October is ending and November is coming!! EEK!!!

Days left until D- DAY!!!

Well the time is getting close as the month is ending (eek!) I only have 18 days left until my due date. I wish I could say I was 100% ready but I am so NOT ready. I am steps closer than I was at the beginning of the month. The crib is up, the stroller is up, I have one load of laundry done. Do I have a bag packed for the hospital?? That's a BIG FAT NO!!!! 

This weekend is my weekend to get that stuff done. I told myself that I want to have all I can get done by the first of November. Cause this little bundle of joy can be coming any day now.I have promised myself also that we do not do any baby stuff when we have Haiden, cause I don't feel its fair to him to be doing nothing but baby stuff when we have him for the weekend when the baby is not here yet. And so far we have been good about making it about what Haiden wants to do when he is with us. Yes, I know it has put us behind on stuff but that's ok too. It will all get done.

BABY BUMP UPDATE: As of 10/29 we weren't even dilated past the size of a finger tip so we will make it to our next appointment. I get to visit the doctor every week now. I feel better about knowing where I stand on being dilated. It sounds weird but I like knowing if I am close or not. The doc says I just need to start having more mini contractions to help with furthering along this process. Mark still thinks she is coming on the 8th but I think if that's gonna happen a lot more pressure has to happen. Stay tuned.

Here are some more of my favorite pictures of Mark & I and the baby bump

No better family dog than Miss Callie!

My dear sweet puppy Callie is the turning into a GREAT dog!! She has been so good with this pregnancy and I bet she is going to be even better when the baby gets here. She already checks out all the baby stuff then just walks away. And if we are putting together anything for the baby she has to be right there with us. I tell Mark all the time that Callie has more pregnancy sympathy symptoms than he does. When I have to pee at night it seems she does too. Callie is going to make a good big sister to the baby. Heck, she is even better with Haiden. We can ask her where is Haiden and she will go find him, or if Haiden is still in bed she will go wake him up if we ask her too.  I could not have asked for a better family dog than Callie. She is a hoot and can be needy but she is always fun and sweet. She was one of the  best birthday present my grandma gave me. She is family!

Baby bump update.

Well the time is winding down but this little girl is not. She is moving and shaking her way into position. I am due 11-18-13 but the way I have been feeling and the pressure I have no idea if I will make it that far. It seems so far away but I know it's not. We still need to finish up some projects and I know I need to pack a bag for the hospital ( that's seems so scary to me). Mark has already said he would put the hazard lights on and drive 90mph to the hospital for us if need be. To me to sounds like any excuse to do that. But I love him and all of his crazy ideas. I feel like little miss has dropped no idea if that's what it looks like to others but wow I am SO ready. I have hit the annoying part of pregnancy when everything aches and you can't get comfortable.

Where does the time go.

WOW time does fly!!! I can't believe that in about 30 days or less, Mark and I will have a new little bundle of joy!! I swear the other day we were just finding out what we are having. We are almost ready for her to get here. The room is starting to come together. Luckily we still have some time left to do the last minute details. I have a sneaky suspicion that little Miss is SO gonna make a early appearance. But hopefully not til after November 1st.

It's getting closer to 'D' day

We are about 5 weeks away from 'D' day and we just put the stroller together. Mark is a HUGE help in doing all it. Of course I read the directions and he just does. But I love how excited he is getting and likes to put the stuff together.

I've told the bambino she has to stay in until at least November 1st. After that date she can come any day. Hopefully she will stay in at least 39-40 weeks. She is getting bigger and I swear I'm waddling more and more.

Hopefully we can get everything ready before she gets here.
