Still waiting

I'm going to start out by saying its Wednesday-hump day-middle of the week-weeks almost over!!!

Now then with that-today has been my motivator. If I could reach Wednesday-I knew I just had to focus on going to work Thursday and Friday of this week and then I'd be DONE!!! I know it seems silly to go ahead and take off when I don't have my bundle however, I'm tired and exhausted, in pain, and want to CRY ALL THE TIME!!!

If you would have asked me at the beginning of the month if I would be in this predicament I would have laughed and said...aww no he'll be here around the last week of September...

Well as we all know, September has come and gone!! I don't know why all expecting mothers think they will have their beautiful bundle of joy early-but most do, and end up getting lost in their own imagination.

My imagination has caused me many tears, that my wonderful husband has learned to comfort over and over. He knows when to hug, or bring me something to drink/eat. He's learned not to call me out when I come up with wild ideas to move this labor along. I guess I assumed when my pain set in, Trisitn would be ready to visit us out in the world. I know that in the end I'll take this pain for the meeting of our child-but at the moment I'd like to craw in a hole.

Our doctor appointment went as good as it could have gone. Tristin is doing well, and not wanting to come out! I of course cried, and my doctor said it would be over soon. We have our next appointment scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday, Oct. 6th (a day after his due date), and if we haven't had him by then-we'll schedule a true due date! Keep your fingers and toes crossed that I have him prior.

Which brings me to another point...I was trying to please all-b/c Dillan wanted to skip out on some school (what uncle wouldn't..haha), but Fridays aren't good b/c of band....and this weekend my doctor is in town, but attending ACL-along with my cousins!!!! My doctor said he'd come right away, but I don't want to be the one to put a damper on ACL...people wait all year for this!! However I WANT HIM OUT ASAP!!!

Well I suppose that is enough rambling...I'm off to bed with a better attitude(it might not seem like it) and with newly painted toes...(my neighbor Addy who is a wonderful great great friend took me to get my toes painted up so I wouldn't have to focus on nasty toes in the hospital-it made my day!!) I hope you all have a great rest of the week...Talk to you soon!!

Will he ever come?

Boy...
Just when you think things are about to change...nothing!! I really didn't mind being pregnant. Overall I've learned to cope with things I needed to get over in my normal day to day life-(going to public restrooms, not worrying about dishes being left in the sink, because I'm to tired to wash them, not worrying about making the bed, or cleaning EVERYDAY) However now I wish it was OVER!! My feet really are swollen now, my back kills me with ever step I take, or sit I sit. My lower region feels like a heavy balloon, and at times can't move b/c of a sharp pain that shoots up me. I'm done...he's done!!! I've come to that conclusion. :)

Now if we can just convince Tristin its time to come, that would help me soooooo much! I deep down knew I had 40 weeks with my little boy, but its 39 and that is close enough. I tell him everyday its time, but he obviously doesn't listen to me now (what great teen-age years I have to come). Last weeks appointment was blah...I had a different doctor number 5 that I've seen, and didn't care for him much. My doctor is wonderful and tells me blunt and right out how things are-this doctor was like..."Well your still at a 2 and you are very thinned out". What is very thinned out? Last week I was 50% effaced, and this week I'm just very thinned out.....AHHHH!!!

My next appointment is Tuesday, back with my doctor-however I'm praying REALLY LOUD I don't make it to that appointment!! If I do, I think honestly I'm just going to cry!! I'm ready to leave school-everything is copied for next week, notes are made-I'm ready!!

My sister is coming to visit today and my mom tomorrow-how awesome would it be if I went into labor while they were here!!! Ive started researching into acupressure-and might see if my sister will help me achieve pushing on some of these pressure points later this afternoon.

Well..I hope to have pictures of our little guy here really soon...and I really am exciting, I just needed to vent to make myself feel a little better!!!

Hiccups/Doctor Check Up

Have you ever sat back and thought about hiccups? I hate them! They hurt, and are very annoying. I fortunately haven't gotten them in a LONG time, but as I sat down a few seconds ago to relax I started feeling little ups and downs in my belly. I was also having a contraction and so I was trying to focus on what the feeling was. Well as I sat in tune with the belly I realized poor Trisitin had the hiccups. I wonder what that feels like for him? Does it hurt him like it hurts us? I don't want him to hurt yet. However if he doesn't come out quick I might hurt him...haha.

