False Alarms - Again
Monday, June 30, 2008
Had another false alarm Friday night that brought me to my knees. It last for an hour and let me tell you, that pain is no joke. I had two last night in the middle of the night that woke me up out of my sleep. Then this morning at work I had one. To top it all off, my friend Alexis emails me and tells me that his girlfriend's water broke. *gasp* He was running out of the office as we spoke to get to her and then the hospital. I pray she has a safe delivery and healthy baby. I'm sure the baby will be here before the day is over.
Other than that, I feel ok. Just tired all the time again. I feel like I just need to go home and go to bed. I keep trying to do so much yet it's exhausting. I know I shouldn't but hey, things have to get done one way or another.
*sidenote: Lex just texted me and said Shay is at 6cm and that the baby should be here in the next two hours! Wow!*
I'm not sleeping too good at night now. I feel so out of breath, like the wind keeps getting knocked out of me. K kept askign if I was ok, but I had such an attitude with him. I'm just really uncomfortable right now. I wasn't too uncomfortable to get some this morning though. *wink wink* Hey, I'm trying to fit in all I can before I can't do this for 6-8 weeks. LOL
I guess K is going to start staying with me more often since the time is nay. He left is Xbox and some other stuff at my place. I know that guy doesn't travel without that sucker so I know he'll be back. I hate that I'm kinda tettering him off track from getting his stuff done but at the same time this is his child too and he has some sacrifices to make as well. At this point I'm just all about planning and make sure we have everything. Speaking of everything, I'll have to remember to buy an extra set of crib sheets and something for that bassinet. Well, let me get out of here and run out for lunch. Got some errands to run so that I can go straight home today.

False Alarm
Friday, June 27, 2008
Thursday morning around 2am, I woke up with bad back pain. I thought it was just from sleeping in the wrong position so I got on the sofa. That didn't help and I didn't think anything of it. All day yesterday I had the same pains at work and didn't think anything of it. Walking around seemed to help but every now and then I would get hit with a pain that would make me stop. My mom called that afternoon and I was describing the pain to her. Kendall had moved into a knot and was poking out the front of my stomach. She said it sounded like lower back pain and false labor and that I should call the doc.
I stayed on the phone with a nurse for about 20 minutes and had 2 more contractions. They told me to come in and hooked me up to a monitor. Turns out I was having real contractions! They gave me a shot of something to stop them and monitored me for another half hour. The contractions stopped but I was bit out of it for the rest of the day. Poor K. I called him when I got on the phone with the nurse and he was a bit bugged out because he thought it was time. I did too but I knew it couldn't have been. He insisted on coming over last night and stayed with me but I woke up with contractions this morning again. Nothing too bad but managable.
Reality certainly hit me yesterday that the time is emminent because that was the real deal. I'm a little freaked and afraid but if it's time, I can't stop it. Perhaps this will motivate him to order the furniture and get things cracking. My plan is to wait until next weekend and do my grocery shopping but I'm certainly going to pick up the other things I need in the meantime.

34 weeks
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
I forgot to post yesterday due to a crazy work day. We've made it to 34 weeks. My bags and Kendall's bags are packed and in the car. We just need to order the furniture and put the carseat in and we're set. I'm so ready for the kid to get here.
I had my baby shower on Saturday and it was fabulous. My friends and my mom did a great job with decoratin and conducting everything. I couldn't have asked for a better day to welcome my child into the world. I have tons of pictures but K has my camera cord so I'll post them later. My surprised me by giving me a print out the book I wrote when I was 7 years old to hang in Kendall's room. I thought that was really sweet. I got tons of presents and spent the rest of the weekend unpacking them. I finally got all his clothes washed and put away for the time being. I'm still up in the air about this apartment thing right now though. I would love to move somewhere bigger but I want to save money and I keep hearing that the baby sleeps in your room more in one year anyway. No sense in useless space. I will, however, pack up some more my clothes in the closet.
I took a few belly shots yesterday in my nightgown. LOL I need to do one where you can actually see my stomach and tell what's there. I may do that tonight but it would be great to camera cord back from K so I can send out my pictures.
Lately I've been suffereing from nausea and fatigue like it's nobody's business. I have to start my day with ginger ale and go from there. I thought maybe I was dehydrated but I eat pretty regularly and pretty well. Not sure what's up with that. I have a few more purchases to make for Kendall today and then we should be set in terms of being ready for him. Still no breast pump yet but I'll take care of that myself this week. Well, let me get some work done and then go outside during lunch. Maybe it will make me feel better.

