Tuesday!!!!!!

So I had a doctors appointment today and my blood pressure is up again. My medication has been increased to control it until delivery day, which is Tuesday (induction). I am already 3cm dilated so really baby S could decide to come before then.

My mind is racing with things to get done. I am excited but a little shocked knowing only 6 days left.

Waiting....

Everyone in our house is waiting (along with others) for the BIG day. The girls are hugging and kissing my belly more and more. Ashley said tonight "the baby will come tonight." Natasha says almost daily "I can't wait to meet him." I sit and wait as emotions come and go with contractions. I wait for my next doctors appointment. We are living life and having fun waiting for the day but we are all just anxious to meet the little guy.

Adam and I have a friendly little bet going. Adam thinks he will be blonde like the girls and I am guessing he will be a red head like his mama. I actually think I will be the only red head in this family but with the sex and the day known there is not much left to wager on.

I had a doctors appointment last week and I am 1cm dilated. I know it means nothing at this point but the doctor feels much better about inducing with things already "happening." I asked if we were still on for December 16, 2008 and she said if I am still pregnant and she can fit me in...then we are still on. So now obviously there is a chance that December 16 will not be the day but what can I do?? I really hope we still keep that date because I really don't want it to happen on December 23, 2008 (she only does inductions on Tuesday). BUT whatever, there are bigger things in life to worry about and fret over....

Swimming

I want to take the girls swimming again. We always have a great time and the hot tub would feel wonderful these days.

You know what the problem is?? I am having difficutly, with my expanded belly, successfully shaving my bikini line. I am lifting and moving, stretching and pushing things out of the way. It's not a pretty picture.

Baby Room

Two weeks today (at most) we will have a baby boy gracing the walls of this room. Don't worry, he won't be sleeping with a swing inside. Actually, aside from naps here and there, he will actually be sleeping bed side for a couple months. The twin bed is there for a couple of reasons. The main reason is for me. If baby is cluster feeding or having a rough night I have a place to lay down without disrupting Adam (while hes home). The second reason is we don't have another room in the house to put it in. We have our tv room downstair, a spare room (with queen bed), an office, and the toy room. It is also to have an extra bed around for company. Anyway this is the room.

Tree Ornaments

A couple of days ago the girls and I made some tree ornaments from a recipe in CHIRP magazine.

They had to dry for three days, so today was decorating day. We have some left to decorate. We will probably make another batch because of the simplicity of them.

Recipe is:
1 1/2 cups Cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
1/4 cup white glue

Mix everything together until combined. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Roll out (about 1cm thick) and cut into desired shapes. Let dry for 3 days and then decorate.



I forgot to add (thanks Kyliesmom for the comment) that not only are the ornaments easy to make and pretty decorated...they smell fan-fricken-tastic!!!

Sunrise

Beautiful sunrise this morning.
