38 Weeks!

Yesterday was Jason's birthday, the baby did not choose to make her appearance like he has been wishing for. I do not feel that it will be very much longer as I have started having "real" contractions. I had a dr appointment on Tuesday and had dilated to 2 cm. I am getting another ultrasound this Tuesday "just to confirm that she is a big baby." The doctor said it would not change anything such as the due date nor is there anything wrong. Usually my doctors office only gives 2 ultrasounds unless there is something not quite right. She assured me that me and the baby were both fine though. My swelling is OUT OF CONTROL!!! If it were not happening to me it would be hillarious. I still laugh when I look at my feet. My stomach is also out of control, you do not really need an ultrasound to see that Annabelle is going to be a big baby lol. I will probably be disappointed if when I see the doctor Tuesday I am not dilated to 3 cm or more. I am pretty sure I will be though because I have had quite a few contractions but they are not consistant. I will be happy to see her one more time before she is born though, we might be able to tell if she has hair (well that is if I make it until Tuesday). We are going to have to get a new battery for Jason's watch so that we can have a watch with a second hand. We did brave the mall this morning and forgot to take his watch with us. My sister and Josh spent the night last night and they got up early to shop while me and Jason waited until 6. We bought a lot of stuff for Jason lol, two storage cabinets and a big rolling toolbox. Not a big deal since it was stuff we needed, we got it at a good price and why not if we don't have to put it on credit cards. We saved over 100.00 on the cabinets alone. Everything we get now will just make it better for when the baby is here - the basement will be a lot straighter and we are planning on putting a toy room down there for when she is older.

We had our final baby class this week and it was a lot of fun. We learned how to change diapera, swaddle the babies, give them bathes, etc. We also learned about things we are not to do which we had no idea about such as putting the q-tips made for babies into her ears. That apparently is not a good thing to do.

I am not sure how I will handle two babies - Jason is currently sleeping on the couch in his feetie pajamas with a cat on his chest lol. Well now she is under the covers with him. Pootie loves to sleep under the covers as long as the covers are not directly on her and Scottie likes to sleep with the covers touching her. We have such strange animals lol.
