The wait continues...

Well, unless I go into labor right now :) it looks like all those October 18th guesses have no promise either:( Sooooo....we'll see what tomorrow brings.....nobody guessed the 19th ;) maybe that'll be the day!!!

Either way, we'll have this baby by next Thurs. Oct 23....that's my induction date if she doesn't come sooner ;) So this time next week our lives will have changed forever and we will be parents!! It's more reassuring to think of it like that....I have to remind myself that I WON'T be pregnant forever ;) hehe

Due date has come & gone... :o(

Still pregnant... boooooooooooo! Just wanted you all to know ;) We get so many phone calls and emails asking the big question and I know everyone's curious if it happened yesterday :) Nope!

Oh by the way, Eric is SOOO not blog-savvy but I will do my best to teach him so he can be the official updater while I'm a little preoccupied :) We'll definitely take our laptop to the hospital...someone will be able to do some updating!!

OH Karina, have I ever been trying to sleep!! Even that's not going so well anymore... I lied awake from 2:30-4:15ish last night after my nightly trip to the bathroom:( This is getting old..... ;o/

We're going mattress shopping today (gotta get that spare bedroom squared away!) .... and maybe to the Circleville Pumpkin Show. I'm over trying to relax and take it easy... this is getting just plain boring!! I need to get this labor moving!!! I am off work now ... with no baby to occupy my time ... I NEED to go in labor. OKay, enough with my rantings.... hope you all have a wonderful day!!

No baby yet ...

Still patiently awaiting our little ones arrival.... where's the jeopardy theme song :) Hope that full moon last night created some good gravitational pull that will help move things along! hehe :)

Thanks for all the guesses by the way :) This has been a fun & cute way to make the waiting game a little more bearable....Eric & I's guesses (as well as a few others':) have now come & gone...will I be pregnant forever? :)

Taking Bets :o)

So, just for fun..... let us know your guesses on when Baby Ava will grace us with her glorious presence!! Throw in your best weight & length bets too!!

Here's a start...

My Guess: October 15th.... 6 lbs 10 oz, 20 1/2 inches
Eric's Guess: October 14th... 7lbs 3 oz, 22 inches

Still Hangin' On :o)

6 days to go and I'm still going strong:) I know a lot of you have been wondering what has been going on these last two weeks & I'll tell you they've just flown by! I can't believe it's been two weeks since I last updated :( ... sorry!


So anyways... I have made a little progress lately, or should I say Ava has made a little progress :)!! At my OB appt this week she said I am about 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced... so that's good news!! At least I'm getting somewhere....slowly but surely:) I'm getting to the point where I just want to be done being pregnant. One of my doctors this week told me that they'd let me go a week past my due date before they induce me....which I think is just plain RUDE:) But hopefully we don't get to that point!! At this point I really do feel like I'll be pregnant forever... as irrational as it sounds ;) It's funny how these last couple weeks have felt like a LIFETIME waiting for our little bundle of joy to get here. But we're down to the final days so I'm trying to take advantage of my free time. Work, however, is really becoming a DRAG! I keep talking to Ava & telling her she needs to come out before my next string of days in a row at work...which is this weekend...but I don't think she'll listen:) My last day of work is next Thursday the 16th (my due date:) ) so I'll be sure to pack our bags in my car in the morning and be ready to just take the elevator down a couple floors and check myself in when the time comes :) Guess I couldn't be working up to my due date at a better place! I like to remind myself that I have 4 more days of work and then I'm off until next year!! Wooohooo!! I love that I'll be off over the holidays with our new baby and will have lots of opportunities to hang out with our families over the most family oriented time of the year!! Now that's a blessing :) I couldn't have timed that better if I had planned it !

Well I suppose I better stick one last belly picture on here.... this was taken last week.



** You're probably thinking that my belly doesn't look so big...but trust me, I have to literally roll myself out of bed in the morning and catapult myself out of any sitting position....it's big enough ;) **
