36 week checkup

So I just got back from my 36 week checkup! She said that everything looked good! When she checked me, she said that I was probably around a 1/2 cm dialated. So I'm not a full cm, but I'm on my way there. She said that it was good that I was dialated some, and that it showed that my body was making the changes it needed to to prepare for having Trey!! I go back next Friday for my next checkup, so we will see what kind of progress I have made then! There is a full moon tomorrow and on the 1st, so hopefully that won't do anything crazy!

Brian and I are getting our new car on Friday since we are both off work, so that will be nice to have that taken care of! I took my car this morning to get the car seat installed, and then I am trying to make another appointment for after Friday to get the other carseat base installed in the new car. We needed 2 since when I go back to work, Brian will be getting off work before me, so sometimes, he will need to pick Trey up from Tina's house!!

More updates to come next week after my appointment!! I'm excited that I will be 37 weeks this Saturday though!! Trey will be considered full term at that point, and I am pleased to know that he managed to stay in there through the holiday season at work! What a relief!!

4 weeks and counting!!

Only 4 weeks left!!!! Brian and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little fella!! He could be here anytime, but I just hope I'm not at work when he decides its time to come out! I don't want to feel even more stressed and stress everyone there out either!! I do have another manager working with me at all times, so at least I don't have to worry about there not being a manager there with me if I did go into labor at work!

I have my next check up on Wednesday morning, so I'm anxious to see how that's going to go! I'm also going that morning to get the car seat installed in my car!! We'll have to make another appointment to get the other base installed in Brian's car! All the pre-baby errands are almost complete, but I still feel like there is lots to be done!! Brian and I need to run a couple of errands later this week to finish up some things, and then I think we will be set!

We are so excited to meet him!! Just can't wait!!

35 weeks/35 days!!!

I had my last 2 week check up yesterday and everything with Trey is going well! They listened to his heartbeat, and it was very strong which is always a relief! They also measured and that was good too! Next week is when I start my weekly appointments, so we will see how that goes starting on Wednesday!! I have had some braxton hicks contractions as of late, but too my knowledge, none of them have been the real thing. It's still a little early for him to come in my opinion, but he'll come whenever he's ready, so it may not be when I would like it!

Yesterday I had a pampered morning. After my dr appt, I went and had an hour long prenatal massage and an hour long hot stone pedicure that Brian got me for my birthday!! It was so nice and relaxing! I definitely needed it, that's for sure!! Now if I can just make it through the rest of the holiday season, I feel like I will be in the home stretch! hahah! I just need to get everything finalized with the HR department at work for my maternity leave, and then we will be ready!

34 weeks

So we are getting closer and closer with every day, and Brian and I are so excited about Trey getting here!! We are almost completely finished with his room, and once that is finished, all we will have to do is wait for him to decide that he's ready to be here! In the meanwhile, I'm trying to rest on my days off, but sometimes that is really hard because I always think of things that I need to do. However, today I am off work, and I am making myself get some rest! Especially for my feets sake!! This coming Friday I have a doctors appt where they will check for Group B strep, and then after my appointment, I am going to redeem the gift certificate that Brian got me for my birthday for an hour long massage, and after that an hour long hot stone pedicure! It should be a really relaxing day, and I'm definitely looking forward to it!!! Now I just need to make it through the rest of the holiday season at work, and I will be home free until Trey gets here!! Can't wait!

33 weeks!!

So we only have about 6.5 more weeks until Trey's due date!!! We are so excited and can't wait for him to get here so that we can hug him and kiss him and play with him!!! I have one more 2 week doctors appointment next Friday where they will test me for Group B strep. Then after that, I will start going weekly until our little guy is here!!! I am reaching that point where I'm just ready for him to be here! I'm exhausted all the time, and working gets harder and harder every day! Now I need to figure out what day I'm going to give to the corporate office for when my leave starts. I want to try and work as long as possible, so that I have more time off after Trey is born, but we will have to see what happens! I do know that my dr won't let me go past 40 weeks before inducing, so I don't have to worry about being weeks late or anything like that. I do still feel like I have a chance of going early since it is the holiday season in the retail industry, and that comes along with stress! I try to not stress out, but I don't think thats gonna happen! It's just what I do! hahaha.

I just had my last baby shower, and got some more amazing gifts!!! Trey's room is almost completely finished, and as soon as it is, I will get the pictures posted!! For now, I'm about to head to work. Last year, the extended holiday mall hours weren't that big of a deal, but now, I just hope I can make it through!!!
