I've officially been pregnant longer with this baby than I was with "A". ☺
My next appointment is tomorrow (Wednesday the 8th) at 245pm. Who would have thought I would still be pregnant? I guess my doctor's "any day now" back in March turned into "any week".
You can't stay pregnant forever.....you can't stay pregnant forever....can you?

39 weeks and a false alarm
Quick update on me...
We ended up in L&D about 330am this morning. I woke up at midnight with contractions. A little before 2am they started getting very intense and were consistently 5 minutes apart. I called up to L&D and they suggested calling the OB on call. He called me back around 3am and told me to come in and they will check me.
I woke up the hubby, we got "A" and dropped her off at my parents house and headed to the hospital. Of course by the time we get there the contractions stop. Go figure....
They hooked me up to the monitors and the nurse came in to check me. I was only 2.5 cm. =( I was hoping I would be farther along! We tried to get some sleep. I woke up at 6am and realized nothing was happening. My hubby went and asked the nurse if we could just go home but they can't release me until a doctor sees me. Around 7am the contractions started back up again but were about 6-7 minutes apart.
Dr B (I was so glad to see him and not the doctor on call!) came in a little before 8am to check on me. I was 75% effaced, 2.5 cm dilated and the baby was at station -2. He was releasing me to go home and told me to come back when the contractions were 3-4 minutes apart. He's guessing I'll be back in 24-48 hours but only time will tell! He thinks my contractions (still only 6-7mins apart) are helping to thin my cervix. Let's hope so!
I asked him if I still needed to see him for my 10am office visit and he said no. ☺ If I don't have the baby before, I am to come back in on my due date - Friday April 10th.
Thankfully "A" was at my sister's house. She took her son and "A" to the zoo and park this morning which allowed My hubby and I to go home and get caught up on sleep. I had been awake since midnight and he since 3am. We took a nice long nap, went to town and had lunch together and then went and picked up "A" from my sister's house.
Now we are home just chilling.....waiting to see what is going to happen and when it's going to happen.

Diamonds are a girls best friend.
April 1st....
Well it looks like there won't be a March baby in this family after all. ☺
My mom and dad gave me a birthstone necklace for Christmas. It has three birthstone charms. One for May (my birthday), one for November ("A"'s birthday) and one for April (Baby B's due date/birthday). The big joke was if Baby B was born in March (which was a good possibility....) we'd have to go get a new charm.
I guess she really wants the diamond to be her birthstone. Can you blame her?
I'm definitely closer to meeting our little girl. Not only by the date on the calendar but I can just tell. A couple times I thought it was "the time". I had contractions 5 minutes apart and then they quit - just like that.
At least my toes are now ready. ☺ The other night before going to bed I decided that I needed to feel pretty so I painted my toes. Have you ever seen a 9 month pregnant lady paint her toenails? It was quite funny, but they look pretty good if I do say so myself!
My next appointment is tomorrow morning. I'm so anxious to see how far I've progressed. It was at my 39 week appointment with "A" that I found out I had been contracting and wasn't really feeling anything. At that appointment they checked me and I was 100% effaced and dilated to 5-6cm already. They sent me over to the hospital and I had her 6.5 hours later.
So stay tuned.....

Surprise!
They got me and I'm hard to surprise. ☺
I thought I was going to a MOPS steering team meeting yesterday afternoon. It ended up being a surprise baby shower for me. I was speechless!
I have such a great group of friends. Thank you, you know who you ladies are.

My positive thought for the day
It's so easy to get down and be negative when you are in the final days and weeks of your pregnancy. The aches and pains, the pressure, the waiting.
Here's my positive thought for the day: Every day I wake up is a day closer to delivery. ☺ No one stays pregnant forever. She'll come out - eventually. ♥
