Hospital visit...

Ok, so I had a couple of questions for my doctor yesterday, so I called her office and... guess what?... she was "out of the office." Not only was SHE out of the office, but the other OB at the practice was "out of the office." I just kept thinking, what if I was going into labor??? It is pretty crazy that BOTH of the OB's at the office are out on the same day! Anyway, I ended up talking to one of the regular nurses and, of course, she couldn't give me the answers I was looking for (even after consulting another nurse). So, she tells me the last thing I wanted to hear, "Why don't you just go down the to hospital and get looked at..." I tried to tell her that I didn't really think it was THAT important, that I was just letting the office know what was going on, but she insisted that I go anyway. So we took a trek down to the hospital to see what was what. It was INSANE down there. At that point I was really glad that I wasn't going into labor because they were FULL. There were women waiting in the lobby. Anyway, after sitting there for two hours on the monitors they decided that everything was fine and that we could go home. I told the nurse at the office that it was NOTHING! But she didn't believe me. If the doctors had been in the office it would have probably been a five minute phone call instead of a two hour hospital visit. LAME!

could be a while...

At our appointment today our doctor told us that nothing had really changed yet. Not good. She thinks that because Bella was late (9 days!) that this baby will probably be late too. And I was hoping she'd want to get on my good side and show up her sister by coming early... We have another appointment schedule for next Wednesday (the doctor's have my due date down as the 14th, so that's the day before I am officially 40 weeks). At that appointment, if nothing has changed yet, we will start talking about scheduling an induction. I don't really want to have to be induced, but I am READY to be DONE (like two weeks ago!)! I am still hoping that she'll decide to come on her own before our next appointment. Bella still says she'll be here on Saturday... like tomorrow... sounds good to me.

pregnant ladies...

There are a couple of pregnant ladies in the classes that Bella and I go to at the YMCA. One is due on the 18th and the other has a scheduled c-section on the 20th. Today, the one that has the scheduled c-section told me, "hey, maybe I'll see you at the hospital!" I thought, I sure hope not. I sure hope that we are in and out of the hospital by then! Bella says that her baby sister will be here on Saturday. Let's hope she's right!

Nice and comfy...

It looks like this little girl is nice and comfy in here and she just doesn't want to come out yet. We had another doctor's appointment today and things don't seem to be changing much. We have another appointment next Friday and I can only hope she'll be ready by then...

One of those days...

Bella is having one of those days...
Some of the things I have heard her say in the last HOUR are:
"Is Daddy home?"
"Where did Daddy go?"
"Daddy, where are you going?"
"Mommy, where did Daddy go?"
"What are you doing, Daddy?"
"What are you doing, Mommy?"
"What are you eating, Mommy?"
"Mommy, what do you have?"
"What do you have, Daddy?"
"Do you see that?"
"What is that?"
"What is that?"
"What is that?"
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
All I can say is, "When is BEDTIME?"

9 years and counting...

So yesterday was our nine year (!) anniversary. When I say it out loud, it's pretty crazy to me that it's been so long, but at the same time it seems like it's been FOREVER (whether that is a good thing or a bad thing depends on the day). ;) We did NOTHING yesterday (which was my choice) since Dusty didn't get off work until almost 7 and by that time at night I'm pretty wiped out. I hope we aren't turning into one of those couples... All and all it's been a pretty great ride... and next year we'll make up for not doing anything this year and do something AWESOME! Maybe Hawaii??? One can only hope... :)

Baby Update...

We went to another doctor's appointment today. We are now getting to the final stages where we have to go every week. So here's the big news we found out today... we are not even close to seeing this baby. It could be a while before she comes. I was not excited to hear that. In fact, when the doctor said that my response was "Oh, man!" And said to me in return "What? Are you ready to be done?" Um... YES!
