Welcome to the World!



I have a very long story of how this little sweet thing came into the world, but we don't have a computer battery and will be in the hospital much longer than anticipated, but here is a sneak peak!

Getting Closer

I went to my doctor appt. Friday and was happy to find out I am 3 cm. and 80-90% effaced. If she doesn't come on her own by Friday the 20th, they are going to induce. The doctor said we could induce this coming Monday, the 16th, but I would really rather wait and see if she won't just come on her own. We'll keep posting!

Bedding

Last weekend while in Utah for the doctor, we met one of my good friends, Jonna, who made my baby bedding. I was so excited to pick it up and really excited to put it on the crib. It turned out so cute! Now we just need a little one to enjoy use the bedding! Thanks again Jonna!

Updates

Yes, we're still waiting. 12 days until the due date and definitely hoping we don't have to wait more than 14 days!! My ribs are so sore I fear they will hurt long after this little one arrives!

At my appointment last week I was 1.5 cm/50% effaced/-2 position. My next appointment is Friday and I have a bad feeling it is going to be exactly the same! I really can't complain too much because I really have the same discomforts of last week and nothing worse...knock on wood. The hardest part for some reason is driving. Even just two blocks in the driver's seat and I think I am going to die. It must be the perfect position for her to really cram herself into the rib cage.

We finished our child birth classes, the nursery is totally ready, hospital bags are packed in the car--we really just can't wait! It's so cute to see how excited Jeff is--that might change when the crying starts. We both are dying to see what she looks like.

Nothing else too exciting is going on around our household. Hopefully within the next two weeks there will be something more exciting to post!

The Petition

Before I get to this post, vote on my poll. With 3 weeks more to go I am getting more and more antsy to see what our little girl is going to look like!

As I was walking the other day I passed one of my favorite people: this little lady and her black poodle looking dog. This lady cracks me up. Seriously. She is out most of the days I am, but she doesn't actually walk her dog. She "hangs out" on the trail looking for others with dogs she can talk to. She will walk back and forth the same ten feet for I don't even know how long. Her dog is clearly her prized possession and the bling around the dog's neck clearly shows that.

Before I finish this story, you need to know I am not exactly a dog person. I'm not really an animal person period. I apologize to those of you that love pets, but I would really not be a good pet owner. Too much responsibility. I am the cranky one in the neighborhood that cannot stand to listen to other people's dogs barking. I have even made Jeff call the cops on a few obnoxious dogs that go off at all hours of the day and night. I am the one carrying pepper spray on the trail in case there is a loose dog. You get the picture.

Anywho, so as I pass this lady, we say, "good morning," as usual. She then sticks a clipboard in my face and asks me to sign a petition. I am intrigued and ask her what for. She then proceeds to tell me this petition is for a dog park. That's right, a dog park. Not wanting to be rude, I sign the petition. The whole time afterwards I am just laughing to myself thinking about how ironic it is that I, of all people, would sign a petition for a dog park. Not that I really care one way or the other about having one in town--as long as it's not near my house--but the fact that my name is on the petition like I really want this, is funny to me.

The funniest part is that I told Jeff I had signed a petition. Before I could tell him what for, he says, "let me guess, for a dog park?" Apparently he signed the same one at work. Why is this funny? He shares my sentiments about dogs. Like me, he didn't want to be rude, so he signed away. I guess we'll just have to get a dog now so we can go to the dog park we desperately wanted.
