I'm Ready!!

I'm officially over being pregnant! Things are getting more and more uncomfortable for me, especially sleeping! Yesterday I tried "walking" her out. I did 2 miles on the treadmill in 31 minutes! I'm feeling that one this morning. School starts back up tomorrow, I could really surprise all of my classmates and professors if I went and I was still pregnant! They didn't even think I'd make it to Thanksgiving break! Now I'm going to make it THROUGH the week long break! I don't know how Brian and I's mothers did it. Brian and I were both 4-5 weeks overdue. Guess I could make it through the semester if the hospital would let me go that far past my due date! But it looks like I'm going in Tuesday night to start the induction process. I really hope she comes on her own before then!!

40 Weeks and 4 Days!! No end in sight!

I'm now 4 days past my estimated due date, but I'm still feeling fairly comfortable. Sleeping at night is becoming much harder though. When I wake up, I don't feel well rested even though I've been in bed for 8-10 hours!! I know it's just my body preparing itself. I'm still at zero cm and no sign of contractions or anything else! My induction date was set for Nov. 30th but I have been bumped back to Dec. 1st now because someone else needed my date/time for a c-section. I never thought I'd be having a December baby! Hopefully she comes on her own before then! I've been trying everything to try to help bring on some contractions, but nothing seems to work. I know she'll come when she's ready, it's just hard playing the waiting game. But I am enjoying some time off from school. I was hoping I could work on some of my projects but we haven't learned everything yet so I'm stuck with what I've gotten done thus far. I hope you all are doing well and we wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. Here are a few photos I've taken recently with our new camera. I really like it and I can't wait to take pics of the little one once she finally arrives!

This last picture is me at 40 weeks and 4 days!

Today's the Day!

Well, not exactly! Looks like the little one wants to hang around a little longer before she makes her big debut! I'm really not as disappointed as I thought I might be. I guess it helps that I'm not miserable. I'm looking forward to this weekend alone with Brian. I will savor every moment that she gives us. But I am anxious for her to come as well! I can't wait to see what she looks like and I can't wait to hold her in my arms! Dr.'s are going to induce me November 30th if she's not here by then. I really hope she makes it on her own before that time!! Hopefully the next post you read is one announcing her birth!!

Pregnancy Photos

New Camera!!!

Last night, Brian and I went to Best Buy to look at some of their DSLR cameras. We've been looking for quite some time now, but we finally decided on one! We got a Nikon D3100. At first Brian said that I couldn't play with it until I got all of my homework done...but obviously that didn't happen. I'm still learning, but here are a few pictures with the new camera. I think it'll be great for when the little on arrives. It even can capture HD video! David was the only one that would pose for pictures this morning. But I'm sure you'll see many more photos of our other two creatures that we have wandering around the house!

15 DAYS (or so) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The end is in sight and it's almost coming TOO fast now! I feel like there's so much to do before she arrives. My hospital bag is sorta packed. I can't pack a lot of things because I still use them on a daily basis. Plus, if everything goes as planned (haha....like that'll happen!) I hope to stay at home for the first parts of labor. You know, take a shower, EAT, etc... So I'm thinking I'll have time to finish the bag packing then. We'll see!!

School is still crazy for me. I have a project due Nov. 10th, 12th and 19th. Along with a midterm exam on the 17th. For my last project that was due I ended up staying up over 36 hours. Spending ALL night in the computer lab with 18 other classmates of mine. It really wasn't fair that they all had coffee and red bulls to keep them awake while I sat there with my water! But, I got it done just in time!

Here are a few pictures of the nursery. The only thing that is missing right now are the letters of her name. They are going above her crib.
