Uno, Dos, Tres!!

I love the friends I have!!! They truly allow me to be me and they accept me for who I am. My best friend of all is my husband. No! Seriously! More than my husband he is my friend. I can tell him anything and I can always expect honesty. He makes me laugh for no reason and tells me stories and jokes. He tells me secrets and thoughts and he let's me be me without making me feel stupid. I thank God everyday for the wonderful person He has placed by my side.

How Fast Things Change!

Sticking to my ultimate theme of First Time Momma on this blog today I wanna dedicate a post to FTM, Tania Costeira. Caleb spent the last 2 days in the hospital for a nasty Croup Cough and Congestion. Wednesday we had dinner at Tania's and Caleb was sick...but it's amazing at HOW FAST he got worse. When a child can't speak and express where it hurts or what he is feeling you feel so helpless. You don't know what to do because you don't know what's wrong. All you can do is go with your gut. Thursday morning Caleb went to the ER and there he was admitted. Thank God he is better now and he is home. It just made me realize how unexpected life is. One moment everyone is healthy and happy and the next someone gets sick or something happens that is completely out of left field and throws your world for a loop. We really need to rely on God everyday.

39 Weeks...365 Updates Starting now!

So, doctor appointments are every Tuesday at 1pm. Since 36weeks5days weeks they have been weekly and at first very exciting! Now....not so much....At 36/5 weeks, I was a fingertip dilated and baby was a little dropped! Good for 36/5!! There was talk of Landon coming early!! I started nesting and I was cramping like no one's business!!! I was sitting on the couch one afternoon and as I got up from the couch my tummy got so tight and so cramped that I actually CRIED! I couldn't breathe, couldn't stand, couldn't walk! I was in such excruciating pain!! Doctor said it was a really bad muscle cramp...And that's when things slowed down. At my next appointment, 37 weeks 5 days, I was a full one centimeter dilated and doctor said baby had dropped even more. Exciting, right!??!!! Until, my last appointment....38weeks 5 days and Landon has not budged!!! 80% Effaced 1 centimeter dilated and Landon fluctuates from -3 to -2 station....So, he floats up and down. Greaaaaaaaaattt..........Now, we talk inductions and C-Sections just cause first babies tend to come either on time or later....I know I know. I have another week and a half to go! He has plenty of time! But, it's a hard thing to wait for!!
     Im tired, cranky, anxious, sleepy!! I don't fall asleep easily. Mind you, it's 1 in the morning and I'm updating my blog. Tired, yes, but if I lay down I can't breathe and I toss and turn. Lando wakes up with every move to make sure I'm ok, so if I don't sleep, he doesn't sleep. I guess i was just really hoping to avoid this whole "uncomfortable, 9-months-in-one" stage. But, who do I think I am?? I couldn't possibly be THAT lucky!! So, now we wait. He'll comes when he comes and that's that!!

Staying Home is not Relaxing

So, I'm finally on leave! Sleeping late, relaxing, getting my nails done, just chilling until baby arrives....YEH RIGHT!!! Since last Wednesday, I have had a persistent throat infection and Laryngitis. So, Wednesday was spent inside due to the snow and me being sickies...Thursday i slept ALL DAY! Until 3pm! But, Friday until now has been spent doing laundry and getting things ready for the Little One. I thought he should at least had a clean bed and clean clothes when he arrives. But, it's been beyond just washing a couple onesires and blankets! I have set up his basisnet, finished buying and exchanging everything I needed for baby and almost setting done setting up his corner-nursery. Exhausting? Very! Rewarding? Definately! Lando thinks I'm insane because I have this need to get everthing built and set up! But, I can't help it! I just feel so unprepared! I guess I'm just compensating for my feeling of emotional unpreparedness and trying to get the physical things ready. And , I might get yelled at but today was scrub-the bathroom-floor day! Ugh! I swear it was a filthy mess! My Swiffer Mop just wasn't cutting it! I NEED TO SMELL THE CLEAN!! So, I opened the windows and bleached the whole bathroom!! I sprayed it all!! Now, I have to do it in shifts. So, first I sprayed everything with Tilex. Let it sit a while and went back and scrubbed the floor. Now, I'm resting and will return to wash the bathtub, toilet, sink and mirrors. MMMMMM..........THEN I SPRAY THE LYSOL!!! YAY LYSOL!!!! And the bathroom will be officially clean!!
     But, whatever happened to me relaxing at home?? I guess when everything is done I'll relax! Right now I just need to get this pent up energy out!

baby has a bed!!!!

Landon officially has his bassinet!!!! Let the nesting period begin!!

1 down 9 more to go!!

1 CM DILATED!! YIPPEEEEE!!!!!!
Started my weekly doctor appointments and baby is on his way! 1 CM dilated! Dr. Pinto said he will be either on-time or early! No waiting past the due date for this baby! I guess he as excited as we are! I know, I know...1 centimeter is nothing....But it's everything to me!!!! With a rough weight estimate of 5lbs at 34 and a half weeks, i do NOT want this baby to take any longer than it needs to! I don't need to push out a 9 lb baby!
     Heck, medically, he can come next week! I can be holding my precious son by next Thursday! Can you believe that?? And honestly, I wish I was....This pelvic pressure is kicking my butt!! Try holding a bowling ball between your legs and walking with it....for a couple days....now put down the bowling ball....You've done well grasshopper but I'm sure your exhausted and your legs feel like they are gonna fall off, no? Yeh that's what I feel EVERY SINGLE time I get up or when I roll over in bed...or put on my pants, or shoes..It's not fun! But, the end result is so worth it!
     Don', get me wrong! I'm really scared and overwhelmed as much as I am excited! I have so many things to do before he comes and I'm always so tired! And, then again, I have never had a baby before! I've never been a mom! So, the unknown is kind of what gets to me...But, God is in control! More updates next week!!
