37 weeks!

3 more to go...

I have gained 2lbs since last week (as you can see from the picture I gained it all in my face!) . I'm not surprised since all I want to eat is junk. Blood pressure is great, as it has been all pregnancy. Baby B's heart rate was 132bpm.

I asked her to check my cervix for my own self torture. Cervix is "soft" (thanks, it's been that way the whole pregnancy...) and only a finger dilated. What does that mean? Nothing, I could go into labor tonight or a month from now.

My guess as to her arrival is September 8th. We'll see!

Fun with a glue stick!

Since it was raining I broke out the "arts and crafts" box that I have. Cam had a blast with the glue stick and some pom-poms!

Mommy a moooo!

We were driving home tonight and Cam said to me "Mommy a moooo!" I had no idea what he was talking about because we were in the neighborhood and there were no cows around. Plus, he knows how to say Cow. Steve and I were trying to figure out what he was saying when we turned up our road. Right there in front of us was the moon! "Mommy a mooo!" He freaking knew the moon was in the sky!

He amazed me the other night again. I had just made a cake and it was sitting on the counter cooling off. Well, he saw it and said "mommy cake." Cameron does not have cake except for birthdays and such here. How he knew it was a cake blew my mind!

Cam has had a word explosion this month. It is amazing! I'm so proud of him! He has his early intervention intake on Wednesday and I'm considering canceling it.

We finished up the nursery today. Cam's crib is in the baby's room and he has the crib from Nana's house. He actually slept in his big boy bed at nap time because he didn't like the crib. We tried to make a HUGE deal about him sleeping in there by himself but come bed time he could not have cared less! Into the crib he went. At least we made some progress with the bed.

Now that I have the baby's bedding in the room I don't think the rug (#2) is going to look good. There's flowers in the 2 pictures I hung up and also on the crib sheet. Adding a rug with flowers will just be too much. There was a striped rug at Pottery Barn Kids that I like but of course now its not on the website. The search continues!

We need a bigger house!

It's very sad to say that after only 2 years we have out grown this house! Steve has been using the 3rd bedroom as his own personal closet. Well, now with the upcoming arrival of Baby B he has to give it up!

We had great intentions to get the room organized and complete today. It didn't really happen. First, we cannot move the crib in there since Cam is still in it. I have thought about moving it anyway and seeing if he'll sleep in the bed but I'm not really ready to "force" him out of it. So, Steve emptied the closet, brought the mattress/box spring downstairs and moved his dresser into our room. I washed the curtains, mopped the floor and hung a picture. That's it. Of course we made a HUGE mess in our room and downstairs. Does it ever end?

36 Weeks!

I guess 13w of bed rest did its job, they didn't think I'd make it this far! I on the other hand do not think this child is going to come any time soon. I have an appointment tomorrow so we'll see if I've made any progress.

I went to Babies R Us today and bought some diapers, nipples, binkies and a few other things. Now, if we could just get Cam out of the crib we'd be all set!

I Miss...

I miss my pre-baby body.
I miss uninterrupted sleep.
I miss hanging out with "the girls."
I miss Margaritas on the rocks, no salt with a splash of Chambord. (no, its no accident that one follows hanging w/the girls).
I miss spending quality time with Steve.
I miss living in Andover.
I miss Cam after he has gone to sleep for the night.
I miss being able to go to the beach and read a book.

I will NOT miss these damn pregnancy hormones.

A very busy week!

Cam went back to just 2 mornings a week at daycare. Since I decided I'm off bedrest I wanted to spend more time with him before Baby B comes.

On Monday Lucy and Tanya (aka "yaya") met us at the Maquan Playground. The had a blast! It's a great playground because it's far from the road and the ground is that soft, squishy stuff so they can't get hurt.

Wednesday we met Lucy/Tanya and Ava/Michael/Carla at Penniman Hill Farm in Higham. There was a little petting zoo there. Cam's new phrase that day was "baby goat."




Today we went to Pope John Paul II Park in Dorchester. Cameron had an absolute blast pushing Gina's baby carriage around! I guess he's ready for his baby sister to arrive so he can help Mommy!
