two hundred seventy five

PAIN- I'm not sure if I am ready for it or not but here it is coming. Went to the doc this morning and she stripped my membranes and I am dilated to 3cm. The PAIN was intense beyond what I expected and it is making me rethink the epidural again!!!

I keep telling Baby Archer that it is time... Your room is finished, we have moved in, all the stuff is clean and put away, but she doesn't budge. Yesterday I couldn't tell where one toe started and the other began.

Hoping and praying this works...

today's cravings: a baby and maybe some mango

today's goals: stay active and drink water

Ok now for April: weekly visits at the doctor to show NOTHING... all of these contractions have led to nothing. Archer's head is on my pelvic bone and she is turned perfectly but nothing more. I go Monday and I'm hoping to have some news of an arrival SOON.

We have been moving into our new HOUSE that we just bought for 22,000 and you would think it would be a dump but it has been great! Moving and being this pregnant not so much :( But I'm happy to say that having a nursery that I can put together has been the best :) Except I keep changing my mind about color and positions and I have to wait till Monday when the carpet is put in to put anything in her room....

today's cravings: cocoa wheaties, tofu mushroom soup, decaf mocha

today's goals: organize kitchen, finish painting upstairs, GET THIS BABY MOVING!

I couldn't believe how long it had been since I posted for the last time. I really had to get my brain(it is true about the pregnancy brain) going to figure out what all has happened since February.... had Amanda's birthday party at Dom's and ate fish while everyone else enjoyed burgers.. SALT was my enemy!

MARCH: had a visit to the hospital with contractions and cramping to find out that I had a bladder infection. They stopped the contractions with some medicine that made me very jittery and felt like I had drank TOO much coffee...

I kept on gaining weight in big numbers and was told that I needed to eat better, so I cut out the daily ice cream :( And bought myself a maternity belt to help hold this girl up.

March 24: We had a Birthday Dinner with Dom and I was told that my LONG LOST Family wasn't lost anymore. 20 years started creeeeping in. Then I started to realize that I was the one out of the loop, so I had a lot of catching up to do. The next day was spring break so that allowed me some time to sort it all out, or at least I thought...That Sunday I made the first call and talked to my dad for the first time since I was 6. Followed by my Aunt Mai, Uncle Christian, and Aunt Quynci....

March Cravings: Anything I wasn't allowed to have

March Goals: Relax and put my feet up
