No Baby yet...

Were ready and waiting for our little guy to come. I really want to see him but I'm so not excited about giving birth. I wish i could push a button and then he's here, no pain, no water, no-blood, no weird ness or getting cut open. I think it would make life so much easier. But that's not the case.... I hope for a smooth delivery... I'm just not to happy about that part but I know it will be all worth it in the end when I see his little face. Well that's it for now... Have a great saturday and will see if he comes...

40 weeks and 2 day...still hanging on!

40 weeks and 2 day...still hanging on!

WELL...I will be hitting my due in 2 days, but Ashton is on his own time schedule... I had an appointment yesterday and they told me I'm still dilated to 2, like last week... Even though he looks like he has dropped a lot his little booty and feet are still pushing on my ribs. OUCH!!! They thought by now I would be in labor and delivery but that's not the case... So the doctor says more then likely she thinks all have our little bundle of joy by Monday but will see. He's in the correct position and I've had a little contractions this week but nothing to go to the hospital about but I wasn't sure for a minute their if I should have or not and I didn't and it was for the best. I am happy I made it threw this week because it was crazy with work and I had so much to do before I leave and I did it... My last day will be today.

Dr V also is convinced that he will come on his own within the next 1-4 days. She reminded us that not all babies are ready once they "drop" before birth, some people don't hit major pain or water breaking until labor is fully on at the hospital. She gave us the close run down to fully watch for this weekend and next week. I know he's doing well and his heart beat is at 145-150 and he's safe in there with no problems which makes me feel good knowing that. I couldn't ask for a better doctor, she has been so great and totally gets it plus it helps that she been there as well and is great at what she does. So we will be waiting just a little longer for our little AJ to arrive. We wont be heading anywhere far this weekend just in case but I'm happy that all is ok and there is nothing to worry about...No matter the final outcome, weather he comes or they induce me or not, I know I have done everything I could and hope to still have a natural birth for my birth plan, I will be so happy but for some reason that has to change because it would harm Ashton then that's fine to. What ever will make a safe delivery at this point is OK with me...
So my mom and Amy wont be sharing there birthday with Ashton but my parents could still share there wedding anniversary with him, will see.
So that's it for now, it's Friday and I need to try to sleep a bit before my big last day of work... WOW how weird is that!!!

10 more days tell my due date...

Here's a sneak peak of out pictures we had done..

Waiting Game is on....

Just waiting for our little bundle of joy to arrive. We had an appointment today, and she asked if we were ready for him yet and we said yes :) So she did her check and I'm dilated 2 centimeters and 80% thinned out on the second lining but not there yet... Can you say OUCH!!! no thank you, all just continue to wait it out! I know when he's ready- all know it, I don't need to rush it as it will happen soon... We'll just let nature take its course :) I'm just a happy camper and looking like I have a watermelon or basketball in my tummy. If I need to be pregnant another week and 2 days then that's what all do...that's fine with me, besides then I will know he's healthy and wants to come into this world, Ashton seems pretty happy and healthy in there now with a great heart beat, so why mess that up... He continues to drop as I can see it each day now. I'm okay with that too. My official due date is Tuesday the 22nd, if he's not here by then will see what Dr. Veron has to say. I have a pretty good feeling he'll be here before then like maybe that weekend going into the first part of that week is what my gut tell me. We'll just wait and see. So have a good night... All keep you posted tomorrow or the next day.

A poem to Our little Ashton....

As we wait for Our baby to be born, she thinks of the blessings that she will bestow upon him.

(this poem was given to me by a friend of mine)

To My Unborn Child

To my unborn child,
what I wish to give you in times to come,
happiness, and wisdom,
a life filled with fun,
to explore all adventures of your curious mind,
to become knowledgeable of what you'll find,
as I await your arrival and the presence of newborn cries,
I picture how you'll look when I open up my eyes.
I feel your movements every time I wake each day,
letting mommy know that you’re okay,
obstacles I hope you'll overcome,
education I know you'll get done,
I stay up late reading to you,
talking to my stomach,
a feeling I never knew,
hungry all the time
'No doubt you're a son of mine',
You make me feel happy even when I'm sad,
because the formation of another life makes me glad.
Proud of you I am,
I already know how you'll be,
a smart 'lil' man for mommy to see,
no worries from me a mom to be,
to a special baby boy I can't wait to see.

Oh- little Ashton were so happy your almost here...

15 days and Counting....

As any of you may know I truly feel like a watermelon and that's just where we should be... ha ha!!! It's 15 days from my due date today but it could happen at any time now. I went to the doctors on Friday and all is still great and were both doing good. He's in the right direction and we have nothing to worry about she says. I was 1 center-meter dilated and his heart beat was at 155. So he was right on track. (it's all up to Ashton now)
I feel good but I really started to feel tired this weekend for the first time and pretty uncomfortable, but I cant complain because I have been very lucky and have not had problems the whole pregnancy other then being sick the first 4 months. So were going to take it easy the next 2 weeks and Jonathan has been so great to me and wanting to help in anyway I know he's just waiting for that call from me if he's at work and not with me. He truly is the love of my life and I don't even know what I would do with out him...

I know this is kinda off base now but we spent the weekend with family for my aunts 70th Birthday and it was a blast... Happy Birthday Aunt Joan!!! I learned a great piece of advise that I'm going to do my best to remember when I go into labor. She said if you cant remember anything but this remember that no matter how bad it gets if you stay in your own head and remember how many women have done this without drugs or even a hospital before they really had them and think calm you will be done and your Precious baby will be there before you know it. So I'm going to remember that!!!

Well that's it for now... I'm going to go hang with my bubba and get some R & R before work tomorrow...

WERE RIGHT ON TRACK....

Baby's now the size of a watermelon!
The last bits of vernix caseosa (the white goo keeping baby's skin moist) and lanugo (downy hair) are slowly shedding into your amniotic fluid. Baby's head is about the same circumference as her abdomen, and her head could be covered in an inch or so of hair.
