Argh No More

"Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember."

~Oscar Levant

And believe me I will remember for a long time how happy I was to hear the Dr tell me today that she is "putting me on the books" for Sunday. I know in an earlier post I questioned what the point would be to be induced on the 2nd when I'm due on the 5th anyway, but I've changed my mind. The baby doesn't know what day it is and I truly think that if it were up to him I would still be pregnant on Christmas! Just think... I will be the mother of a beautiful baby boy come Monday! Wow!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

"No matter how discouraged we get, God has not asked us to do the impossible."

~~George Grace

I have to keep telling myself that after my latest Dr appt. Last week she told me that she was going to start me on Cervadil on the evening of the 28th. Well, now she is telling me that IF she induces my labor it will not be until the evening of the 29th. Which means I would miss Halloween with Rubi. She also said that maybe she will wait until the 2nd. What is the point of that when I'm due on the 5th anyway, and what's a couple of ounces going to matter when he's already over 8lbs?!?!?!?

Anyway, don't mind me - this is just the rambling frustrations of a VERY uncomfortable pregnant woman!

Whoa Mama!

Well, my "worst" fears were confirmed yesterday at my sonogram! As of yesterday morning at 10:30 am Owen's weight is 7lbs 10oz. Come again!?!?!?!? I still have 3 weeks until my due date! He sure is cute though - he was kicking, "breathing" and blinking. Awww! Oh, and he's still a boy - nothing changed in that department. :) I go back in to see the Dr tomorrow and we'll see what she has to say about Owen's size - I'll let you all know soon.

Bye bye Pami!

It has been one week since we took Rubi's beloved "Pami" away. We had been telling her it was "Yucky" so in the last weeks she had been lovingly referring to it as "Yucky Pami" - not the outcome we had been looking for. In the end we just had to take the leap and cut all the ends and throw them away. I wanted to cry just as badly as she did but we all made it through relatively unharmed. Once in awhile Rubi still asks for Pami but I remind her that we don't need Pami anymore and she says, "Pami broken. In trash." Breaks my heart - my little girl is growing up.

Sonogram Here We Come!

Well, I went to the Dr on Monday. At that time I was 3 days short of being 36 weeks and I was measuring slightly over 39 weeks, so I am now scheduled for a sonogram because I am "large for gestational age". I swear the little booger is a monster! I told John that I am going to have the sonographer (I think that's what you call them) double check that Owen is still a boy! :)
Anyway, I have the sono on Monday and then I go back to the Dr on Wednesday for another exam. Maybe she will schedule an induction? Wishful thinking I'm sure!

In Loving Memory

My brother-in-laws brother Zach passed on yesterday afternoon (09.30.08). He will be missed tremendously. Please keep the family in your prayers - especially his 2 teenage sons.
