Still here. Still pregnant.

Happy Saturday! Well I'm still here and I'm still pregnant. It hasn't been so bad, other than there is so much I want and need to do and I'm not supposed to do it! The rest seems to have done the trick though. Thursday night, I was up almost all night with contractions that were pretty regular. I thought for sure that was it. Then, Friday morning it all just kinda stopped. I have occasional contractions that can be quite bad, but they are few and far between now. So, I rest...I'm getting pretty bored. Abby has been a great companion. She knows something is up and is sticking right by my side. She's cute. And Brian is great. He's busily getting things ready. He's putting together baby stuff, cleaning, running my errands, packed our bags, all the things we thought we had another 3 or so weeks to get done. And it still could be another week or so...or...it could be today! Christmas shopping is pretty much a dream right now. I hope everyone will understand! If I'm home much longer, I suppose I can get some internet shopping done. The doctor did say I can go back to work next week if no baby and no contractions. She did say the only reason she would allow that is because she is "more comfortable" with me going into labor next week. So, we'll see. Another words, as soon as I get moving she thinks I'll have this baby.


Hope everyone is well. We'll keep you updated. I thought I would add an old Christmas picture of our family so far. Soon, there will be a fourth there!

Love you all!

Ok, so here's an update for you! I am home with my feet up, "taking it easy." Why? Well, I started having some pretty good contractions this morning. To the point where I thought I should call the doctor. Of course they said to come in to check me. Well, I was having contractions, I am dilated to 2cm, and freaking out. The contractions are still not regular and when I rested on the monitor for a while I was able to go about 20minutes without one which means I'm not quite ready, but close. The doctor ordered me to come home, rest, and call if anything changes or they become more regular. The doctor did say to make an appointment for one week but that she will "likely see me sooner." I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I know this could go a while longer still. And the doctor is pretty set on me trying to stay pregnant another week as I am only 35weeks right now, but didn't seem too confident that would happen. We'll see. I'm excited but nervous. I know it's a bit early and I just want what's best for him. The doctor wants me to be done with work which stinks because I wanted to take all my time off with my baby. But, again, I want what's best for my little man, so I'm staying home from work. I think that's about it. I hope daytime tv has improved some since last I was able to experience it!

Love you all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy December Everyone! I thought I would include a picture my sister, Stephanie, took this weekend at the cottage of my three nieces and one of my nephews. From the left, it's Devin(6), Meghan(5), Morgan(2), and Lianna(8). Brian, Abby, and I had a great time at the cottage with my family this past weekend. Abby is exhausted! She had a ball playing on the beach with Lily, Madie, and Syd (all the dogs). I did pretty well. I'm feeling HUGE! We really only have a few more weeks until baby boy Bishop joins us. My family was great, and helped me just take it easy. The kids are so sweet! They would bring me my water, draw me pictures, and were just so stinking cute! They reminded me how fast time goes by. I feel like each and every one of them were born yesterday, and now look at them! Blake is the only one not in the picture and I hope to get a video of him up soon. He is so adorable and just made me want my little boy.

I spoke with Jen yesterday and she and Jackson are home and adjusting well. They're both mending well and it sounds like Scott is taking good care of both of them. I cannot wait to see them all and hold that baby!

Other than us just waiting to have this baby and trying to get everything done prior to, not a whole lot going on. Christmas shopping has yet to get started, we still need a crib (yikes), find a day care (yikes yikes), and I can barely move once I get done with work to do any of it. I started putting up Christmas decorations tonight and now I'm waiting for Brian to get home to finish because I'm so sore and tired. We'll get it all done.

Happy December to all!
