Appointment

Well, I had my appt this past Tues and the doctor suggested that I have an induction because he doesn't want me to go pass my due date. He wanted to do it today but I asked if we could do it Mon instead. I wanted to go as close to my due date as possible.

So, as of now, I am scheduled to be at the hospital Mon. morning at 4 am. Please pray for a healthy and safe labor, delivery and baby boy. We are all sick here and I'm hoping we can all get better before Mon. I'm taking Tylenol cold and trying to get as much rest as possible.

Easter '09

Update!

So I realized that I haven't updated my blog in a few days and some of you are wondering if baby boy is here yet. Well, not he's not! He's still hanging out:) I'm so-o-o ready even though my due date isn't until 9 days. I'm trying to be patient!! My next appt is this coming Tuesday.

In the meantime I've been keeping myself occupied by playing with Eden. I bought some small hair curlers and put them in Eden's hair. She was so good while I was putting them in and actually kept them in through her nap. When I took them out she was so cute. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to leave them in long enough this morning for church so the curls fell out quickly.

Progress!

Yesterday, Tues. April 7th, I had my weekly doctor's appt. At that time I was dilated 1-2cm and effaced 50%. I had contractions the night before but they didn't last. It's very interesting this time around because with Eden I was in the hospital at 1cm and had her within 7 hours. I haven't had any noticeable contractions all day today so it's weird. I have my bags packed and I'm ready any time to head to the hospital. I am just so ready to meet my sweet boy. My doctor offered for me to schedule an induction but I chose not to. It was really neat how I just naturally went into labor with Eden and even my water broke naturally. Of course, I wouldn't go pass my due date and my doctor wouldn't allow it, anyway.

I am waiting patiently for God's timing trusting and praying that labor and delivery will go smoothly without any complications and that I will soon be holding a healthy baby boy.

Some pics with my new camera

I am so excited that Ben decided to get my birthday present early this year. He figured he would need to learn how to use it for when we're in the hospital. My old camera dropped and was only working sometimes. I would get so frustrated because it was so unpredictable. It's funny because I felt like how Kate did with her camera on the show John & Kate plus 8. Anyway, I've been having fun especially photographing my Eden.

Nesting = Organization

One of the things that I've put off is organizing Eden's clothes that she's outgrown. I found these Ziploc big bags. The seal well and therefore would work well in the attic. I have a list of things to get done before baby boy comes and it feels great to scratch one thing off the list.

OUCH!

Baby boy has been pressing on my sciatic nerve and that's no good for me. It has caused incredible pain down my right leg to the point where I can't even move sometimes. I really don't like being restricted from doing things especially playing with my Eden but I am realizing it's high time I take it easy.

Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who helps with giving Eden a bath, plays with her on the floor and cleans the kitchen every night. He's so great I don't know what I'd do without him. I am also grateful that my in-laws are taking Eden for a week. I will miss her but it will be nice to get some rest before baby boy comes.
