Well, apparently our baby isn't quite ready to make his grand appearance. I am officially 40 weeks today. Going 8 months with the date of "July 24th" in your head - and then that day comes and you still don't have your baby, well...we think it is a little frustrating. But that's okay.
We went to the Doctor again on Thursday and I was dilated to a "1+" - whoa! HeHe.
However, we know that this little guy will be here by Friday per Doctors orders.
Even though we REALLY want this boy here, I feel extremely blessed that we have carried him as long as we have. We had a scare at 34 weeks because of my blood pressure, swelling and water retention - The doctor told me that we will probably have to deliver the baby Monday because of my blood pressure. Casey put me on strict couch rest and I didn't do a thing all weekend. It worked. So here we are.
The nursery has been done for quite some time and I cant believe how many things we already have for him. The brick wall isn't done yet - we are adding one thing to it (which I am not telling you what it is yet) but Casey painted the wall, and I am totally impressed. What do you think???
As for me - I absolutely LOVE being pregnant. I think it is the most AMAZING thing I have ever experienced. I actually think I will miss it. However, I have gained a whooping 59 pounds - so don't think I haven't had it that rough. My doc says he thinks a lot of it is water, which I am hoping he is right. But every pound, the restless nights, being uncomfortable and extremely hot all the time is totally worth it. And the payoff is coming soon.
Today...
I do have to throw in...that my husband is absolutely amazing. He rubs my feet every night and has cooked almost every meal the last 2 weeks and hasn't even complained. I love him!

I heard about this wall! I can't wait to see Tyson's special effect... ;D
You have a cute bump, girl- but I'm sure you won't be sad to see it go. We're thinking of you! Good luck!!!
I am so excited for you. I just heard our baby's heart beat for the first time last week, I feel like 40 weeks will never come. hope everything goes well. update soon!
What a fun nursery! I've been thinking about you a lot lately because I knew that little boy was going to be here pretty soon. I know how disappointing it is to go past your due date, but don't fret. He'll be here soon enough. You still look FABULOUS and stylish as ever (of course- no surprise there). I'm way impressed with Casey's wall- what hard work! Good luck with delivery. I can't wait to see him!!!!!
I stumbled across your blog today while hitting the little "next blog" button at the top of my blogger homepage!
40 weeks...wow! I never got anywhere close to 40 weeks with my kiddos, 36 weeks for my son and 29 weeks for my girls...so have no clue how you are feeling right now! I love your nursery and know that you cannot wait to have that little bundle of joy rocking away in your arms in it!
I'm your newest follower & cannot wait to see you new little one in just a few days I' sure!
I too went over with Tyler. It seemed like the days lasted for weeks! His nursery is awesome. What a lucky little man. I cannot wait to see him and hear about labor/delivery/and your sweet little baby. You do not look like you've gained 59 pounds. You look so cute!
Maybe it's just because I used to teach in the barrio, but I think your brick wall is missing some sweet graffiti or tagging. I know some pretty good taggers I could hook you up with! ;) You look awesome! 40 weeks!! I'm jealous. I hit 37 today and I'm already crafting my arguments for my doc to induce me early! I can't wait to *meet* baby boy!
That wall is amazing! Go Casey! The nursery is adorable :) You look great girl! I love that little bump of yours so adorable! Good luck with everything, cant wait to hear about the delivery! Its the most amazing thing becoming a mommy! Make sure ya let me know when that little man makes his appearance ;)
Rachelle,
You look absolutely beautiful! Casey did a great job on the nursery wall. I'm sure you're anxious and facing even one more day on the couch must be frustrating. We're praying for you all and a safe healthy delivery for your little one!
Love you lots,
Aunt Patti
YEA YEA a preggers pic! You look so cute! I love the babys room, so so cute! Can't wait to see the little guy!
Do tell us how you made the bookshelves?
The wall looks awesome- as do you.
I will not go into being upset with you for not telling me about your BP. Is it still up? Are you swelling a ton? Did they do a 24 hour protein if it is still up? Perhaps I should email you. Once I finally started peeing after Maddox's pregnancy I lost 30 pounds in 2 days... and then lots more over the next few days. I hope the same for you!
Oh- I am really not upset with you. ;) Probably best you didn't tell me. I would have freaked myself out- and probably you... I am a bit nervous about BP's in pregnancy.
We just got back in town and I had to hop online to see if you had the baby! Darn it! Good luck this week and we will be thinking about you. Can't wait to see him!
He seriously painted that?! Wow! Well now that I am typing this I am realizing your little guy is already here! How amazing and exciting is that?!! I cant wait to hear more about him and the delivery! As I am sure you figured... I bet you come home from the hospital 20-30 pounds lighter! It rocks!! Oh I am so excited for you guys!! Congrats! The nursery looks amazing!
