Today Daph, while driving back to work from lunch, I saw a newborn baby calf. It made me think that you could come any day, and for the first time I can say we are ready for you! Our hospital bags are packed, the nursery is finished and everything has been checked off my to do list. I still would like to shampoo the carpets before you get here, but it is not a must I can do that once you get here.
Roscoe is now an outside dog, he hates it and it makes me feel bad. I finally kicked Roscoe all the way out when I realized he had gotten fleas in the house, they were/are in the carpet, urghhh..... I swear it seems like we always have some kind of pest living with us. I just realized that when you are older reading this you might think we had a dirty house, but that is not the case. I clean it everyday, we just have bad luck with bugs and skunks and stuff. The fleas are only in our bedroom, where Roscoe spent most of the time, but I am getting bombs tonight to get rid of them.
Last week we had a doctor appointment and you were doing just fine, heartbeat was 155. I also found out that we have to start going to the doctor every week now instead of every other week. It's exciting that we are getting close and kinda a pain because I have to get off work, but you are well worth it. I hope at this weeks appointment they can give me some information, like what position are you in, am I dilated any, are we still on for the same due date. Last Thursday I thought something was wrong with me, my left side hurt so bad, constantly all day. When I got to the doctor and asked them what was going on, they told me it was you. You must have been lying different or pushing on something. I hope you don't decide to do that again.
We took the tour of the hospital last weekend, and for the most part it answered my questions, but it also brought up a concern. We learned that the three doctors in the practice rotate shifts on the weekends, so there is a good chance the doctor I have been using and am comfortable with, will not be the doctor to deliver you, if you come on a weekend, urghhh... I know I have told you to come on a Friday but unless it is Friday the 15th (our doctor is on call then) then please come on a weekday. A Thursday would be best, that way daddy can take off Friday and Monday and have plenty of time with us.
Daddy is already ready for you to get here, I mean like tomorrow would be good with him. Every night he talks to you and says hurry up Daphne, I want you to come out. Daddy thinks you will be here within the next two weeks, I think you will wait on your due date, or longer.
Well Daphne, today is Tuesday and it has started off to be a very good day, lets hope mommy's mood stays that way! One reason I am happy today is because I am wearing a shirt from before I lost weight and it is still big on me. Makes me happy that at 9 months pregnant I am still smaller then I was at my heaviest. Now I know once you get here I can get this weight back off.
Wednesday morning came way too early when you woke up at 4:15am with hiccups. It was so cute, but then I felt bad that my little girl had hiccups and there was nothing I could do to stop them. This morning was really the first time I can remember you keeping me up because you were moving so much. Not only did you have hiccups for about 15 minutes but it felt like you were moving lower and lower into your birth position. I hope this is what I was feeling anyways! Daddy said this morning that he thinks you will be here Oct 16th, I think you will be here between the 29th and 31st. Lets see who wins.
Thursday has been very aggravating!!! Some out of state friends of you dads have come to Texas because their mother died. We said they could stay at the house when they came because the information we were given was that they were coming in November and staying 1 maybe 2 nights. Well this morning daddy got a call from them saying they were in Texas and are going to be here for 2 weeks. I don't want to be selfish but I really wanted these last three weeks before you got here to be special for daddy and I, and I don't want to be playing hostess for them.
Friday was a doctor's appointment, I was disappointed for a few reasons. One, we didn't find out any new information like if we are getting closer to labor or not. Second was I thought I wasn't going to get to have an appointment next week, but after some tears and dwelling over it all weekend, I got things worked out. Good news is your doing great in there and the doctor said you might have dropped since my uterus hadn't grown any from the previous week. Also I weighed this morning and we lost 2 pounds, yippee!
