Help bring home Lily

I have been reading Adrienne's blog for along time now, and recently they have been blessed with the opportunity to adopt again!!! It's been a long journey for them with miscarriages and failed adoptions but it looks like their miracle is about to happen!

If you feel lead to go check out her page and read up on their story. Any $ will help them come closer to bringing home their Lily!

I'm excited for them!

39.2 weeks along.....

Waiting waiting waiting... that's what we do now. :-)

I had a Dr. appt. today and looks like things for progressing for this little one to come! That was good to hear. I am dilated to a 2, 50% effaced and his head is coming down.... and she said any day! I hope sooner rather than later for sure!

I feel like he has dropped quite a bit and feel about 20 months preg! :-P I am so ready for him to come! My stretch marks still are as itchy as ever. I did find that aveeno oatmeal bath and lotion helps alot but doesn't take it completely away.

I went this Monday with my sister and got a pedicure and boy was it nice!

My bags are all packed....

Baby stuff is all ready....

Car seat needs to be put in car still... :-P

Did I say I was ready? :-D

Oh yes! Share

A wonderfull day!

Oh yes that's what today has been so far!

Did you know that today is Chick-fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day! Well before I headed out the door this morning I grabbed some white paper cut out a few cow spots and grabbed a roll of tape.

Yes, I did... I put cow spots all over my black huge prego belly shirt and walked into Chick-li-A for a free sandwich! It was awesome! There was alot of really cool kids dressed up in there cow outfits and one really crazy lady who said shes been doing it for years completely decked out as a cow! Totally worth it! It was fun! Next year who knows I might really get more into it and deck out for a whole free combo meal! :-P

After my free sandwich I headed on over to a wonder pregnancy massage! It was a gift for my birthday and oh boy oh boy was it good! I laid on a prego pillow and for the first time in months the weight of this kid was off my back and it felt ever so good... Kinda got a peek at what I'm gonna feel like in a week or so after this kid is born! :-D The lady did a wonder full job and I was so relaxed I went up to their lunge room and almost feel asleep in there just laying on a couch chilling! It was so nice! For anyone who has never had one I SO recommend one while your pregnant! It was awesome!!!!

We are headed for the day to the beach tomorrow unless I GO IN TO LABOR in the middle of the night tonight! :-P And if the beach doesn't put me into labor than I have a gift certificate for a pedicure that I am gonna go use on Monday! Maybe that will work! :-P

Oh an my belly is driving me BATTY... the stretch marks are.. stretching more? And I can not get ANYTHING to work to relieve the itch! Or stretch for that matter.... I now understand what women mean when they said it drove them crazy! Sigh... Share

37.3 Weeks along

Only 18 more days until my due date! I am getting SO ready to meet my son. I have loved being pregnant but am getting to the stage of “I’m done” being pregnant!!! :-D

Monday night my church family threw me a baby shower and was very nice! I received lots of cute baby stuff and got to finish decorating his room with several things! Lots of baby boy clothes that are just adorable! They also were so sweet and all got together and bought be a whole bunch of scrapbooking items! I have been wanting to do it for so long but haven’t been able to and now I can! I am loving it!

I also had another Dr. apt on Tuesday and looks like everything is going fine. He’s measuring a nice big boy and his heartbeat is strong as ever! I am dilated to a “1 1/2” but that doesn’t mean much in my eyes.. lol Lots of ladies walk around for a long time like that but then again who knows maybe he will come a week early! I am hoping so! Anytime after the 12 of July I am good to go! Andrea is on vacation with her husband and parents until then but after that this kido can come ANYTIME! :-D I’m downing my prego tea like crazy hoping it helps with labor and all that jazz! I have heard lots of great things from people who have used it so I am hoping it works and does SOMETHING for me! :-D

I am trying to stay off my feet as much as possible and take it easy when I can as my ankles get nice and swollen if I am on them to much… is a tad annoying but its nothing major. My Dr. says I am fine and have no signs of toxemia and my blood pressure is great. I just am retaining water like a prego person… she said be prepared to pee buckets once he’s born.

Here is what he’s doing at 37 weeks along.
Your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel. Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. Share
