Is he coming today?

Well I'm going to the doctor's in a few hours. I'm hoping that this will be the end and she will induce me. This little one either is having issues coming out or there is something else wrong because nothing, and I mean nothing has worked at inducing him. Aaron said I'm more like the mythbusting pregnancy inducing person. I've tried everything and nothing worked. So here I am 3 days passed my due date and contractions all the time but nothing consistant and nothing painful enough to get this labour started.

Monday night has been the worst night thus far. With contractions every 20 minutes and every time I fell asleep I would have a contraction with in 20 minutes. Poor Aaron didn't sleep a wink and I was exhausted as well. Only I didn't have to work. Last night we split up after laying in bed for 10 minutes and I got my first contraction. I was like thats it up stairs I go and propped myself up on the pillows and was actually able to sleep in some good long periods.

So at this point I'm just counting down the minutes until my doctor's appointment at which time I will beg her to take this baby out.

I have to say though I have been so nervous for the baby. The best investment we made for the baby this far has been the fetal heart monitor ($30) at Babies R Us. Because any time I get worried because he hasn't moved or I'm just paranoid I can listen to make sure his heart rate is still good. It's definately kept my sane this entire time. Especially when your constantly thinking the worst.

Anyways hopefully today is the day and we'll have news of Caden's aarive shortly! Woo HOO!!

Still waiting

I didn't realize that there is nothing you can do to get a baby out. We've tried everything and I've even walked for 2 days and nothing so far. I can't wait to meet him and I don't even want to think about me going late. Today after walking so much I'm resting. I can't imagine lasting very much longer. I feel huge, can't sleep and am in pain most of the time. I know its complaining and I normally am not like that but I can't stand the pain any more.

I don't have anything planned for today except maybe starting his scrapbook. Although I really don't have the pictures to do anything with. I have made lists of all the pictures we need to get in the first few days. I want so many I'm sure its crazy but they are only that small for a short period of time.

Aaron is working and keeps wanting me to update him but its sad when you have nothing to text about.

I never thought I would make it this far so its frustrating to me to be in this place. It's the 13th and there is really no end in sight. At this point I'm just really hoping I don't go over due. Please no!!!

Baby on the way

I wanted to make a blog so that all of our family and friends will be able to see pictures of our little boy growing up and it's easier then sending out mass emails.

I'm technically due on May 17th only 6 days to go technically. I've been having contractions since Thursday and everyday I think I'm in labour because they get worse and they get closer together and then they stop. It's driving me nuts right now. Yesterday I was in lots of pain all day but nothing. I'm going to the doctor's today at 10 am. Hopefully she will tell me some good news.

This little one is trying to spite us all by coming on his own sweet time. I was hoping for May 1 or 2 and then I said the latest the 7th. My Mom and Dad said with the full moon on Saturday and my brother wanted either Friday or Monday to make it a long weekend. But nothing so far. I really wanted to be a mother for Mothers Day. I though how nice would that be. But nope. Not happening. Although, my little one did get a message through to Aaron to give to me and some beautiful flowers. It's amazing how young they learn to text... Kidding.

I think we've tried everything now to get him out and nothing is working. I know it just means he will come on his own sweet time. But I'm impatient, as anyone will tell you. This will be my third week off of work. We can't afford not to ave the baby soon. Maternity leave only kicks in once he is born. So far since I've been off I've gotten lots done. Baking, cleaning, thank you cards, the baby's room is all complete. I did sit on the couch for 1 day and did nothing. I almost watched an entire season of the Office, played Rock Band. All the things that once he gets here I will be like "What did we do before baby?!" It's true through. Everyone says it and once he is here I will yearn for that down time. But I can't wait for him to get here to enjoy him and to take care of him. There will be no time in the beginning I know but slowly I will gain the knowledge of multitasking in the home. I've already got that mastered with work.

Anyways, the plan today is to hurry up and wait for this little one to come :)
