This weekend was fun…Ev’s parents came up with lots of gifts (not that they need gifts to be fun) They brought with them a slide and play cube for Bub from Auntie April & Uncle Bret -now our back yard is as good as the play ground! So Bub can stop throwing sand at the dogs for fun. Then they also brought up a twin bed from Grandma Veda, which will be Bub’s big boy bed 🙂 It’s so nice…quilted pillow top matress barely used. We lucked out because he can use this until he moves out on his own! Then Bret & April passed along the family china cabinet-which looks wonderful in our hallway. And Then…Ev’s parents, Grandma, and Aunt & Uncle went in on a beautiful bassinet for Aidan. It’s covered in white eyelet, perfect and light for warm summer months. Grandma Veda also- in a matter of minutes- knitted a perfect yellow blanket to add a little color to the bassinet. She went crazy…there was a garage sale in her very nice neighborhood where she was able to pick up some clothes and a bouncy seat for us. Everything new or barely used, all really nice stuff. So now Aidan has 2 bouncy seats and clothes all his own. We also celebrated my birthday(a little late…but better late then never) We went to Flames (the best breakfast place here) and Cindy mentioned we were celebrating my birthday and I got free chocolate cake…and not just any chocolate cake -but Flames chocolate cake- which is not only gigantic but sinfully good! All and all a great weekend…definitely got my mind off the waiting. Oh one more cool thing, the ladies at church are going to throw me a baby shower after Aidan is born. I didn’t think I was going to get to have one and I will have an opportunity to get to know these ladies better-so I’m really looking forward to it 🙂 We also got some exciting news-that I can’t share just yet-but soon. Life could only get better if Aidan decided to grace us with his presence…and who knows tomorrow is a full moon…

Well just a little progress this time… 75% effaced but dilation is the same 🙁 I’d like to say “wow that’s great-progress is progress no matter how small” But really I’m feeling depressed and let down. I know I still have 2 weeks left, but I’m very ready to just do it already. Evan is changing jobs and our insurance will also be changing-which is going to be fine-but I still feel worried about it, and would really like to have Aidan before it runs out. Hormones are so much fun! I feel like sitting somewhere alone for a while. I just want to turn the world off for a little while.
Well still pregnant…I have another doctor’s apt today. Maybe there will be more progress. I haven’t felt very inspired lately-sorry for the lack of posting. I also haven’t been feeling all that great either, think I may be coming down with the flu. joy joy! I will update more tonight, cross your fingers for me!
Another weekend gone… we got a lot done though! Everything is pretty much ready for Aidan’s arrival. I’ve been feeling so weird the last couple of days, nervous and agitated-just really off. Then there’s the “I’m going to puke any second” feeling that seems to come when ever I eat. Today we went to Dairy Queen for lunch and the only thing I wanted was a reeses blizzard. There has never been a time when I couldn’t finish a blizzard-except for today 🙁 I got through less then half and couldn’t get far enough away from it. I’m so hoping that this is my body getting ready. I try not to think about it too much… but it’s hard waiting.
So I had a false alarm yesterday…thought my water had broken. Turns out there are actually two bags of water, one contains the baby and the other smaller one is just outside and contains a couple of tablespoons of liquid. That’s why they say breaking of the “waters” or stripping the “membranes” and not just water or membrane. It was a very educationally visit. We also found out that I’m 50% effaced and dialted 1&1/2 centimeters. And I still have 2 full weeks left…which for me is great-with Bub I had no progress and was 14 days late. So the fact that things are already in progress is very promising. We got to meet the other doctor in my office-who if on call could deliver Aidan-and he is just as nice as my doctor. They both make me feel very comfortable. I feel really good about delivery this time…like it’s going to be easier then last time and that my doctors will take very good care of me. So hopfully I can keep this positive outlook and everything will be easy! Mind over matter…right?!?!
