Alanna has arrived! Please check out our Birth Story!

---------------------------------------------------------------

I am very excited about this pregnancy. This is my first baby and it means the world to me already. I feel like being a mom is my real purpose in life! My husband and I both have no blood relatives in our lives....so this is a big deal. :)

So far, my favorite things about being pregnant are:

-feeling the baby move. It always makes me smile.

-My belly bump

-hearing the heartbeat/seeing the baby moving on the Ultrasound

-daydreams about holding our baby when he/she is born, daydreams about the baby sleeping on my chest, daydreams about the first smile

-sitting in our new rocking chair and invisioning us in the nursery with the baby

Hey thanks! Yeah, I'm pretty excited to be a mom, it's amazing! I am so happy to be home w/ her. She's a good little nurser, sleeps well, and smiles a ton! I agree, that pic of her smiling is the cutest. I can't wait for you to have yours too! Keep me posted on everything! Are you feeling ready?
PS -- our cat is definitely a bit jealous, and acting sad, but is leaving her totally alone, thank goodness!

They were probably moving stuff around in there. It hurts more as you get closer to delivery. One time I was in tears while they were checking me. Hnag in there, you are so close! I wish I was close : ( Good Luck

yes we had a gender scan....haha! and he even circled the genitals and said "see theres no penis" .....wel well well, i guess he missed it.

Hmmm... we actually were able to kind of catch him in the act & get paper towels underneath him for the most part, so not a lot got on the carpet.... which is also how I know he was just doing it to get our attention! But I just tried to blot it out, not rub... and we bought some stuff at the store that supposedly removes urine stain & smell. Honestly, I don't know how well it works, b/c he still goes back to that same spot & sniffs. He's such a little devil! I have heard that this stuff called "urine-off" is good, but I haven't been able to find it in the stores. I think we actually mixed some water & vinegar together, too, and blotted some of that on there. Who knows!

Yes I agree - and we've already waited around 9months what is 2more weeks?

mplsmama - Wednesday, 28 May
Oh Theo is being his old grumpy self! :} He actually peed on the rug in the baby's room a few weeks ago [can't remember if I already told you that]. Anyway, that's the only concern I have... seemed he was trying to mark his territory. I am praying he'll accept the baby when s/he comes home! How is your cat? How are you doing otherwise?

mplsmama - Sunday, 25 May
Hanging in there... anxiously awaiting the big day, but scared for the big day at the same time! :} How about you?

mommakass - Thursday, 15 May
Thank you.. i just feel like its a waste of my time to go on there and read all about people trying to induce.. its kinda frustrating.. its weird they are all trying to rush things along and I'm trying to keep him in and I'm already dilating and their babies aren't budging ha... How are you feeling?

No, I'm scheduled for a c-section because I had an emergency one last time. But, this time, the baby is so low, the doctor doesn't know if she'll wait till the scheduled date. This would mean another "emergency" section. I was hoping so hard to have a relaxed one this time. Last time was a nightmare. I just didn't realize that dropping made such an inpact on labor. I thought dialating and effacing were the 2 big ones. I thought the dropping didn't matter until you were dialted a little. Silly me....lol

thanks for the info on the birth plan! i'm going to mention it to my doc tomorrow and gauge his reaction....

mplsmama - Wednesday, 7 May
LOL, my cat likes to lay on my laptop too! He tries to lay across my arms as I type... so cute. Glad to hear the foil is working out! That's awesome that you got your changing table too. It's definitely good to hold off & see what type of blessings we get from others!
Our bedding is kind of green, brown & cream color. It's a gender-neutral nursery... at least in theory... but I think it looks a bit boyish. I'll just have to throw some pink in there if it ends up being a girl! I have a couple of pics of me in the nursery in my photos section of my page, too.
I get another u/s in about 2 wks... can't wait! I just love seeing the little cutie on the screen. My hubby e-mailed out some u/s pics to some people, and I actually had a guy in church tell me he thought the pics were "creepy!" I was like, thanks a lot! Oh well, not everyone likes that type of thing...

mplsmama - Sunday, 4 May
Yeah, I hear ya! It's hitting me too how soon this could come! From your pics it looks like you have your nursery pretty well set though... that's gotta feel good! Ours is coming along pretty well, though I haven't bought my bedding yet. I have another shower on 5/17 so I'm trying to hold off on buying everything else until after that shower. Then I'll probably hit Babies R Us & go hog wild! :}

lol no i said diapers only. she doesnt need ANYYYYTHING whatsoever. seriously. i spent 90 bucs the other day on pointless, useless toys she probably wont touch because she has so many, and yesterday i spent 40 bucks on stuff i didnt need to waste time. we didnt buy a lot of diapers because were moving in less than 2 months, and diapers would be annoying to bring. so were gunna use our gift cards for those :]

mplsmama - Saturday, 3 May
Yeah, it's a bit comforting to know that even if my baby came into this world at this point, s/he would probably be totally fine since s/he already weighs so much! And actually it won't be up to me if I have a c-section -- it'll be up to my dr! It really just depends on when I go into labor. If I went a bit early, there's a better chance I'd give birth vaginally. If I went full-term, I'd more likely need the c-section. I know that petite women can deliver large babies... your size doesn't have much to do w/ it, from what I understand. It has to do with how large the opening is in your pelvic bone. So... I'll get another u/s at 37 wks and they'll re-evaluate at that point. We'll see! I just want him/her to come into this world safely, that's all!

Hey there, I just thought I'd update you after my u/s today.... first, I got some awesome face shots which are so awesome! S/he is soooo cute! Chubby little cheeks and all. And the tech said s/he already had hair! So cute! But... it's been confirmed that s/he's a very large baby. :( They estimate the baby is already 6 1/2 lbs. Now they're saying if I went full-term the baby would probably be at least 9 1/2 lbs. So I will likely need a c-section. I really was scared of the idea until my dr described the risks of vaginal birth w/ that large of a baby... and I decided I'm very at peace w/ the idea of the c-section now! I jsut want the baby to come into this world safely. I'm actually handling the news better than I thought.... I guess it's b/c there's nothing you can do about it!
Hope all is well w/ you...
