It's been a pretty lazy week for me. Just anxiously hoping that Baby boy would make his arrival...I mean, I was at a 3 people! When I was at a 4 & 80% effaced with Grayson, I had him within 48 hours...so now I know why people who have the first one early tell you not to get your hopes up for every baby because they are all different! And, it's not like he's late by any means! I'll be 38 weeks on Friday and I have an appointment tomorrow, so we'll see what the Doc says then. Maybe I'll be dilated a little more. I think I have pretty much opted out of having my membranes stripped after reading about it online and hearing a few other stories. If I was 40 weeks and nothing was happening, I'd consider it, but for now I'll just wait. (:I feel ready & not ready at the same time. Each day this week I've done something else in the house and then gone with Gray to my mom's and hung out there. Today's job was to deep clean the fridge/freezer & make sure the pantry was somewhat organized (a weekly job it seems). The bags & car are packed and we're just chillin. Thankful to have my mom close and that she doesn't mind having us as company often during the day.
I found this template from a scrapper I like, Cathy Zielske, and she is inspiring me to start my weight loss journey after baby boy gets here. I will document it with this template monthly like she did and then insert it into my blog when I print it. Good motivation for my ten year class reunion next summer!
Thanks to Julie's birthday gift card to blurb, I was able to order our 2009 book and it came in the mail today. I love it!
When they come I am just giddy and want to sit and read through the whole thing. I'm showcasing 08 & 09 on our fireplace now and I love love love them!

Ha! This is such a weird position for me. I'm not pregnant yet I too am waiting for a baby. Our mama is dilated to a 3 as of today but her doctor didn't say how effaced she was. I feel EXTREMELY antsy and want to call her constantly asking if anything is going on. Like you I feel weird. In some ways I feel relaxed like everything is prepared but when I sit down I KNOW I should be doing something. I really don't think I can stand to clean, do laundry, shop, or organize any more. The problem is I have energy so I can get it done in no time flat. UGH! Remind me I said this but I will be grateful to be busy with 2 babies.
I'm so glad you got your Blurb book. What an awesome friend to give you that gift certificate. I have been taking your advice and downloading my entries each week. it makes it much easier and I know I will love the finished product. If I had $$ I would go back and redo my years 08 & 09 into Blurb. I think it would be worth it. Then I might delete them off of my blog because I'm running out of space.
Alright I've blabbed enough....see nervous energy. Love you much. Just think at least in 2 weeks we'll both be holding babes, chasing toddlers, and sleep deprived like no one can relate too.
I put your name in the temple today. I know everything will work out. Love you!
I keep waiting to hear differently.... :) Good job hanging in there! Miss you!
It seems these last weeks take FOREVER huh?!?! Everyone calls daily....."anything?" Nope! Each baby IS different. Some stories I can't believe! My friend that is a Labor Mentor, her sister was a 4 and fully effaced at her check-up at 38 weeks......you'd think she'd had it that day right?!?! She went OVER due!!!! Nuts!!! Others, have not been dilated at a check-up, had it that night! You really just never know-the truth to the matter is - your body & the baby know what to do, it's just trusting both of them in their timetable. Honestly, my experience with membranes getting stripped, was NOT bad!! There are horror stories, but mine 3 times, was fine. I didn't have it done with Brielle until 39 weeks, mostly because of schooling schedule....I didn't want to encourage her here when I had so much going on!! As a mother, we know what's best for us & when, so just trust your decisions and your body and you'll do amazing! Can't wait to hear your story....and see your new little one!!
I expected to go a week early with Raegan, because I did with Preston, and then I went 5 days OVER!!! I hope that doesnt happen to you! Your delivery should go supper fast if you are already that far dialated! Cant wait to see the new guy!
The waiting game is so frustrating! I was a 4 and 80 percent effaced for about three weeks with Tayah. I had my membranes stripped...nothing! I finally went to the hospital, the doc broke my water, and I still had to have pit to get the little princess here. Hang in there, Karli. Worst case scenerio you are only a couple of weeks away! I'm so excited for you!
