39 Week Appointment

Well we made our 39 Week appointment yesterday, Friday the 11th.  
I was discouraged because last week, little miss had moved herself up some from her low position the week before and decided that helping mommy go from fingertip dilated to NOTHING at my 38 week was fun!.. I was def, not happy about this at all!
 

But this week was def. more positive!! 
I had a long conversation with  my doctor and found out great information to all my unanswered questions! I really love this doctor!

Well anyway so here are the details, if you are not wanting to know the TMI, the stop reading now!!
I was measuring 39 weeks, (same as the week before) which is a good sign she said! I didn't gain anymore, and Bralyn has DROPPED back to where she belongs!! I knew my Pelvic bones felt bruised! (*SERIOUSLY they do).
I am also 1 cm dilated AMEN!! only 9 more to go!!
 After finding out my doctor doesn't induce until you go late, she said could Scrap my Membranes though and it might start contractions or at most help me dilate more!!
YAY! Ok great I said, *um not realizing it HURTS like nobodies business*..
Anyway with that said and done, I have had some small contractions and pains here and there since last night!
PRAYING in the next day or two something FUN happens!
If not we might try that Castrol Oil!
My family here for the week, and I am ready to meet our ANGEL!

They also predicted she would be like 7 1/2- 8 pounds at birth! AMEN no 9-10 pound baby!!  SO come on BABY GIRL! we are ready to meet you!

(next appointment is March 17th.. don't really wanna make that one. haha)

Patrick's Injury

So Patrick has to not only Coach Football (yearly job seriously), Teach, be a Husband, and Soon to be Daddy, but he has to coach Track too :( ... 
At Harnett Central you have to coach 2 sports, so Track was given to him! Although I can't complain of the blessing the extra little income is, I will say it now takes him away from us in the evenings for practice, weekends (Saturdays like today) and late night meets on Thursdays or Fridays.  

Well his first meet with the team was last Thursday the 3rd of March. 
I receive this text from him about 6pm that night, that read, "So I think I need Stitches".  
What?!!   he went on to say I got in the head, but not going to the Hospital. See you when I get home!


Well lets just say, he probably should have gotten Stitches (but he is a true man, lol). 
He was warming up his guys/girls he coaches with the disks and one sweet girl lost her grip or let go and it came straight for his head!  Right above his left eyebrow!  THANKFULLY his glasses got most of the hit or I am sure it would have been a much deeper gash! 


(let me pause to say the Oakley's I got him as a Wedding gift.. Yep those.. AHH!! But the lenses can always be replaced. :(....)


Well we kept bandaids on it and butterfly strips, and on Friday at school the nurse used the Glue to seal it. 
It has been now a week and 2 days and it is still semi open and def. there! But the good news it is finally looking better!  The bruises for days after made it very pretty!! haha!!


His favorite part of the story was that when I realized he was fine, I said. Babe what about when we have Bralyn and the pictures in the hospital. Your all beat up haha!


But listen that is all I have on my brain right now is having this sweet angel! So can you blame me??!! Please come on people I am getting to my due date, no baby yet, I am HORMONAL at best!!


(thought you would enjoy this story haha!)

38 Week Appointment

On Friday the 4th I had my 38 week appointment!.. It was a good appointment to the fact that Bralyn was VERY ACTIVE yet again, and her heartbeat was 137, which it has been, which is GOOD!.. 
I always enjoy  hearing her sweet little heartbeat!
I am measuring 39 weeks, and they have me at 37 weeks still, so due to measuring 2 weeks ahead, this week I am going to check and see if we can get an estimate of her weight!
Still nervous about if she might be 9-10 pounds OUCH!.. Not gonna happen with this girl.. haha!


We had no more progress, but I had a LONG talk with her and told her that the 24th was NO OPTION! So maybe she will listen to her mommy and come this coming week!
My family will be in town on Saturday the 12th -18th. so If she wants to arrive in that time, SHE NEEDS too!!

My 39 week appointment is this coming Friday the 11th!.. :)  So ready to meet this precious angel and start our family and life of 3~
