It may be a while....

Well,
     So much for baby just falling out! I went to the doctor today, and since I've only had like 1 or 2 contractions since my last appointment, he decided to not even check me, since there's a pretty good chance that nothing has changed. He started talking about when they will induce, at 41 weeks. So we could be looking at a 4th of July baby! He did say that baby has dropped a little bit, so I'm slowly getting there, but he's not thinking that too much is going to change this week either. Of course, he could be wrong! haha. I guess we'll see what happens! The doctor guessed that baby is around 7 pounds right now, but the longer he's in there, the bigger he becomes!
     I'm actually okay with baby waiting till the due date, because we just got a 7 week old puppy, and I want to get him settled before we bring baby home. Last night, he only whined when he heard me get up to pee, so we're hoping that he's getting used to his crate, and his new home. He's super cute, and he LOVES Dash! Dash is so good with him too, unless he's coming off a sedation, and the puppy won't leave him alone. That ends with the puppy whimpering, and hiding under our bed!

     Anyways, I just thought I would write a quick update for those of you who are actually following along!

What did you say?!

     Over the past year or so there have been a few things said to me that I have really had to stop and think "Did you really just say that to me?" So I thought I would write a list, just so I can find the humor....

     Before I ever got pregnant

• "When are you guys going to have a baby?" - Don't say this to a woman, you don't know what they are going through. They could be trying, and not having any luck.
• "You guys have been married for (insert time frame here) and you still haven't had a baby?!" - See above.

Once we announced I was pregnant 

• "You're FINALLY pregnant?" -Seriously people
• "You're starting to show already." -Nope, I'm just fat! Thanks though!
• "You look tiny." -I feel like a cow (I know, there is no pleasing a pregnant lady)

Throughout the rest of the pregnancy

• "You look like you were ready to pop 2 months ago." -Ummm....Thanks?! 
• "You look totally miserable, of course that could just be the way you look, and you could feel great." -Yes, this was really said to me.
• "I'll get you a parachute at the Army Surplus store  to wear." (Thanks dad) He was TOTALLY kidding.
• "I don't know how you're still walking." 
• "You don't walk anymore. you waddle." -NO lady wants to hear that they are waddling. We already know we look ridiculous....HA!
• "You're gonna do (Thing) with your son? Really?" -YES! He's our son, and we'll do what we want to with him.
• "How are you feeling?" -I know this is just a question, and you probably are really concerned, but when we get to the very end of the pregnancy, you feel like CRAP! You hurt all over, you're tired beyond tired, your feet hurt, if you're like me, your swollen, EVERYWHERE, and you just want to cry. This is a very loaded question. So if you're going to ask it, prepare yourself. 
• "You'll wish you were still pregnant once that baby is here." -What are you trying to say? That I'm gonna wish my son wasn't born? I have put in the time, I think it's time that I get to hold my baby boy. Will I miss feeling him move, yes, however, I'm gonna have a baby. A baby that we WANTED. 
• "A REAL mother wouldn't put their child into daycare." -Ummm.....I have nothing to say to that one.
• "Things are going to be so hard when that baby comes." -Why can't people tell me how WONDERFUL things will be, how I'm gonna love being a mother, and how there's nothing like it in the world when your baby looks up at you and smiles for the first time?! THOSE are the things we want to hear. 
• "You'll think of divorce more in the first 3 months of your baby's life than you have the whole time you've been married." -I'm sorry your relationship is rocky, my husband and I will be just fine! 

I'm sure there are a few other ones that I've missed, but these are the ones that have really stuck out to me! When people say these things to you, all you can do is laugh. I mean, seriously, just laugh about it, because if you don't, it'll make it worse! 

Today was the day...

Today was the day they cut my stitch. When my doctor pulled it out, he showed it to me, and I was SHOCKED at how small it was. This tiny little piece of thread was holding our son in. CRAZY! I didnt go into labor right away, but he did say that I'm dilated to a 2 already. We could have a baby within a week, or I could go to my due date. I guess we'll see what happens. I have been pretty emotional today. Part of me wants this baby here, now. The part that has been MISERABLE for the last couple weeks. Between my super swollen kankles, my tired feet, not sleeping (yes, i know, when he gets here, the sleep won't get any better) and how much my whole body hurts, I'm ready for him to be here. The other part of me wants him to stay in there for as long as he can, so we can make sure he's good and healthy.
Anyways, I'll update the blog when we know more!