Day before the baby shower
Friday, June 20, 2008
Well, 24 hours from now I will be the guest of honor at my baby shower. My mom's side is on the road as we speak, K's family is due to arrive either late tonight or early tomorrow morning and the food is all taken care of. I will be spending the evening at home resting and watching Love Jones. Actually I need to go out and buy some things for my kitchen but I'll take care of that later. Today is all about resting.
K called last night sounding like he was extremely tired. Updated him on the doctor's appointment. I've gained 3 pounds, bringing my total weight gain to 11 pounds, Kendall is estimated to weigh about 4.5 close to 5 now, and he's still breech. Yea, I got me a breech baby but I have a feeling he may turn soon. I'm not going to worry if the docs aren't worried.I go back on July 3 and then I start going every week. She said that they will do an US of his positioning by the next appointment. I'm going to see if K wants to go to the appointment or wait for another one as we get closer. I have to give him that, he's really been there for all the others early on. The once a month's I excuse him from because all I do is pee in a cup, get measured and leave.
Well, let me do some work before I get out of here for the day. I'm heading straight to my mom's to make some pasta salad for this party.

33 weeks appt
Thursday, June 19, 2008
Had my appointment today and it went really well. I've gained another 3 pounds, bringing my total pregnancy weight gain to 11 pounds. Not bad, not bad at all. She estimated that baby boy is weighing just around 4.5 pounds, or a little more. He's doing well; strong heartbeat and all. She able to tell me which position he was in and turns out he's still breech with his back to my side. I have one more two-week appointment scheduled for July 3 and then I'll start seeing them every week. Yikes! I guess its really close now.
Mentally I feel ok. Still haven't some worries about delivery and recovery but I'm sure everything will be fine. It seems I'm the only person worried about that but I guess that's normal. Right?
My friends and I did my belly cast last night. It was a funny experience. Imagine standing topless, slathered in vaseline in your girlfriend's kitchen while 3 of them plaster you. Yea, quite a memorable experience. But here's a picture of the actual cast:

It's pretty cool. I can't wait until we've decided on a name for him and I can decorate it to hang it in his bedroom. Well, our bedroom.
I've pretty much finished everything for the baby shower. I just need to figure out what I'm going to wear and do my hair tonight. My family should be arriving in town tonight and I'm not sure when K's family is getting here. Since my grandmother will be here all weekend, I would love to do something with both the families combined. Again, this is contigent on what other plans he may have for his family. I need to talk to my parents about this tomorrow night anyway.
Other than that, life is grand and there's always more to come. Let me get back to work.
33 weeks
Tuesday, June 17, 2008
I'm 33 weeks today. Apparently baby boy should weigh about 4.5 pounds now and be 19 inches long. Geez, this kid is long! LOL I feel pretty good. Definitely starting to feel his weight. Heavy, heavy, heavy. I'm still walking and trying to get in as much exercise as possible.
The baby shower is a few days off. I'm going to order the cake today, balloons and pick up some stuff for Sheena for the favors. I also need to start preparing my thank you cards and such. I bought all the girls thank you gifts yesterday so that's taken of. I don't have much money so I just got everyone a necklace and card. I wish I could do more but I'm still waiting on a stimulus check they claim I'm going to get. Whatever.
Tomorrow night the girls and I are doing my belly cast. I think this is so cool. One of these days when Kendall has his own room I will hang it up in there. I also wanted K and I to take pictures of me during my pregnancy. I guess I'll have to bring this up to him asap seeing how I'm going to drop this kid soon, like next month.
I was talking to my friend Sharronica the other night and she said she's gained 20 pounds so far! Wow! I thought I was really doing something with my 8.5 weight gain for my whole pregnancy but hey, that works! I have my doctor appointmet on Thursday and should see how I'm weighing then.
Other than that, nothing much to report. Next week is 34 weeks and 8.5 months. Hard to believe that in just 2 more weeks after that I'll be full term. Wow. I just hope baby boy stays up in there until at least week 38. We dont't have anyplace for him to sleep. Speaking of which I'm not sure what the hell is going on with K about ordering this furniture. *rolling eyes* I won;t start this argument today but I'm getting anxious.
I also need to talk to my apartment complex to find out what they are doing about rent. I need to figure out if I need to move or what. Just so much to do and I don't feel like he's taking it serious and trying to help me at all. :(
Well, let me check into this furniture and see what happens.

