15 more days

Ok I really am getting beyond excited and to be honest getting a little annoyed as well... I have been having contractions for what seems to be forever, but since Wednesday I have had timeable contractions... Wednesday they were anywhere from 5 -7 minutes apart just not really that intense, and Thursday and Friday I was still having them but more like 15 to 20 minutes apart. Saturday Nothing...... Saturday she was very still and did not move around alot at all. Saturday night I went to the bathroom and noticed there was some blood, well (sorry if TMI) I lost part of my mucus plug. So I got So excited.. When I lost it with my first (Kdy) I went into labor 12 hours after so I thought I would be going soon. Well, nothing happened. I did however have a very busy Easter Sunday though. Busy with contractions that is. Again timeable but sporadic, like 15- 20 minutes apart, some even longer. Well let me tell you they wore me out big time so I was in bed by like 7 still contracting.... I woke up at about 10:30 with pretty painful Braxton Hicks and pretty confused. Usually (well with the other 2) once I started having contractions they were about 5 minutes apart and I knew I was in labor, well this one is so different its not even funny.... Well, I will stop complaining and just continue to pray for patience and I know this little girl will come when she (and God) is good and ready and if it is in 15 more days then so-be-it, I will be patient and know that God is in control and I have no say so in the matter......

She Bangs........

To celebrate Easter I got a new hair do so I thought I would post a pic.... Happy Easter to all!

REALLY

I only have 19 days left of this pregnancy (well thats if I go on my due date). I must say that I am a little sad about this..... As hard as this pregnancy was I will miss it. BUT I can not wait to meet this little angel who is inside of me growing. I dream about her all the time, I dream that she is going to have really dark brown eyes and really dark hair and i know she is going to come out with a ton of hair. I can not wait for that baby smell, I really can not wait to wake up in the middle of the night for the feedings and I just can not wait to be "needed" again. Where it is only me who can *come to the rescue*............ With my 2 right now they are so self sufficient and they dont need my help at all, not even to make them breakfast so it was depressing at first but I just thank God that they are not always depending on me for everything because I see them growing and blossoming into just great kids. I see Riley as just like me.. If he wasnts something he goes after it right then and there and doesnt give up until he has it. He also is a fixer and loves to put things together just like his mommy...... He has broken a few of his toys and with out saying a word he will go grab whatever he needs and he will fix his toys. It is great. Kennedy is like me too, but I really only say a little bit. She amazes me every single day. Her heart is growing so big for her brother and she is just in love with Jesus (she tells us everyday) she loves to help me out around the house and to be honest, if it wasnt not for her than my house would always be a mess. She helps me with the laundry, the dishes, and vacuuming. AND she loves it... I just can not wait to meet this little angel and I can not believe I only have 19 more days. WOW.

On a different note. I am still waiting for things to get done and things to arrive though..... I was suppose to have my bassinet by now but it is still on back order so I can NOT go into labor until I get one.. LOL I told Ken I would have them stop contractions..... LOL I did however go to BRU last night with my dad who bought diapers and wipes and bottles, so I feel better now that we have those. Just need the room done and the bassinet and a few things from target and I will be ready...........

Am I nesting?

Ok I really should be doing more relaxing but it is so impossible to right now. I sit and try and relax and I think about something else that needs to be done...
I have had quite a productive weekend, I must say. Yesterday I was able to wake up early and get to the Mom 2 Mom sale before 9 AM. I was pretty disappointed though because it was a little over prices and I really didn't find anything I needed. I was shocked to see people wanting 1.50 -2.50 for just a short sleeve onesie. I was looking for really cute dresses but I guess everyone around here is a fan of gingham... Not that its bad but it is really not my cup of tea....... So, after the sale I had to run to Home Depot to get some paint and cleaning supplies and after that I still did not want to come home.. So I decided to go have some lunch. ALL BY MY SELF... It was great. I then came home to get some cleaning done and then took the kids to the grocery store while Ken patched up the holes in Kennedys walls. That was a fun trip, I mean I had been walking all morning at the sale, then at home depot and now all over the store. So I was not the happiest of person so I figured the only way to cheer up fast would be a chocolate ice cream cone from DQ, and what do ya know, I felt a whole lot better.. So we got home and I was able to finish laundry before the big game last night.

So this morning I woke up in pretty rough shape, so I am thinking I should take it easy.... rest and try and get a little nap in. Well, I couldn't. I started cleaning out drawers and dressers and such and then came down stairs and realized that the shelves in my china cabinet are dirty and the whole things needed to be dusted, so after taking ALL of the china and stem ware out, i took the shelves out and cleaned those and then had to take the glass fronts out because those were dirty as well. I figured since I was dusting the china cabinet I might as well do the rest of the house. So I dusted all of down stairs, all while waddling around. I am sure it was a great site. So I went upstairs to get some rest and decided to re arrange my bedroom AGAIN..... to make room for the bassinet and all of the baby stuff that will be in the room this week. Not like I really had to "make room" I mean our bedroom is huge but it did need to get a bit a a face lift.. So now it is 2 pm and I am exhausted but looking at all of the stuff that has to be finished. So off to get a quick bite to eat (Ken made yummy BBQ beef sandwiches) and back to work... The baby's room is getting painted today so look for pics.

36 weeks pregger

Thought I would do a little comparison! The picture up top is when I was about 38 weeks pregnant with my son Riley. I was pretty huge. Below is me pregnant now at 36 weeks.

OK so please dont mind the hand prints on my mirror first of all, and second I really can not believe I am posting a picture like this for all to see, but here you go. Look how HUGE I have gotten.....
