updates

Still no baby but my phone is fixed.

Please don't suggest spicy food, walking, sex, pineapple, jump-roping, blue or black cohosh, pressure points, or any other myth that is supposed to induce labor.

They don't work, especially with my child who is bound and determined to enter this world on his own terms. I love his determination, just not his feet up in my ribs.

Merry Christmas, I will be taking my computer to hospital whenever this baby finally comes out so I will keep you posted with pictures and details.

Peace...Teresa

phone issues

no, I haven't had the baby. and to boot, my phone is jacked. They are mailing me a new one Tuesday. So, until then it is a crapshoot. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. So, if you text or call and I don't answer... don't get tooo excited, this kid is being stubborn! lol! I will keep updated on myspace and you can IM me....sweetsuprstar.

down to days.

I am down to only 16 days left until I am due. I am praying to the good Lord above that he takes mercy on my very large, stretched out stomach and brings this little man into the world early!

A little scare recently I wanna share. I went to the doctor at 35 weeks and they had me go to the hospital for a sonogram to check the size of the baby because he is measuring large, When I went she measured the baby at 6lbs 13oz already! yikes! My big boy! That was fine, but his stomach was measuring much larger than it should have been and I had higher than normal levels of amniotic fluid, so they thought I might have gotten gestational diabetes late in the pregnancy.

I went to the lab and did my 3 hour diabetes testing after 12 hours of fasting(yeah, don't try that on a pregnant woman!) and tested completely clear. So basically, I have a big baby with a lot of fluid.

This past week (my 37 week appt) I was measuring at 40 weeks. They checked me and I am 1 cm dilated and they stripped my membranes(ouch) to get things started since I'm officially full term. I have had inconsistent and too short of contractions since, but I am hoping at least they are dilating me! I go back to the doctor this Wednesday and I start my maternity leave after this Friday! I am walking, eating spicy food and pineapple(both things I read help out) taking lots of stairs and everything I am reading that will coax this sucker out!

So pray this man makes his grand entrance soon and maybe not too extremely large!
