20 Days till our Due Date

We are getting down there now.. Only 20 days to go until our due date. We are getting more and more excited.. and more and more ready for Brandon to come out and play with us. Today we have our 37 week appointment. At the last one they did a full cervix check and found I am not Dialated at all yet. However, he did say that Brandon has now dropped down a lot and his head is Way way low into my pelvis now. (which explaines why my pelvis seems to feel like it is about to break in half). So we'll see what they say today.

I have been feeling ok.. I have good days and bad. Yesterday was a really good day.. Very Minimal back pain and my Pelvis was doing much better. However the day before that my back hurt soo soo bad I could barley stand it. I had to lay in one particular position on the couch for hours without moving, it was the only way I couldnt feel my back hurt.

We were supposed to make it to Aberdeen for christmas this year, however we couldn't make it due the the Big Blizzard MN and SD got. It was not fun. So we ended up staying in the cities, we didnt wanna risk getting stuck somewhere in the middle of MN or SD in the ditch.. With our luck that is when we would have went into labor. So we ended up staying here. Which was too bad but it did end up ok. My family is here. Well a lot of them. So we were able to spend Christmas day with My parents and see some of my family that did make it in from out of town.

Sounds like Jerry and Mary are going to be coming up here this week for Jason's Birthday. so that should be fun times.

Also we are having my Uncle Roy come over this coming satruday to put up the Chair Rail in Brandons room. Once that is up all we have to do is hang some pictures and we are done with his room. I can't wait to see it all put together. Also that same day my Dad is going to come over and help us install our new kitchen faucet that we got from my Uncle Kenney for christmas. He owns his own Company called SappCo. and he mostly sells faucets, fixutres, toilets, showers.. that type of stuff. So he gave us a new faucet that I wanted for Christmas. I am very excited as well to see that all put together.


Until Next time.. ta ta

Almost 9 Months along now

So.. It's getting down there now, We are technically 35 weeks along, so only about 5 or so weeks left to go. With the holidays coming up we are hoping time goes fast.

We are getting so close to getting Brandon's room done. All we need at this point are the chair rails to be put up.. All the painting is done and furniture is all put together. I will post some pics of the progress.

Our next doc appointment is on Dec 21st, after that one we will be going once a week until Brandon is born. At this next appointment they will do a full check to see if I am dialated at all and all that good stuff. We also will determine at that appointment if going to Aberdeen for Christmas is going to be doable or not. We are really hoping so, as we havent been there for christmas in a few years.

I have been feeling ok.. My hip is really really bothering me now. Mostly just my left hip. I guess the doc says that Brandon is now head down and pushing his head up against my hip/pelvis getting ready for his big enterance.. My Sciatic nerve pain however is pretty much gone at this point so thats good news. I am still having some back pain but have been taking lots of baths and getting lots of massages from Jason to help out with that.

I am offically done working as of Friday this week. Thursday is my last day for the next 4 months. And I am sooooo looking forward to it, as now an 8 hour shift just about kills me. I am normally in so much pain by the end of the night it is hard for me to even get to sleep at night. So Luckly, I only have to worry about wednesday and thursday to get through and then I can start to relax.

I guess that's about all that is new for now. If I don't post anything till christmas, we hope that everyone has a very merry chirstmas and a very happy new year. Love the Sandmeier's!
