Three More Weeks... Well, Maybe...

So last year when I hit 36 weeks I was just thinking that I had four more weeks to go until Cash was arriving and then I would be good. No one told me that my water would break (due to a storm) at 36 weeks and 2 days. I ended up having Cash on 36 weeks, 3 days gestation, which put him at four weeks early and preterm. We were so lucky to have him come out extremely healthy and were able to take him home after a long week in the hospital.

Well, today marks my 36 week mark. I'm curious as to see if my body does the same thing Cash did or if Colt will be the stubborn one and wait until November 5 when my c-section is scheduled. I could have him within the next couple of days, but then it could be an extremely LOOOONNNNNGGGGG three weeks! haha I never know what is going to happen and I hate not knowing the outcome of this new little man that is coming into our lives. I know he'll come out when he is ready to come out, but I'm sitting on pins and needles here! haha

Last night about 3 a.m. I woke up with major pain in my pelvis and knew I was having a big contraction. Luckily after a couple of trips to the bathroom (TMI sorry), I was able to start feeling better and finally got into a comfortable position to fall back to sleep.  When Jeff's alarm went off I about cried because I had just barely fallen back to sleep and I knew I had to get up so I could get his breakfast and lunch packed (yes I am that wife but I love him). Cash was still asleep (he slept all night! woo hoo) and I hurried up so I could go back to bed. I have been taking it super easy all day because you never know what's going to happen. I just hope that something does happen, but not until it's time. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday so we'll see what he says.

So now we really begin the countdown. Do I have him within the next couple of days or on November 5? Guess we'll just have to wait and find out! :)

And the Countdown Begins!

Well, went to the doctor today for another appointment. I'm currently at 34 weeks and 5 days, so it's getting close. I talked to my doctor about the pains I have been having in my lower pelvis and I guess my "symphasis" has shifted so that's the reason for my pains. I'm still scheduled to have the baby on November 5 via c-section, but I'm hoping that within the next couple of weeks I will have our little Colt here. I just want to meet the little guy who kicks me constantly and loves to play with his brother, even though he doesn't even know Cash is his brother. My blood pressure is starting to rise a little bit, but this was about the time that it started doing it last year with Cash, so it will be interesting to see if it stays normal or keeps rising. I'm hoping that around week 37-38 I'll be able to have the baby, but you never know what's going to happen. My water broke last year due to a pressure change in the weather so I have to take it really easy because there is a low pressure moving through Utah right now.

I feel like I have been pregnant forever!!! I can't wait to just be normal again and to stop hurting and actually be able to move normally. I want Colt to make his appearance when he is supposed to, but I'm so ready for him to come now! haha

I'll keep you guys posted on what is going on. I go back to the doctor in two weeks, then I start my one week appointments. I joked with the doctor that I didn't make it to my next appointment that I had last year at the same time! haha He just said, "well lets get you to 36 weeks at least!" haha

Keep Smiling!

11 Months Old!

Well Cash is almost a year old! Today marks his 11 month birthday and we can't be more proud of this little man. Yesterday we took him to Wheeler Farm (1st time for all of us) and we had a great time! We just want to say Happy 11 months to our little bug! We are so proud of you and all that you are accomplishing. We know you're going to be the best big brother and help Colt out with learning everything you have learned! 

Don't grow up too fast umkay!!!

Random...

Well not much has been going on, but I am counting down the days until I have Colt haha... I went to my appointment yesterday and things are looking really good - minus the fact that my iron is low and my blood pressure is starting to go up like it did with Cash, but things are looking good. My c-section is scheduled for November 5 unless I go earlier than that and it looks like Colt weighs about five pounds already. Note: This is how much Cash weighed when we brought him home from the hospital! haha

Anyways, Jeff and I got to spend our first weekend alone since Cash was born and let me tell you it was nice to just have him to myself. I was able to get some sleep and just enjoy some quiet time before the baby comes. Thank you to my parents for taking their grandson for the weekend - he had a blast!!

Well, not much else is happening, we lead a pretty boring life right now! haha Cash did get another tooth, so he has eight now! He is also battling a cold right now, but it's on the way out so I'm happy!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Oh, did I mention I turned 32 on the 13th - weird!!! haha

31 week picture

So I have decided to post a picture of my belly at 31 weeks. I'm bigger than I was with Cash at this point last year. My belly button might even pop with this one but I'm hoping it won't. I haven't been feeling too good, but I'm hanging in there - just really tired! I'm so ready for Colt to be here, but I know he still has 8 more weeks til he can come out...

Lazy Sunday Day...

So yesterday we decided to pack the bug up in the car and head up to the park where we got married. It was a beautiful day and we threw the football around a little bit until Cash decided he wanted to play! haha He kept tackling the ball which was really cute! We then decided to take a drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon, not knowing Oktoberfest was going on and only made it a little ways up before turning around because there were entirely too many people!!! But it was a nice day and it was nice to get out of the house and go play in the sun!!

9 more weeks!!

Sorry, I'm just excited, but we only have 9 more weeks! WOO HOO!
