Doc appointment

So went in today for my appointment (i'm 38 weeks 4 days today) and had the midwife instead of my doctor. My doc is on vacation all this week and next (yeah great timing, huh?!). The midwife was pretty nice though-she did let me know that i'm 1 and a half centimeters dilated! I wasn't dilated at all last week (or at least they didn't say) so i'm pretty excited about it. I know it doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it makes me feel better :) She also put his weight at probably 7 1/2-8lbs.

I go back in next Tuesday (at 39 weeks 3 days) and I meet with the midwife again. The appointment after that (if I get that far) will be at 40 weeks 2 days and i'll be meeting with my doctor again. At that appoinment he said we would be able to schedule an induction (but i'm hoping I go into labor before then!)

We move in ten days from today too-the countdown for the new house is the same as my due date, lol. We're trying to wrap a lot of stuff up this weekend because family is coming in a week from today and we want to have as much done as possible!

P.S. Ethan, come on out :)

As of today, I have 12 days remaining until my due date. Of course i'm happy about it and hopefully I won't have to do all 12 days and he comes before! I will say though i'm not a happy camper these last few weeks/days. I think about 37 weeks is when I was "done". Since then I've gone to labor and delivery twice (both for migraines). I had a migraine last week for 3 days straight! I seriously thought I might die. The first visit they gave me Norco (sp?) which apparentlly is some kind of vicodin...that didn't work at all and when I woke up at home, the migraine was still there. That night we went again because I was vomiting and just plain miserable. They gave me Tylenol 3 with codeine and went home, woke up around 3am and I STILL had it! But luckily they gave me a prescription for the Tylenol 3 so I popped another one and that seemed to have done the trick! Woohoo!

With the migraine squashed, i'm still really uncomfortable. I can't really move around all that well and i'm just at the point where i'm getting really frustrated and grumpy with EVERYTHING! My next appointment is on Wednesday (at 38 weeks, 4 days) and i'm hoping to hear some promising news :)
or someone might get hurt.

37 Weeks!

Yay to FINALLY being full term!! I'm starting to get pretty uncomfortable though..he's really hurting me now when he moves-literally takes my breath away!

One more week until i'm full term! :) I'm a lot more tired these days it seems (having just woken up from a nice nap)and it hurts a lot more to walk. It feels like my hips are going to fall off. Aaand baby is starting to kung fu my belly more. I swear, sometimes it feels like he's going to bust out of my skin!

We're moving!

Old house..


Meet new house..




Yay we got the house!! The new house pics aren't the best since we were doing a drive by and snapping the pictures inside of the car...but you get the idea. I'm so excited! We're signing the lease tomorrow and going to start packing! We're going to try to move everything in before May 1st..and we're also hoping baby comes before then too!!!!
