She's here!!

April 12th, 2010 @ 10:47pm Olivia Margaret joined us on the outside.

Sorry it's taken this long to update! I've updated everything else, just didn't have a chance to come on here yet. Olivia is laying on the couch next to me working out some gas bubbles, she's so cute!!

I'll be posting her birth story when I get a chance. We are doing great (a little sore), and she's breastfeeding like a champ!
Here is a picture of our newest little princess!

Update #2 and stuff.

How far along? 39 weeks 6 days (yup due TOMORROW)
Total weight gain/loss? up 1Kg from last update, still less than with Joy :)
Maternity clothes? Yeah, like 3 shirts... getting bored of them!
Stretch marks? I am pretty sure I have some more, but they are under the bump so I can't see them.
Sleep? Nope... Had a little during my 'nap' today but not much at all.
Best moment since last update? My mom is home :)
Movement? Still as strong as ever.
Food cravings? Milk, Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate.....Oh and Chocolate :) ~ hasn't changed.
Gender? Yet to be discovered.
Baby Size (based on height of fundus)? Right on target.
Labor Signs? Cramping, the odd contraction, Braxton Hicks, Pressure.
Belly Button in or out? Both, mostly In, but sometimes baby pushes it out.
What I miss? SUSHI!!!!!! Yup hasn't changed much! But I REALLY miss sleeping on my tummy!!!
What I am looking forward to? This baby coming out! Lets get this show on the road. Also for me to not be sick, Joy to be done teething and not be sick, and sleeping on my tummy ;)
Weekly Wisdom? Nap as often as possible. If you can't nap just laying down and relaxing supposedly is the same.
Milestones? hmmmm...... I'M DONE! Come on baby you are done cooking lets play!

So I had a doctors apt today. At the last apt I asked if he would do an internal exam to see how things were going. Nope. Will only do that if doing a Membrane sweep. Told me to just tell him at the next apt. So Today I was going to get it done, then I woke up with a sore throat and just feeling blah. There is only a small chance that I would/could go into labour, however I figured with me and Joy both being sick it might not be the best to rush things. However I figured I'd ask and if the doc said he thought it was a good idea I'd go for it.... I think he'd completely forgot about it! So when I mentioned it (and that I was sick) he jumped on the 'better wait till you are better' wagon. So that's it. No internal. No info. He asked when I was due (was just going to look it up on chart) I said Tomorrow. He responded with "so you going to keep me busy on Saturday eh?" I said "I hope so!". lol. Here's to hoping!

I Hope and Pray that I have a fabulous sleep tonight and feel 100% in the morning. Joy gets the rest she needs and is 100% in the morning. Then around 9am I start labor. I keep busy, get the house clean. Then have the baby early/late afternoon (however still feel rested). Wouldn't that just be perfect?????? Oh and nice and 'easy' labor? ;)

God Bless hope I have pics to post soon of the little one!

Mom...

Mom is probably fast asleep right now on the airplane :) That's right, tomorrow evening my mom arrives in Canada :) I'm excited!!! I can't wait until MONDAY!!!! 'cause Monday mom and dad are coming to spend the day with us :) I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought I'd let you all know :)

Sooooooo, Monday will probably be spent walking and working on getting this baby out :) LOL.

God bless you all!!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

soonish right?

Besides my doctor being confused about whether I'll be early or late having this baby I fell ready.
My mom fly's home Sunday night. that's in two sleeps. So three more sleeps before I 'officially' want this baby out. I feel like I could jump start labour at any time......but I can't test that theory out just yet.

Today Orlund was home from work (Good Friday) so we decided to head out and do some shopping. We went to a craft store to pick up some supplies I need for birth announcements, then headed over to a hardware store to get some plumbing supplies. Yes nothing like having a broken toilet when there's a 9month pregnant lady in the house (Luckily we have another washroom on the same level). Orlund also needed his watch repaired so we headed over to a jewelry store. However after all the walking from the two previous stops I was done. Tired. Exhausted. Contracting. Not real contractions, but uncomfortable ones. So Joy and I stayed in the car while he ran in, then we sat at a coffee shop next door while they fixed the watch (just strap replacement). Orlund headed back to the store while Joy and I finished up our muffin and drinks, I started to get really uncomfortable, so we joined him at the other store just as he was paying. On the way home I was shifting my weight and occasionally groaning so Orlund asked if I was having real contractions. nope. just can't move enough to get rid of them.

When we got home we weren't hungry so I put Joy down for her nap and snuggled in for mine. After only 40ish minutes of me actually sleeping I had to use the washroom, then I couldn't fall back asleep. And of course today Joy decided to sleep for 3hours instead of 2....so here I am up and she's down (she just woke up but hasn't called us yet).

I'm Exhausted! Can't sleep at night, can't sleep for naps..... I sure pray and hope that I get a few good nights/naps in before baby arrives.

Well 3 more sleeps and we will see if we can get things going. It's exciting to think about a newborn, also exhausting to think of all the work (it's worth it though)...... fun times fun times.

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Easter weekend!
God Bless.
