Just plain UNCOMFORTABLE...

It continues! I am uncomfortable most of the time. I am the most uncomfortable sleeping. And they say the sleepless nights come after the baby is born, I beg to differ! The baby offically has NO MORE room in my belly...or so it feels! Every way I move I feel a leg, arm, back, or whatever body part it may be, in my ribs...stomach...the list only goes on! My feet have started to SWELL as well as my fingers! But it is all for a wonderful reason! Soon we will get to welcome this little man into the world...maybe not soon enough(in my eyes)...but soon!! :-) Wednesday is my 37 week check up so we'll see if I have progressed at all!

Tom is off to the hunting shack in Wadena for the weekend...so it is me and the dogs holding down the home. He left Friday and will be home Sunday. It is pretty much the last weekend he is able to go until deer hunting...just in case I would go into labor early! The dogs are pretty much lost without him...they bark at EVERY noise or car that drives by. My protective girls, I guess!

Well that is all for now! Hope all is well with everyone.

36 WEEKS AND GROWING...

Well I had my 36 week check up yesterday. Once again everything is going fine! My belly is measuring in at 37.5 cm, I've gained a total of 35.5 pounds, and his heart beat was in the higher 130's. His head is still down and he is ready to go! The doctor checked to see if I was dialated at all and I am 1 cm & 25% efaced...could be like that for the next 4 weeks, but you gotta start somewhere, right?! I now go to the doctor every week until he is here :-) So hopefully it will help the last month cruise by a bit! Everything is now offically READY! Our bags are packed and the baby's room is ALL ready! So now is the waiting game! I have been starting to get a little more uncomfortable especially when it comes time to sleeping! Only 4 more weeks though :-) Bryce keeps reminding me he wants me to be at his house on his birthday, Oct. 27, and I am due the 21. I told him I'd try my hardest...he doesn't think it would be so cool to have his cousin born on his birthday! That's all for now!

Playhouse

I put a couple of pictures up of the new playhouse! It now has steps and the deck is complete! The grand kids are sure going to have some fun! Grandpa too!!!!

34 weeks & counting!

Well, I had my 34 week check up yesterday. All is well! I gained 4 more pounds, my belly is measuring in at 34 cm, & his heart beat was 140. His head is still down, his back is on the left side of my tummy, with his hands and feet on the right. My doctor said we are both where we need to be! My hips have really been starting to hurt the last couple of days...just getting ready for him to come, I guess!

I went to my sister's on Saturday(6) and we went through clothes, 0-12 months. Thank goodness she has 2 boys!! I finished washing up the 0-6 month clothes last night and put them all away. His crib & craddle are made, car seat & diaper bag ready...all we need is him now! I still need to pack my bag, but with 6 weeks left, we are pretty much ready. Well as ready as we can be I guess!!!!

Sounds like Bryce & Hunter are enjoying school. Hunter had to miss his first day since he had a high temp. But the second day went well. Bryce already had a birthday party for one of his buddies, so all in all I think things are good.

Well that's it for now! Hope all is well!

Long Weekend Gone...Back To Reality!

Well Labor Day Weekend came and went with a flash! It was here and before you know it, it is gone. Then it is back to reality...WORK. Ugh! I really didn't do much the whole weekend, which was kind of nice for once. I didn't end up going to Paul & Krista's wedding...Sorry guys, but CONGRATS! I heard it was beautiful! A friend of mine lost her dad Thursday evening so Friday after work was spent with her and some other friends. It was a late night and I took advatage of the "no work, I'm gonna sleep in" mode! I cleaned up around the house Saturday and got some things that Tom had forgotten for the mud run. I made my way out there by about 3 or 4 o' clock with his Mom & Step-Dad. We spent the night Saturday and hung out Sunday. It was HOT! I looked like a lobster with coon eyes by Sunday evening! Tom's truck was having some problems and he still isn't quite sure what it is, but he did get some mudding in! I got some good footage from the sidelines...now if only I can figure out how to post a video, I can show all of you what the Mud Runs are all about! We came home Sunday evening, unpacked, did some laundry, & got the dogs. By that time we were both so wiped out from the fresh air we pretty much just sat on the couch in the AC! Monday was spent cleaning and finishing up laundry. I went to Mom & Dad's to see the progress on the "playhouse". It is more of a child's DREAM house! LOL I will post some pictures once I get them uploaded. Shannon watched Lili for me while I went to the wake. Mom ended up taking over for a bit. And then it was home to get ready for the week. Not working on Monday is nice, but it really messes with the schedule! I can't believe it is already Wednesday! Bryce & Hunt started FIRST grade Tuesday. Still have to get reports on how things went! All in all it was a good weekend...just sad to see it had to come to an end! Hope all is well with you and yours!
