Tomorrow is the day!

I went to the doctors today for my 40 week visit. Sophia will be born tomorrow! Dr. Parks decided to go ahead and induce me tomorrow morning since I am already 3 cm dilated and my blood pressure is creeping up. I'm excited that Dr. Rollins is on call!!! She's my favorite. I'm very nervous, but so excited to meet my sweet Sophia. We check in at 6:30 a.m. I can't believe it's time!!!

Due Date and Still No Baby...

Well, Today is my official due date. Sophia has decided that she is comfortable and warm inside Mommy's tummy and doesn't want to come out. I go to the doctors tomorrow and will not leave until they give me an induction date! I am so ready to meet our baby girl! I have had a few contractions but nothing consistent. I'm worried that she is getting really big. My tummy is growing by the minute. At least we know the end (or just the beginning) is in sight!

My funny Dad

My Dad called me yesterday and said "Are you in labor?" I said, "No, not yet." And he said "Okay, I'll call you again in an hour." LOL I guess he wants to call every hour until this baby is born! Mom and Dad also gave me a panic button. You push it and it says "okay, stay calm...on second thought... PANIC!!! AHHHHHH!" lol When I go into labor I'm going to call them and not say anything...just push the button and hold it up to the phone!

T minus 168 hours and counting...

I'm amazed that I'm only one week away from my due date. Domingo and I are filled with a million different emotions right now...even though he'll tell you he's not nervous at all! At my last doctors appointment Sophia was definitely head down and I was 1 cm dilated. I'm trying not to get to anxious about having her and just be excited but the closer we get to the 29th the more anxious I get. I'm so ready to meet her! Her nursery is all ready as is the rest of the house. Nesting kicked in big time yesterday and I scrubbed and scrubbed. I felt like I ran a marathon afterwards! Now if we can just keep it clean! :)



Some things I want to remember:

*One of my students asked me the other day if I could see the baby through my belly button! Haha!

*Another student said "Mrs. Palos, When you eat does the food drop on the baby's head?" LOL TOO CUTE!

Dear Sophia...

Dear Sophia,

Mommy and Daddy are ready to meet you. Would you please come before Thanksgiving? We love you!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

So much for cleaning the house!

I just couldn't find the energy! Maybe on Wednesday...I have the day off! We shall see...

3 weeks and counting!

Only three weeks to go until Sophia's due date! Yesterday Domingo and I went to the doctors for a normal check up. I'm going every week now. I was 1/2 cm dilated and had lost 2 lbs. So I'm officially up only 6lbs the entire pregnancy! WOO HOO! I know that the 1/2 cm dilated means nothing, but I was happy to hear that!!! Only 9 1/2 cms to go! haha! I can't believe we're going to have a little girl in a matter of a few weeks. I can't wait to see what she looks like. I did the last of her laundry today and tomorrow I'm going to give the house a good cleaning for the last time...if I can find the energy that is. What's even more exciting...only 11 more days to work before maternity leave! YAY! :)
