This is getting to be routine.....

We are getting ready to go see the OB in a few hours. Again. I think I am going to poop if she says I still have not dilated or effaced at all.

Truth be told, it'll be okay. Kerri and I both have sinus infections and she also has pink eye. The thought of pushing out a baby without full operation of both nostrils (all the while hacking up green nastiness) is not my idea of a fun time.

Coco must be waiting until we're not sick anymore. You think she can get sick in there? Can the sinus infection pass through the placental barrier. Probably not, right? Because it's centered in my sinus cavity?

40 weeks tomorrow.....

Wanna hear a secret? I am getting really nervous about the thought of pushing Coco out....whoa. The thought of it kinda makes my head swirl just a little bit. I am a bit freaked and Kerri thinks it will be amazing. Easy for her say, huh? It's not her snatch. ;)

Eye Candy at 39 weeks

Very, very lopsided. And what's up with my crooked belly button?

Take that!

They tried to induce with two different medicines, but she wasn't in the mood to be born. I think she's comfortable and happy in her current location. That being said, we have an appointment in four hours with the doctor to see what's new with her amniotic fluid index. It's crazy to know she could be here any day.

Baby News -- Take One

After an eventful morning, I am headed to the hospital in a couple hours for an induction. I will explain more on that one later. Anyhow, I will try to keep everyone updated with the latest.

I can't believe I could be holding my daughter in less than 24 hours. Wow.

New Pictures

Behold! The belly at 31 weeks. It is definitely growing.

I took this the other night of K with the boys. They are getting so big...it's hard to believe that Max turned three on Thursday and Zeke will be five in February.

It's been a long, long day. I ended up supervising a visit between a mom and her daughter today for 4.5 hours. I really did not want to, but making $135 was incentive enough. After getting done with the visit, I went to Whole Foods and Kroger. I made K her favorite dinner tonight....fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and fried biscuits with apple butter. It's not even close to my favorite meal, but I make it a few times per year as a special treat. For dessert, I made homemade chocolate chip cookies. Yum.

Colette is doing well. We can tell that she is getting much bigger. We can actually feel her little head, shoulders, butt, arms, legs, and other various body parts. She likes to be a turd sometimes and not move a lot. That always results in her getting poked and prodded. If she still doesn't move, we bust out the ice water and I lay on my sides. Once I start alternating from side to side, she usually gets going. I don't think she likes it very well when I flip from one side to the other. Her kicks are getting strong! My whole stomach moves. I like her.

Only one more week until I take a week of vacation time. Then only five weeks left of seeing clients until maternity leave! Yay! My last day is December 19th and I am beyond excited. My job really stresses me out sometimes. I like it but it is very exhausting and demanding.

More Belly Pictures....

I will write a real post later. Above pictures are 26 weeks, 1 day.

24 weeks....

Above are the latest pictures....just taken this afternoon. This is going to be a short post, as I am feelings kinda blah. Tell you what, these damn hormones are going nuts! I have been in a crying mood for most of the day, but I couldn't tell you why.

On the bright side, we had an appoinment with the midwife this past Wednesday. Everything is really good. Colette is still transverse, but it's no big deal at 24 weeks....she has plenty of time to turn. According to my scale at home, I have gained 2lbs. According to the midwife's scale, I have gained 1lb.

We are still trying to think of middle names for Colette. Any suggestions?