K and I attended breastfeeding school on Saturday. It was actually quite informative and I feel a little better about trying to bf. I mentioned earlier that had some anixety about it but I think that's only natural. I definitely want to try and do it for as long as I can.
K was so great last night. He massaged my back and even took the polish off my toenails for me. Lord knows I really appreciated that. I even gave him his first father's day gift. It was a record player and some albums. I'm sure he'll spend the rest of the week trying to figure that thing out.
Hell, after as much I paid for it, he better use it! LOL
I'm feeling great these days. The heat some days is a bit unbearable, I feel a little heavy and I'm just moving slower, but other that I'm great. I feel as though I'll miss being pregnant once it's all over. ;( I keep trying to remind myself to enjoy the time now and certainly plan to enjoy the time the baby and I spend on maternity leave. I'm just hoping and praying he doesn't come too early. Let's get him to at least 38 weeks and we'll go from there.
the baby shower is this Saturday. K's family is due to arrive either Friday night or early Saturday morning. From what he told me their going to get a hotel room out by me since it's closer to the shower. Plus we'll all be able to go to my parent's house and spend time there. I'm really excited about the shower because things are really getting real. Not much longer now. Maybe K will go ahead and order the damn furniture. *rolling eyes*. He really thinks someone is going to give us $200 to get this stuff. Whatever. You're crazy as hell. I'm not going to put my faith in anyone to give me that kind of cash for this. But NEWAY, I will do what I have to do in the interim. I do plan to buy another playpen and see he wants to do about that swing. Just so much to do in so little time.
Well, let me get back to work and update my registry one last time before people start buying stuff. 33 weeks tomorrow!

Can't sleep
Friday, June 13, 2008
It's just after midnight here and I can't sleep. I'm not sure what's wrong with me but I can't rest. I would love to be in slumber land but I can't seem to get my mind to ease. I can't say that I have any pregnancy related stress on my mind, although I do have some personal issues on my mind that are kinda of bothering me. I haven't talked to K all week, unless via email counts, and I've barely spoken to my friends either. I guess I just needed some space from everyone. This week depression has been really bad for me.
I was talking to a girlfriend about "the confrontation" of 07. I just keep wondering what's going to happen to me after this baby is here. I know K is here now but can I count on him to want to make things right between us and we try to be a family? One of my blogger friends said that if a man tells you something, believe him because that's just how and who he will be. Part of me hates to think that I will fall into that single parent realm, and the other part of me hopes and prays that one day having a real family will work. I just hate seeing children who go through life with weekend custody and not having both parents there. I just really hate that. I guess I should have thought of that before getting pregnant, huh? LOL. I don't regret ending up pregnant, actually I'm quite happy about it. I just hate the circumstances surrounding my life before the pregnancy.
I've been suffering from boughts of loneliness. It's hard at this point trying to do everything on my own. I'm trying to clean, move stuff, get ready for the baby and physically, it's hard. It's to the point now that even bending down hurts. I hate going through this alone. I can only go to my parents house so many times and I can only blog so many times, and I can only complain to my girlfriends so many times. I just want to feel some sense of relief as my personal life is concerned. On days when things are good, their great; and other days their mediocre. Maybe it's all hormonal. I won't rule that. Maybe this week has just been a rut and will be get better. Yea, that's it. It's just been a rutty week. On that note, I think I'll go to Quiktrip and get a slushy drink.

32 weeks (8 months)
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Well, we've made it to 32 weeks safely. Thank you Jesus. I'm pretty excited at this point because in 3 more weeks I could safely deliver if baby boy was ready to come out (which I'm hoping he's not). I feel pretty good. My feet tend to swell now so I have no shoes that fit. I have a job interview tomorrow and I do hope that they aren't turned off from my belly. I just hope they see me as a great candidate for the position.
I took some pictures today and plan to post them up tomorrow when I get in the office. I'm kinda tired and want to take a nap but I at least wanted to blog about the fact that we've made it this far. Not much longer to go from here. Let's just stay prayful that baby boy doesn't come until he's past 36 weeks.