Kevin and I went to the doctor yesterday!! I'm not going to like these exams so I'm hoping either he comes soon, or I dilate more!!! OUCH!!! Everything looks great though! My doctor told me ways to get him here sooner, and you can bet that I'll be trying them ALL!!! Even if I'm in pain! I now have two more appointments scheduled. One next Tuesday and then one the following Tuesday!!! I know I can make it, but it drives me nuts not knowing when he's coming!!! We are ready now!! I tell him everyday, and Kevin tells him too. He's so cute when he talks to him....I know he'd kill me if he knew I was telling people this, but he tells him how much we love him, and how ready we are for him to come! I've made it through this week, and will focus on making it to my next appointment! We are going one week at a time! Well...I'm going to try to relax for the evening. I'll keep you updated as best I can!!

Its been a while

Well, here I am already slacking off on my blog! Things have been hectic and crazy to say the least, but its almost time to have this baby!!!!

School has started-the smell of freshly sharpened pencils,and new crayons in the box has warn away and I'm left with smelly LOUD children all day. What a joy!!
(by the way while writing this my dog just threw-up I know that is weird to put,but it distracted me as Kevin ran him outside)
Now back to what I was saying-- Aww yes school-I'm already bogged down with loads of papers to grade, and emails to read from parents concerning their 'o so perfect kids'.

This past weekend was the Hamilton Dove Festival-YIPEE.....we made it home Friday night-after a close call of missing a doctors apt. b/c everyone was driving slow to view the wreck on the OPPOSITE SIDE OF 35!!!!!! REALLY PEOPLE......anyway we made it home to rain, and me being VERY tired. So instead of embarking on the homecoming game-I opted to stay home and rest,in my dads VERY VERY hot house. Saturday morning I awoke to the joys of a parade-watched and yelled at Dillan as he marched by-and sat in the heat. I ran into a lot of people I adore, and some I've nearly forgotten, but were really good to meet up with. Its a great time to catch up, and I'm looking forward to next year with Tristin, so I can mingle with my other friends instead of basking in the heat of the day and just wanting to go home. Now I do realize I'll want to hurry and take Tristin home at some point next year-I'm sure he'll be into EVERYTHING and ANYTHING-but that will be for next year.

Sunday we had a small surprise b-day part for Hillary-she is turning 30!!!! It was exciting !! She got to talk/see a few close friends that she hadn't talked to in a while. I got to swim-geez that is hard work by the way-and play b-ball with my dad and Dillan. Towards the end of the day I started feeling bad and went home and headed for the bed.

Monday-FREE OF SCHOOL...I visited my mom and Gina, and we said our goodbyes...I told them this would be it until the big day..and of course mom started crying...how sweet...I'm loved! Then Kevin and I went to pick up Averi and took her out to Granny/Pa's where we had a great lunch, and enjoyed each others company. I love them so much! Hillary, Dennis,and Maddie joined us, so the girls got to play for the afternoon, Hill andI got to talk, and the boys....well they took a 2 1/2 hour nap. All while I really wanted to since I didn't feel very good.

We left, and I laid down in the back seat of the truck-slept all the way home, just to load back up again and drive to Round Rock b/c I felt sooooo bad. We stayed in the hospital for 3 hours, and I was given fluids to feel better, and tested for the flu. Good news-I don't have the flu, and I feel much better(after sleeping all day Tuesday).

I just have a few more days to make it to 37 weeks-considered full term!!!! This means anytime I could pop this little guy(big guy) out. I visit the doctor on the 16th to talk about my measurements and our plan-inducing/waiting....I'm excited for this talk-it makes it more real. My Pa gives me until the 25th of this month....Geez that would be nice....I'm running out of room FAST!!! Kevin's shirts are starting not to fit!!

Well...hopefully I can keep up on the blog and not give such long updates....Maybe my mom will stay on me now that she has one!!
