Update on Nathan

He's still inside, but probably not for long! I am dilated to 2cm now, losing some of the mucous plug, and I have lost some of my amniotic fluid. He is also at a -1 station, which is really low in the pelvic cavity. The doctor said it's very possible I could go into labor this week or it could be next week. He's not sure obviously since every one is different. We made an appointment for next week but he didn't really sound like he would see me then. I'm ready for him now. I feel like I've been pregnant for years now. I guess we will just wait and see. I talked with Claudia, our birth instructor whose been delivering babies forever, she seems to think it might be this week. Dean is hoping that we can at least get our bedroom furniture delivered and set up next Monday or Tuesday before I go into labor. We'll see. His birthday is Monday and doens't want to share a birthday, which I understand. We are shooting for the 20th. That seems so far away, but it really isn't. Wish us luck for the next couple of weeks!

furniture and hospitals

We bought some really awesome furniture this week! We are so excited for it to come! Hopefully next week. We bought a brand new bedroom set complete with queen size bed, dresser/mirror, chest, and a memory foam mattress! It is all handcrafted and had carved and is gorgeous! It's a one of a kind piece, only 5 were ever made. I love it so much so I took my mom to the furniture store where we bought it and had to show it off! As soon as we got there my mom had to use the bathroom and long story short, got her finger caught in the door and it cut the tip of her finger off! Really gross! The people at the store were very nice and even drove my mom to the hospital while i followed with the car and brian. Luckily Obici hospital was close by. I called dean on my way there just to let him know what was happening since i didn't know how long we would be at the hospital. They took some X-rays and temporarily closed it up. Dean met me up there and kinda helped keep Brian calm since he was tired of being in his stroller at that point. After they closed it up she was discharged.
She still never got to see the furniture we bought, so I guess she'll have to wait until it gets here now. Me and Dean went back to the store to let them know how things were going and to take pictures of our bedroom furniture. I can't wait to post the pictures of our furniture after we get it all set up and decorated! Stay tuned!

Play in the park

It was such a nice day today that we went to the park and played. Brian had fun as usual. Here are some pictures!

3 weeks and 5 days and counting!

Well our due date is right around the corner. We had another visit with the doctor today. I am 1cm dilated, softened, and he has dropped down into a head first position. Hopefully it won't b much longer. Even tho we are making progress he doesn't know if I will go into labor early or not. He thinks I probably won't make it to March 1st but close. He's not worried and we go back next week! I'm very excited to get this little guy out and to meet him!

Another Prenatal Visit

Nothing new to report. Everything is fine and going the way it should be. We go back next week.

A pointless visit...

Well we had a pretty pointless visit today with the prenatal doctor. All they did was listen to the heartbeat and tell me that he was still there. I could have told him that! It's a really good thing that our insurance pays for these visits and that there are no co-pays. If I had to pay even $10 for that visit I would be angry. lol We go back again in two weeks and that is when we start internal exams to check for progress and then start going weekly until he makes his arrival.

So nothing new, Nathan is still in here and pressing every last nerve, LITERALLY!

My Birthday

Well I celebrated my 22nd birthday this past weekend. We went out to eat with my grandparents and my mom. We went to Warrrior's Mongolian Grill. That place is awesome! There food is always great! After lunch my mom took Brian and Dean and I went to go get me some brand new shoes! After looking for what seemed like forever, we finally found some. Then we went and got the paint so we could paint the dresser we picked up for free off of Craigslist for Nathan. (more on that coming soon) Overall I had a great birthday!
