Proud Mama

So I know its been awhile since I posted. There were some exciting things that kept me from doing so... not really. There was hurricane Irene that caused power outages for a few days for us- longer for many of my friends. Then there was the subsequent cleanup from all of that as a pipe burst when the power came back on (so fun to come home to water pouring from the ceiling haha). Then we found out the crib wasnt coming on time- still waiting on when it might come- I know I know no big deal, baby will be in a bassinet blah blah blah but I want the cute little nursery all done. So sue me I am pregnant and hormonal and irrational.

Then our puppy Marley got sick- went to ER, $400 bucks later- just probably ate something he shouldnt have. It took him a few days to get back to normal but now he is running around like a crazy nutcase just like before so I figure he is feeling better.

In the meantime, I have hit 37 weeks (baby is 6 lbs and 6 oz and I had my last growth scan which means its the last time I will see the baby before I really see the baby) which means I am considered full term! So theoretically the baby can come any day now. ANY DAY NOW. I figure with all the stress in the last few weeks and the baby still being snug as a bug inside me, its probably planning on staying there until halloween. (pleasedontpleasedont).

Other Exciting Pregnancy Milestones:
1. Felt hiccups for the first time- baby was head down so THAT was a totally new experience- use your imagination people, I am not spelling this one out for you.
2. Dan may be nesting more than I am- he has mopped and cleaned and been a crazy guy trying to finish all the projects in the house and I have felt less than energetic.
3. Placenta is well out of the way (has been since 7/8) YAY! so no risk of previa
4. We have made it this far without finding out the sex! My OB wants to go into cahoots with my husband which I feel is unfair because she should be on my side but they are just going to have to wait!

I have started to wash and put away all the little baby stuff and decided to try out my parenting skills on Marley by teaching him how to ring bells attached to the door when he wants to go out. He learned in 2 days!!! I am a parenting genius! (at least thats what I feel like even though I know its all him). I am so proud of my pup.

Happy Full Term Baby!
