Slow and Steady Wins the Race

So I have been slacking lately, but for good reason. I've been terribly exhausted and I'm trying to close thing up at work. Good news though BBA is coming around quite nicely. At my Dr appt. this week I was 3cm dilated and 60% effaced. Now I know I could stay that way for a while, but it is also a progression from the last time I was measured! All we do now is wait :)

Mom and Dad's visit to AZ

Well the parentals were back again, this time to help get ready for BBA. We had quite the busy weekend while they were here:

Thursday: Pedi's with mom, Dr. Appointment--They checked for dilation and effacement, I was 2 cm dilated, and my cervix was thinning. The head was still up pretty high. Let's hope for some progress this week! Shopping for golf clubs (dad bought a set in a box, he was so ashamed of himself, couldn't believed he stooped that "low" haha), went to Omaha Steaks and got our freezer all stocked up! Thanks for the discount Dad! Took mom and dad on their first visit to BevMo, probably the greatest place on earth, they now want to open one in NE. Made dinner at home.

Friday: Bummed around all morning, took mom and dad to In & Out Burger, went to the beer supply store, went to Trader Joe's so mom could get this seasoning that she likes, Bruce and Dad brewed beer, Mom and I went to Babies R Us and Walmart, went to Raul y Theresa's for dinner.

Saturday: Bruce and Dad golfed, Mom & I had my AZ baby shower, went to the Coyotes hockey game.

Sunday: Mom and dad got all packed up, we all went to the Cardinals game, left the Cardinals game early to make it to the airport so mom and dad could make their flight!

Whew! I am exhausted. And like Bruce says, he needs a vacation from the vacation.

The baby shower was great, thanks to Jamie, Karin, and Angela who helped get everything organized. We are definitely stocked up on everything now, just a couple more things to purchase and we'll be set! I can't believe he'll actually be here in such a short time!

Ding! He's done

So I've officially grown overnight. Bruce and I were looking at my stomach last night and then we looked at it again today to find a HUGE difference! My bellybutton has officially "popped." Does this mean BBA is on his way to making an appearance? Bruce sure thinks so. He thinks that it is crazy that my bellybutton would actually pop out (I told him it would). Silly boy. Unfortunatly I will NOT be posting any pictures of my bellybutton due to my sweet stretch marks that have appeared near my belly button area. My baby shower is next week so as long as BBA stays put until then I'll be a happy camper!

Locked, Loaded, and ready for BBA

The car seat is officially installed and I'm a crazy lady driving around with an empty car seat! Haha. We figured we would rather be prepared for BBA a month early (just in case!) Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Welcome November and Stretch Marks

Happy November to everyone! I woke up this morning, feeling great, I even made a breakfast casserole for Bruce and I! After breakfast I did my normal Sunday routine, read the paper and then go shower. Bruce wanted to leave the house by 11 for some errands so I had to make this shower snappy. So I head to the bathroom and get ready to hop in the shower. I always check out my belly in the mirror (partially because it's cool looking and partially because I really can't see the whole thing without looking in the mirror. ). So today I got a nice surprise with some stretch marks around my belly button! UGH!!!! Seriously? I've made it this far why do they have to come now? And I love that they magically appeared overnight because I definitely would have noticed them when I changed into my PJs last night. Well on the bright side, I guess this means BBA is growing or on the downside I'm eating too much. Haha. I'm pretty sure its the first. Welcome to motherhood.
