYY up there (and yes, she expressed the way part like that) I feel that maybe she won't come earlier but I don't know. Sometimes I want her to be here like today and the other days I'm like "well I guess I can wait a few more weeks, I've waited this long" but the anticipation is killing me!! I'm sure there are others who feel me on this one... :-) I wish I would have went to church this morning since today is the first Sunday in 2008 but I was extremely tired from being up at like 2-4am, not being able to sleep, just tossing and turning.

I JUST HAD A MELT DOWN...I just went to my door because my dog was barking outside and this girl that was in my class 2 semesters ago heard i was pregnant but she moved like 2 hours away came all the way here to bring me my gift b/c she didn't make it to my baby shower. I thought that was sooooooo sweet, i just had to share that little story. (she got me some sleepers, mittens and baby hats) awwwwh, some people can just be so darn nice!

Since I didn't get a chance to put up my pics from every trimester before, I am going to do it now....It's been a long time waiting and I know God will not put no more on you than you can handle. I am so happy to know that he's brought me this far....

When we went to get our picture of the sonograms, I think our daughter knew it was "picture day" because she tried hiding behind her little hands the entire time. My nurse was actually getting on my nerves pushing my belly up and down trying to make her move her precious hands but she wouldn't budge. But as soon as we started talking and just looking at her potentially curly hair, she took her hands down for a split second but not long enough for the nurse to catch the picture. LOL wow.....she's already got a little personality of her own but here is a what we could capture.

January 8th, 2008 (Tuesday)

Last night I started having a few BH, like i said before my husband is always saying "it's time" but I knew they weren't coming regulary so I just laid down and prayed for them to go away. Anyway, hubby decided to take pics of my stomach because he thought that would be the last time he would see me pregnant since he thinking I was going into labor. Nope...not yet, my ticker says 29 days so maybe she will stay put for the time being. I go to my dr. appt tomorrow....kinda anxious about it.

WHEW! MY STOMACH IS HUGE!!!!! AND LOOK AT MY CROOKED LINE...LOL

January 9th, 2008 (Wednesday)- 36 weeks

Today I had my 36th week dr. appt! OMG...I was so nervous b/c they had to draw more blood, but I knew it was a normal routine, I just get nervous at the thought of tests coming..lol But as I laid back on that table and she (my dr.) checked my cervix, I waited patiently to hear some results and if I had dialated or not. She did say the good news is I have started contracting but she can only touch my cervix but a inch of her finger tip. (sooooooo with that being said) I guess our little girl won't be coming this week. (hmm?) Like I said before, all I can do is sit back and wait on God and this baby....they have it all planned out I'm sure. (i'm just so darn anxious!) I've been trying to take the advice i hear about get enough sleep now but I thought about it, you can never get enough sleep. It's not like if I sleep for about 20 hours now I can pull out a reserve sleep when the baby gets here...lol that's crazy! Maybe what they should have been saying to me was "enjoy your rest/sleep now before the baby come, b/c it will never be the same!"

BABY GIRL'S NURSERY

I just wanted to post a few pics of the nursery...we aren't finished with putting things in order but hubby painted the room, and we put alot of stuff together.

I had 2 baby shower's, one on Nov. 17th and one on Dec. 8th b/c everyone thought my little girl was coming early. But to their surprise and to what I already knew, she is very comfortable in her mother's womb. lol So here are some pics of those 2 events. I had a wonderful time and I thank everyone who came out to celebrate the wonderful moment with me!!

This was the baby shower that my bestfriend (in the red shirt) planned for me... She is such a good party planner!! She will also be my daughter's God Mom!! Love ya Caprisha!!

These 2 pictures were taken at my second baby shower, arranged by my mother in law!! WE had a blast and there was soooo much good food to ea but I had to cut back on the sweets. * Look at hubby holding his baby!*

January 28th, 2008 (Monday)

Well here I am, 38.4 weeks and I am ready to pop! After taking a long walk last week with my hubby, I just knew the baby would have dropped by now. Well....according to my dr., he said today when i had my appt that I wa 70% effaced and 1 cm dilated. I guess that's pretty good considering last week I as 50% and no cm. dialated. My due date lands on next Thursday and I'm patiently waiting. My husband is so anxious as well, he's ready to take his vacation to be with me through the rough times but he don't want to do it too soon because he only gets a week off. I'm kind of laughing to myself about all the comments I got from family memebers and friends who all said "wow, you are so big, you aren't going to make it to Feb." and this was in November and December and here I am approaching Feb. Well that just goes to show, people don't know, only God knows when this baby is coming out. But I have learned to let what people say go in one ear and out the other. (LOL) One of the nurses that I love very dearly told me to do eat some egg plant b/c that normally makes the baby move....umm not sure if i want any of that. I told her I might just stick to walking..lol Ok, I'm signing off now....just wanted to let you inquiring minds know how things were going up until this point. I am having some pain though, well he pelvic pressure, that's never fun i guesss and the hard contractions....my next move is to time them and find out how far apart they are. To all the upcoming mommies...I want to wish you many blessings!!!!
