So I am 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant and had my weekly checkup today. I told the doctor about the strong contractions I have been having every 10-15 minutes since last Friday and he said, "I am sure you are all ready to go then...I will strip your membranes and get the show on the road". I almost wet myself with excitement because it is so hard for me to get around and to wrangle Gabe with this huge belly. Anywho, he did my examination (fun stuff) and he was shocked because I am barely dialated to a 1! He decided to hook me up to the non-stress test machine to monitor my contractions and yep every 10 minutes and they rate the strength between a 1-10 and mine were around 8 which means painful but lucky me they aren't doing a darn thing! So, there it is my little rant:) On the bright side he said that they would induce me at 39 weeks being so I can't sleep through these contractions and I can't keep up with Gabe plus I have this wierd itchy thing because my liver and gallbladder are not working as they should. So, my official 39 week date is June 23rd so please pray that the doctor is kind enough to take care of business that exact day - this baby is cooked and this mama is ready to meet him:) PS - if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this labor started I am up for ANY suggestions....I heard eating pineapple works so on Wednesday I ate an entire 2 lb pineapple by myself but just ended up with heart burn:)
Grandpa and Grandma B have been such lifesavers! They have been spoiling all of us and helping out since I went into labor with Kent!
Sorry this pic is sideways and we still need a pic with papa. Nana and Papa have also helped out a ton - Gabe and Kent are so blessed to have such amazing grandparents!
Hello World!
Our perfect little angels!
I am so thankful to have such a great husband and father to our almost 2 kids! Gabe is such a lucky boy to have such a caring and patient daddy!
Adam has been a natural since day 1! This is still one of my favorite photos (this is Gabe - no new baby yet)- I don't think I have ever seen Adam so happy or excited....what a great daddy! We love you - thanks for all you do. Love, Ang, Gabe and baby brodder (still haven't decided on a name - yieks!)
For those of you who don't know, Gabe's Grandpa Bartholomew is a master sunflower grower - he has been growing sunflowers since his first grandchild and the grandkids LOVE it! Since he is serving a mission he and grandma sent Gabe his own sunflowers to grow and a cute story about sunflowers. Gabe had a blast playing in the dirt and getting super messy. We are hoping there are at least some sprouts when Grandpa and grandma come to visit him and his new baby brother! Thanks so much Grandpa and Grandma!
