Started out going to the hospital today in hopes that there was some sort of something going on to get the show on the road:) Nope Nada Nothing. Cervix is still closed up and I’m not having any contractions or even the slightest inkling that Sadie is going to make an appearance anytime soon. But HA she can’t be much longer right? They aren’t going to let me go overdue so Thats a good thing. I have yet another appointment next week at the IWK which I have to attend unless She decides sometime between now and tuesday to get herself free… Dr Says that there is lots of room for a vaginal delivery so YAY for no C Section!!!! He actually referred to my cervix as a cervix of steel LOL what does that even mean??!! Anyways Just updating that I am well, Sadie is well, but god only knows when she plans on coming. Take care all Updates coming when shes born!

Hello everyone.

So today marks 10 days till my due date. I honestly can’t wait till I have the baby. Sleeping hasn’t been too bad since my cold is slowly disappearing. Problem is now Jay has the cold.  Sadie is moving alot and playing with my bladder alot. I wish I could see inside my body to see what she’s doing lol. The doctor’s appointments have been nothing short of stellar. She’s doing absolutely perfectly which is so great. :) Jay and I had a tour of the hospital in tuesday. It was good to see where everything was and where we had to go for everything.

The only thing now is the waiting game. Its a little frustrating, and I get tired very easily. Naps are vital for me now in the middle of the afternoon. I don’t really mind. Its just the waiting thats killing me but I know that she’s gonna be here very shortly so I’m trying to get through the next 10 days. I will update as soon as I can.

goodnight for now

the sleep was basically the same. Up every 2 hours or so. Very little heartburn though and the cold is getting better. I used a lot of vaporub and I picked up some cough drops tonight. I wish I could sleep more than 2 hours at a time but its ok… I feel alot better about last night than the night before. So now its 530 in the morning and I`m awake watching youtube videos about britains got talent. lol There are some really good performers for that show. Also I get hungry around this time but if I eat anything substantial oh the heartburn so I only eat baby cookies lol. Well i think i may be able to sleep a little more so I have to try. Good morning :) 541 am

This sucks. I can’t sleep, Jay snores, its so dry in my house I can’t produce saliva if I’m lying in bed. I can’t get comfortable while I’m lying down. The heartburn is still kicking. I have a stupid lip infection or whatever it is. Plus I’m getting up every few hours to pee or whatever when I do actually get to sleep. Nobody tells you when you’re trying to get pregnant that this part sucks so bad.  I’m stressing out over delivery, I feel pretty overwhelmed right now. I was at the doctor’s office today and had a complete meltdown. I am really excited to have this baby but my god I don’t know if I will ever want to put myself through this again for the sake of having another one. I’m beat. Physically and emotionally exhausted. I might be able to sleep again someday soon. Hopefully :( Apparently I am now sick with a cold too. I slept maybe 2 1/2 hours at a time. I took 2 showers to try to help and they did nothing. We figured out the air exchanger to make the air less dry which is good, but holy I am exhausted.

Sadie is coming soon and she’s definately worth all of this but I hope the cold and the anxiety feelings go away soon. I’m stressed. :( Gonna go sleep if I can. Drinking lots of orange juice and trying to rest.


Take care

I ended up going to the hospital this morning because I had a blinding headache (I think due to high blood pressure) and I didn’t want to take chances with anything this late in this game o’pregnancy.  So we get there and of course they check my blood pressure and it’s perfectly fine. Ugh. Ahh well better safe than sorry. Other news this week. I have some weird infection in my lip that I am currently taking antibiotics for. Its been a rough week. I feel gross and tired all the time and I napped for like 5 hours today. Its impossible to sleep through the bathroom interludes and Sadie doesn’t kick me in the ribs which I am most grateful for, however she loves to play grabby with my bladder which is a little painful. The check at the doctors last week was fine. They’re doing weekly ultrasounds to make sure she’s ok and so far she is. I’m 37 weeks now and I can’t wait to have this baby.  So Happy Easter Weekend everyone and hopefully we will have some news soon…

A very tired crabby Tamara

My hips and legs are hurting. I went to sleep around 10 so I have about 5 hours of sleep. I’m up cause it feels better to sit than lie down. Tv really sucks at 4 am. There are a few movies on. Other than that bleh. Infomercials and american news. I have prenatal classes tomorrow night and Doctor’s appointments on tuesday with another ultrasound. Then an appointment with the eye doctor on wednesday. I love travelling in and out of Halifax 3 times in one week. UGH… I wish I could sleep a bit.. I’m going to see Adventureland tomorrow with Jillian and Still looking forward to seeing 17 Again on the 17th with Tricia. If Sadie allows me to do so :) I must try to sleep again. Good Morning :) If nothing else the heartburn is alot better :) yay!
