Almost to the Finish Line

Well.. the pregnancy race is almost over. I can't wait to cross that finish line and get my little sweet reward!! Baby Brandon. We only have two days left now until our due date. I have a feeling I am gonna go over the due date.. But that's ok..

Our last week Doctor Appt. Went ok.. I had somewhat high blood pressure, nothing too serious, but the Doc said we would watch it this week. If it is still High on this monday's appt he may start thinking about induction. He said they also watch for swelling of the feet and ankles, which mine have been pretty good. And also Protin in the Urine sample.. Which mine had none. So that's good.

His room is all finished and ready to go. I rewashed all his clothes and sheets and everything cuz I got that new baby detergant. So now we are truley ready.

I have been feeling pretty good most days. Going to bed is still the hardest part cuz my hips/pelvis area hurts so bad, i feel like it is crushing in half. And it is pretty much impossible to find a comfortable spot to lay in. I have now been taking tylonol each night before I go to bed, and that seems to be helping me sleep a bit better.

Jason also is doing good. He tells Brandon each day to "COME OUT" but Brandon doesn't listen. (hopefully that isn't how it's always gonna be) ha ha.. Jason is very excited to take two weeks off from work and spend it at home with his precious family. He is doing very good at work as well, He just got checked out in another sector at work. Only two more to go and he will be a fully certified Controller. So that's great news. He was really hoping to get that sector finished before going on a leave. So that task is done.

That's all for now. We'll see If i get around to posting again before Brandon's arrival. I can't wait for it.. I know everyone else is excited too. Talk to you all later.

Getting Closer

So we only have about 2 more weeks until our due date. A little less in fact.. ha ha. We went to the doctor today for our 38 week appointment and I am now dialated to a 2. Still not too much but at least it is some progress, also I am 50% effaced. (not sure how to spell that) The doc is hoping any time now that Brandon will come. (WE ARE TOO) It is getting so so hard to be patient. Especially now since his room is all finished and ready for him.

We have another appointment next monday the 11th. Hopefully we wont have to go to it cuz we will be in the hospital before that.. I think chances are slim to none though. ha ha..

We had a busy weekend once again. My little brother Matt and his wife were in town for new years and a wedding in Sioux Falls and also to spend some christmas time with us here in the cities. So yesterday we had a late christmas at my mom's house and opened some more gifts. Jason got a nice Under Armour shirt, I got a really cool Wrought Iron wall hanging for our bedroom and Brandon even got some stuff.. He got LOTS of stuff as well from all of Jason's family the week before that.. I couldn't belive all the gifts he got, and he isn't even born yet. What a lucky little guy.

Tomorrow I am heading over to my friend Jessie's house. She has a girlfriend with some little boys who have outgrown their clothes and since Jessie is going to be having a girl this second time around, she is handing all the boy clothes off to us. Which is SUPER nice. The clothes are all so cute and in such good shape. So we can't wait to go over and get those, and fill Brandon's Drawers and closet even more. It's gonna take me 45 min each day just to pick his outfit. But that's fine. I am so excited for it.

That's all for now. We thank everyone for all the wonderful Christmas gifts.

Hope everyone had a great new year!
