So I have notexactly made it to the weekly updates or even monthly. Hopefully I will get better at it when I have more exciting baby news to talk about. Since my last post we moved into our beautiful new house. I am so blessed to have such a great husband and family to make the move happen. I was absolutely useless, other than causing more stress and supervising the whole process. We pretty much have everything unpacked and the way we want it with the exception of Jeremy's "Man Cave" and the guest room that we still have to move the furniture into. I am quite pleased with how things have turned out with the house. We have only had a couple of issues that we have had to get with Tru Homes about. One being the plumbing issue that caused me to have a true hormonal pregnant woman breakdown and resulted in a convoy of plumber, the representative that sold us the house and my husband rushing to get to the house to calm me down. Everything turned out fine, they have to repair a couple of things, but that will be completed very soon and there was no major damage.
The nursery if officially done with the exception of two decals I ordered at the last minute. For someone that always said she did not want to have a girly girl nursery with pink, I have certainly loaded up the nursery with pink and girly girl. At least I did not pain the walls pink :) I love just going into her room and smelling the baby smell and rocking in the rocker. I can't wait for her to be here!
Now here we are June 29, 2011 and my due date has been moved to July 3 rather than July 10 Caitlyn currently weighs 7lbs, 9oz and is turned head down. I am 2 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced, as my good friend Christine would say I am ripe. The doctor said he would be surprised to see me at my appointment next week and is definite that I will not be in for an appointment the following week. I have already had 2 scares on Friday and Sunday. My contractions reached 15 minutes apart for several hours and then backed off again. I felt certain she was coming each time, but no such luck. I am trying everything safe to get labor started, but I guess she will come when she wants to come. I have decided after my adventure on Sunday evening at the end of my shift of work that if I make it to this Sunday it is going to be my last day of work. I am in a lot of pain each day. There is no such thing as a desk job in retail so I do not have the pleasure of sitting when I hurt and just have to work on through so I am going to start my leave one day after my new due date and rest. I have said all along that I am going to work until the day she comes, but my body is telling me that I cannot continue do that, especially since I also have a 50 minute drive to and from work. I have never really been one to listen to my body, but I have to start listening and thinking about the life that is inside me and take care of myself so I can take care of her. Besides it will be kind of nice to sit back and relax some if I do not have her before Sunday and take care of some things I have been putting off.
I think I have once again caught up on everything. I should definitely be able to update at least weekly starting Sunday and become a better blogger :)
