38 Week OB

This week the Dr checked me for dilation since I have been having contractions, and I am measuring ahead of schedule. However, my cervix is still closed. I told him about all my attempts at labor, and he gave me a few more to try. If I am not progressing by next week, we are going to talk about induction or doing something more invasive to get this labor going. My blood pressure is also up, so he told me that I need to take it easy.

My Weight: 158lbs

His Heart Rate: 154bpm

Dilation: 0cm

The baby has stayed very active even though there is little room to move around inside of me. Last night we happened to have the camera handy when he decided to stretch out. This picture is real, and yes, it is VERY uncomfortable when he does this.

So gross! I am so happy that he is strong and healthy, but I am so ready to see him move and wiggle without having to feel it happening inside of me. Oh baby, please come out. There is a lot more room out here!

APRIL!

The month that we have been planning and preparing for is finally here. Its so exciting to say that we are going to have our little boy THIS MONTH!
We have everything we need for his arrival, so now we just wait for him to decide when that will be. Obviously I have been trying to persuade him that sooner is better than later, but its all up to him!

Since I started "nesting" as soon as I saw the pink plus symbol, the nursery has been ready for months. There are a few finishing touches that are still needed, but we are happy with how it turned out.

Grandma Bailey (my mom) found these for us around Christmas time. They are supposed to be ornaments, but I think they are adorable purched on the edge of the crib.Matt and I put this dresser/changing table together ourselves with the frame from Ikea and the drawers from Target. Matt designed the shelves and organized all the little trinkets and books.I painted this bird trio a few months ago. I am hoping to do some more artwork for his room when I find the time.These owl figurines were sent to me by my grandma. She had a ton of them that she had collected over the years, so I am so excited to have some real family heirlooms in his room.This little one was found by Grandpa Aprecio on a trip to Mexico.I saw this cute coat hook, and had to have it. I LOVE coo coo clocks, but Matt thinks they're creepy. So we settled on this one, and Im glad we did. It works so well with the theme.

I cant wait to add one more little thing to this room...
