Finally can post real quick

So I just wanted to say that Cayden will be a week old already on Wednesday! OMG time is flying! Anyway I wanted to put pics from the beginning to now....

membranes swept and induction scheduled....

So I had my membranes swept today which was the MOST painful freakin thing I have ever gone through...I had regular contractions that got to 1.5-2 minutes apart but then stretched out and then nothing happened at all. Now I'm not having any but the most random one here and there...I am so disappointed....I am scheduled for my induction in three days...Thursday at 7 am which is scary but I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo ready! I feel sad because I really wanted to have my water break and go into labor on my own without needing to be induced but it just doesn't look like my body is going to cooperate! UGH!

4-14-2011--thursday check-in....

Well I haven't really had much to blog about other than the annoying azz SOB monster in the basement  and since I  had nothing positive to say I figured that it was better not to post at all. Anyway I'm 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant....yay! I have my "hopefully" last ultra-sound of this pregnancy tomorrow at 11:30am and I'm hoping for the same awesome tech we had last time and hoping maybe we can get a good 3-d facial picture of Cayden to put in his baby book.....if not though the most important thing is to make sure that all is well.

I met the doctor who is my primary care provider for medicaid...I freakin LOVE this guy. He is very open, nice, and non-dismissive...he seems to know his stuff and I'm beyond grateful for the fact that he gave me something to help with the pain I am in constantly. Now I have to admit that indeed I was surprised because he prescribed me Tylenol 3's but I don't see him again for 3 more months and I got prescribed 60 pills BUT I only wanted them to help me through the end of this pregnancy so I don't end up falling out in agony like I almost did last night. It freakin killed me last night so much that it took me a bit to collect myself so I could finish making my dinner and actually eat.

I'm honestly not doing anything today...I told mom and sis that I'm not cooking or anything until after baby is born, I'm not going to cater to grown ass adults who can do it themselves hahaha......too bad I won't stick to that....I will always cook and clean and do anything I can to keep the burden as light as possible on my sister. Mom made tuna helper tonight which I'm really NOT looking forward to...I mean she could have made a decent meal  but whatever I guess at least she cooked. I so need to get in the shower but instead I think I'm going to take a nice relaxing bath in a bit. I helped BIL touch up the paint in the laundry room so now all he has to do is lay the flooring and put the washer and dryer back in place and then paint the outer walls but I'm not sure how long that will take. 

Mom and I went and walked and swang in the park today...it was really nice actually and then all of us (minus SOB) had lunch at Jimmy John's yummy!!! I'm so sleepy now though and especially because of the T3...I took it several hours ago and the pain is back but the sedative effect hasn't worn off so I don't want to take anymore...  :(

only 25 more days....

Well today was a good day...the whole family went to Pepe's and yum I had some hella-good food!
I am so glad that my due date is in 25 days..I realize life and pregnancy is unpredictable in the sense that Cayden will come out when he's good and ready and there is  no way to predict or know for sure when that will happen. I am getting really anxious  though because I really am uncomfortable, tired, have bad insomnia, and just ready to have my little boy in my arms already!

For the past couple of days I've been having long strong period like cramps but I know it's not labor because it calms down when I sit and rest or lay down for a bit. I am still having back pain, and sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up to the upper part of my stomach hurting like I have a pulled muscle but it goes away. 

Anyway I have an appointment with my doctor on Tuesday and my ultra-sound to check for growth on Friday and I can't wait!!!

4-5-2011 After my 36 week checkup...OMG so close!

I am sooooooooooo excited to be able to post that I'm 50% effaced and 1cm dilated! Woot woot! She wants to schedule an induction if indeed I haven't gone into labor in two weeks at my 38 week appointment she will sweep my membranes and schedule an induction. If it isn't medically necessary then I'm not sure I'll do it.

I am beyond ready to meet my little man and I'm ready to hold him!! BUT I want him to be healthy and able to fend on his own without being stressed outside my womb. I love him soooo much already! 

Anyway I'm happy and I want to shout at the world and tell Carmelo but eff him...when I go into labor I'll let him know...other than that I'm not having anything to do with him. 

I can't wait until the 15th...the Friday after next I have my final ultra-sound! I hope this time they can get some good 3d face or profile pics to put in my baby memory book. I really wanted some wonderful pics but so far none are too great but at least he's healthy!  

Only 30 more days!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!

I am grateful beyond belief that things are going well and I'm now down to the thirty dollar home stretch of this much unexpected but highly desired pregnancy! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ready to hold my lil man!
