39 weeks, disappointed

So no baby yet :-(. So we went to our doctors appointment today excited to get my membrane sweep, and unfortunately my cervix is still to high up so I wasn't able to do it. I def walked out feeling bummed out I never wanted to get induced, but if baby isn't out in a week then we might have to start talking about getting induced in a couple of weeks. I am really scared about getting induced so I hope in the next week something will happen to get things going. Please pray for us guys I know getting induced isn't the worst thing but just wanted things to happen naturally.


symptoms

• fingers still hurt
• some swelling in my hands
• tired
• emotional

cravings

• snickers ice cream

So ready!

This week I am38 weeks pregnant and starting to get over it ugh. Lots of changes my belly dropped yesterday and I lost my mucus plug! On Monday night I woke up with horrible  pains in my stomach and I thought it was something I ate except they would come and go and thats when I realized they were contractions, they were lasting about a minute long and about five to ten minutes apart, they lasted three hours and eventually they went away. So it was our first false alarm, hopefully next time I feel contractions I will actually go into labor!

We had a doctors appointment today and I was checked to see if I was dilated more and I am one cm dilated and about 80% effaced. I was hoping I would be more dilated but I guess its just time to start doing all those crazy things to get myself induced. I  am getting a membrane sweep next week but again I am hoping to go into labor sooner than that lol.

 I have been super tired lately, I have to take naps throughout the day other wise I get super cranky and I am just not a happy camper. I have been crampy a lot, and have been having a lot of braxton hicks as well. I also was super sick this past week I couldn't even get out of bed it was horrible having morning sickness this far along but I am so happy it passed. 

cravings this week are pretty much just ginger ale and fries.

So hopefully this will be my last pregnant entry but either way I will keep u guys updated, also I am thinking of having Justin update you all during labor through facebook, I know a lot of family and friends want to be posted and obviously Justin or myself won't be able to call everyone during labor so we will keep u updated via facebook. Pray for us guys! 

36 weeks, baby shower, nursery!

36 weeks and five days! Time is flying, and I am starting to feel like I wish I had more time to get ready, but ready or not....


At our last doctors appointment I got the strep b and iron test, and everything came out good! I also had my first internal exam and I am almost one cm dilated so I was pretty excited to find out that my body is getting ready, I am hoping I don't have to be induced.

My mother in law and grandmother in law hosted my baby shower a couple of weeks ago and it was so beautiful and fun! I had a blast hanging out with my in law family. We got more than I could have asked for. Olivia is going to be very loved and spoiled! 

I also had my maternity pictures taken this week and I wasn't feeling to great but I am glad we got some good pictures!


Justin and I finished the nursery! Well I am sure I will keep adding things until she is born but for the most part its done lol.
