Today's the day!

Wow, its been 9 months already. TODAY is the due date!! I'm in disbelief to be honest. Mostly because 9 months ago, I wasn't aware of this.. wasn't prepared. I never imagined how much I could love this little girl. I never thought I would be a mother this soon and I really never expected this in my wildest dreams. I guess thats whats great about life. Chloe is the greatest gift, my reason for being here. I can't wait to see her, I hope she comes soon!

I'm really getting anxious and antsy. If I don't have her by Tuesday I have an apointment with my OB. I'm not sure whats going to happen at that point so I'll guess I'll wait to see if it comes down to that. I've been feeling pretty good. For the most part I have a decent amount of energy... that is, until I actually do something. Yesterday I vaccumed two rooms and did the dishes, I was pooped the rest of the day. Today I just took it easy and didn't really do anything :). I have spurts of energy and then spurts of tired, exhaustedness. I have been feeling pains as shes moving down further and shes still moving LOTS.

I'm so excited. COME NOW CHLOE!!!!!!! :D
I love you so much baby girl, can't wait to have you with me.

I really wonder what day she plans on coming :)

Friday.

Friday is the due date.

I'm really excited, anxious, and to be honest.. a little nervous. I'm not nervous about labor or pain, but about bringing her home. I know I can take care of her, but I also know I'll be calling my mom about a few things too lol. I guess I'm just nervous because shes my first child and although I have babysat and been around babys, nothing prepares you for being a parent. I have everything I need and I know I'm going to be a great mom. I can't wait to meet her. Everyone is so excited, but I don't think anyone is as excited as me. I don't really show it much sometimes but I really can't wait. My friend Amber just had her baby on friday. Hes gorgeous and looking at pictures made me want to cry because of how soon I get to meet her! Everyone wants her out right now, but I don't mind spending a few more days just me and her. I enjoy feeling her kick and roll, although the pains are starting to get at me lately. She will come when shes ready and I'm as ready as I can be, waiting. I hope shes healthy and happy.

I love my baby girl so much.

What All Children Want Their Parents To Know

Teach me to love and care for myself,
Through your positive example.
I will learn much more from what you do than from anything you could ever say.
Notice me often and take joke in my existence,
So that I grow up to feel special and know that I'm loved.
Listen to me with an open ear and loving heart,
So that I learn to understand my feelings and trust that my needs will be heard.
Play with me often,
Let your guard down and be more carefree.
The memories will last long,
And our connection even longer.
Focus on what I'm doing right,
And tell me when you apprichiate me,
So that I learn to feel worthy and motivated to do even more.
Tell me more about your life, your hopes, your successes,
So that I learn to know you as a person and can call you my friend as well as my parent.

39 weeks :)

Well Chloe should be done growing now! Doc said that she grew a little from last week and her heart beat and everything is all good! My appointment went well, he didn't check how dialated I am or anything. I don't have an appointment next week because my doctor will be out of town for the week :(. Hes hoping I'll have her next week so I don't have to be induced or anything... and although I want her to come so bad, I can wait for him to get back haha. We made an appointment for March 3rd when hes back and he said we'll talk about setting up a date to be induced and all that! I've been having pelvic pains and I've been pretty exhausted

Everythings ready to go. Just waiting!

Love you Chloe baby.

14 days

Love you baby girl.

So soon!

I can't believe theres only 15 days left until my due date. Soon I'll be holding my little girl :)

38 weeks

Sorry again for not updating as much! I'm not about 38 weeks! My original due date is the 27th but I've been given the timeframe pretty much from the 26th to march 3rd. Either way, Chloe will be here soon. Chloe is fully grown by now, maybe gaining a little bit more weight as she stores some fat for birth :). Her organs are developed, however the lungs take a little longer.

I'm really excited to see her but the last few days I have been really exhausted. I've had some pains in my side a few times, but all is well. The doctor said its either her foot or her pressing against my kidney. He also said she must have hit a growth spurt and hasn't grown much in the last 2 weeks... so if she hasn't grown by the next appointment (which is tomorrow), he's going to book another ultrasound to make sure everything is okay. The pelvic exam was okay, her head is moving down and shes getting into position. Chloe is still moving a lot, especially for Josh haha.

I have another appointment tomorrow where I find out the results of the swab and another pelvic. I'll also be posting some pictures up of her room soon because its mostly unpacked and put away now :).

Love you baby girl.

Today I had the hospital tour, it went pretty well. I think I spent more time answering the same questions I have to keep answering. I'm pretty sure the nurse was asking me the same questions I was asked five minutes prior to meeting her, and she had the sheet with everything on it right in front of her... I know its their job, but really how many times do I have to say I don't have a disease and never have? haha. Other than that the maternity ward was pretty nice, however I was hoping to run into a baby and I never seen any :(. The jaccuzzi is what I was most excited to see, and I was disapointed. I can't wait to sit back in that! I also learned that only my parents, the father and his parents are aloud in the waiting room. No friends, sorry everyone :(.

I also had a really bad pain in my side today. It lasted for about 3-4 hours and progressivly got worse. I took a bath to see if it would feel better, but no luck. My mom said it was probably just the way she was sitting, so I layed down with a hot water bottle and felt better.. still have a slight pain now but nothing to worry about. Chloe was still moving lots so all is well with her :).

I have a appointment with the OB tomorrow. I'm getting the swab and all that good stuff! Now its a meeting once a week until shes born. I need to remember to ask about epiderals and all medications I could possibly take. I don't want Chloe to be too drowsy so I don't want to take too much or something that could make her overly drowsy! Must remember! AH!

Love you Chloe baby <3 xo