Doctor's appt today
Thursday, June 5, 2008
I have my doctor's appointment today. I feel ok except for some minor hand and feet swelling and a touch of nausea. Nothing to major but I'm sure she'll notice it too when I'm there today. I plan is to begin discussing my birth plan with her. I want to make sure she knows how and where I stand on things. I haven't really consulted with K on much but I'm sure he's ok with whatever I say.
I took a nap yesterday when I got home and finally got up and did some cleaning. I went to bed around 10:20 and could not fall asleep. I don't know why but this kid wanted to kick all freaking night. I was so exhausted and not to mention my bladder was going to explode by 4:30. I hate waking up then becaus I know my alarm will go off about 6 but I won't get out of bed until 6:15-6:20. I'm so ready to start maternity leave already! Let me have a little break and just kick back or something!
I found a daycare center right around the corner from my house. They've been building it for a while and I think they finally opened. It's $5 more than the other place but it's closer to home. I'm going to stop by soon (hopefully K can make it with me) and see what their about.
I suppose I'm nesting again because I was cleaning out my closet and organizing Kendall's stuff last night. I don't have much but I'm starting to acquire things on a weekly basis. My next purchase will be for a piggy bank for him. I want to have something we can contribute to each week. K is already talking about buying the boy a car at age 15. I'm not big on teenage drivers but K said this was not up for discuss. Umpf! We'll see about that... I swear this guy thinks he can make whatever decisions about this kid as if he's not half mine too. Whatever.
My plan for lunch today is to go out to Target and pick up a few things. I don't need much but I do want to get some stuff for the house. Plus it gives me a chance go walking. I might even stop by the ice cream shop and getting some ice cream. Oooohhhh, that sounds yummy. I also want to get some shelves to put up in my living room tonight to spruce it up. Between that and some curtains, it should really start to come together. I also need to do something about those movies and things I have under the wall unit. Again, another project I'll work on tonight while I'm doing laundry and watching the Lakes vs Celtics game.
Not much else to blog about. Just ready for Kendall to get here. Oh! I would like to say that loudmouth on the otherside of the wall from me has been rather quiet so far today. She had a minor setback this morning but for the most part she's learning to just shut up. Thank goodness!

Not much else to blog about. Just ready for Kendall to get here. Oh! I would like to say that loudmouth on the otherside of the wall from me has been rather quiet so far today. She had a minor setback this morning but for the most part she's learning to just shut up. Thank goodness!
31 weeks
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
We made it to 31 weeks. I feel ok today except from a pulling or stretching sensation on the sides of my stomach. I actually noticed it last night in bed when I rolled over. Like I pulled a muscle. I have to keep reminding myself to take it easy since my stomach and uterus are stretching to accomodate the kid.
I've gotten some more emails from people saying they received their invitations in the mail. Hard to believe that it's almost that time. Last night I actually started packing my bag for the hospital. I was thinking about running out for lunch today to buy a new nightgown and other stuff for my bag. I still need to pack the baby's stuff as well. I'll get to this little by little. My goal today is is to get rid of all the stuff in my hall closet and it out in the storage closet. I'll have my brothers come by today and help me with that.
I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday so I'll address any concerns then. I also need to speak with my midwife about my birth plan as well. Other than that, all is well.

After the weekend
Monday, June 2, 2008
I had a great weekend. K and I went out of town to visit his family. His mother and everyone else fussed over me all weekend. LOL It was really sweet but a bit much at times. They didn't want me lifting a finger, as if I would really sit still. We got in town late last night. We were both dog-tired and passed the heck out...well, not immediately ;) All I plan to do tonight is wash my hair and rest while watching House. Everything else will have to wait for later this week. My car needs a good wash and to be cleaned out in the worst way but I don't think I have the energy to do that today.
Tomorrow I'll be 31 weeks. Still no progress made on the furniture purchase yet. I suppose K will wait until after the baby shower however, I would prefer we have it now and not wait. Anyway, I'm not going to stress it. I'll let him handle this stuff. The invitations for the shower have been sent. Thank goodness some people have already received theirs. Now we just have to pay the rest on the building and finalize decorations. I guess my mom, Estelle and I will get together on this later.
I'm struggling to stay awake here at work. I got some last minute work that came in and will try to take care of it first thing in the morning. That's just the way it goes on a Monday. I have another doctor's appointment on Thursday and then we have that class on Saturday. I guess I'll head over to K house late Friday night or early Saturday morning. The class starts at 9 so we have to be on time. *sigh* Things just got really real.
