41 weeks tomorrow!

This is new for us!! Tomorrow I'll be 41 weeks. I'm starting to doubt my due date. LOL! I had Blake at 40 weeks, 6 days. But then I realized today that I had two due dates with Blake, one was April 27 and then the one the Dr.'s went with was April 29. So maybe I was actually 8 days post due date with Blake?!

Who knows, all I know is this baby is not ready to greet the world yet :) This afternoon Cal and I went to the hospital. I wasn't feeling much movement and when I was in for a NST on Thursday it took awhile to get the baby moving and the nurse suggested doing a kick count daily and to come in if the baby wasn't moving a certain amount - which it wasn't today. But turns out everything was fine, phew! If need be I will have to go in for another NST on Monday and the induction is still booked for Tuesday. SO we will be meeting this baby within the next week!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend :) Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy 30th Birthday Dad!

Yesterday, February 11th was Cal's 30th birthday! Baby did not choose its Dad's birthday to make it's appearance!!! Which is okay, now we'll have one more cake and party in February! LOL! Cal had a pretty low key birthday yesterday - he opened his present from Blake and I after work, then we went out for dinner with my Mom and came back home for some birthday cake. In December Cal took a "30th birthday trip" to Seattle with 2 friends. They had fun, with the highlight of the trip being the NFL football game they attended. And since my Dad was out of town this week, my parents took Cal (and family!) out for supper on Sunday and he opened his gift from my fam! So he has had quite a few celebrations! And they are all well deserved! He works so hard and is such an amazing Dad and husband :) We love you Cal, a.k.a. Dad!

This morning I went for another NST. This time we were there a bit longer because baby was sleeping for the first part. After I ate a banana and a cookie baby starting kicking and I was free to go! My Mom came with us to help keep Blake under wraps! He'll know that unit pretty good by the time the baby arrives!! I'm still feeling great for the most part. Not too much else new to report on the baby front. It seems to be very comfy in there :) I will go for another NST on Sunday if need be.

Talk to you all soon!

Induction booked ...

I had a Dr. appointment today and I've been booked for an induction on the 17th. Dr. Ching said more than likely I will go into labour on my own, as I did with Blake, but that having the induction booked early is a good idea! So we will see what the next few days bring. Today my cervix was softer than last week and the baby was much farther down in my pelvis. The Dr. couldn't actually measure me properly because the babies head was so far down. So those are all good signs! There are some interesting upcoming possibilities for babies birthday - Feb. 11 (Cal's 30th), Feb. 13 (Friday the 13th), and Feb. 14 (Valentine's Day). My Mom's birthday is on the 20th and my future brother-in-law's birthday is on the 22nd, but I don't think we'll look that far down the road ... LOL! If baby hasn't arrived by Thursday I have to go in for a NST and same thing on Sunday. We are starting to really think we're having a baby boy, but it's just a hunch and we'd of course be just as happy with a little girl :) I was visiting with our neighbour today and mentioning that I'm feelin' a boy and we were laughing because there are 2 girls and 6 boys amongst 3 of us neighbours! Tomorrow Blake and I are going to head to the mall and do some walking (I'm going to walk and hopefully he'll sit in his stroller!). The day before I went into labour with Blake I spent walking the mall, so maybe it will work again?! Talk to you all soon!

40 Weeks :)

So today is due day! What's that mean anyways?! Who has a baby on their due day? (I guess I've known a few lucky ladies!!)

We went to the hospital this morning for a non-stress test and baby is doing great. I am finally feeling good and it's been over 24 hrs so I think I'm in the clear!!! (I'm knocking on wood right now!) Blake came with us to the hospital this morning. We thought it was a good idea for him to see the hospital and then hopefully when he visits when the baby is born he'll recognize it and be fine!

I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow afternoon so I'll let ya know if anything is new!
