Today is my due date, but no baby!

I can't explain how disappointed I am that Baby Lawson hasn't arrived. I understand that today is his due date, but I know he isn't going arrive as NOTHING is going on. I feel NOTHING! I feel like I felt in January, but a whole heck of lot bigger!!! I think doctor's should stop giving due dates, but due weeks!!!! I think that would be a lot better to deal with than an actual due date.

I decided to take today off as I didn't feel like going to work. I have no patience for KC and what they believe is/could be a crisis! I have my own crisis going on in my head and I need a day to myself. My crisis is I really want Baby Lawson to be born in March. I do not know why, but I do. I don't want to be induce to make that happen, but I'm tired of him kicking and sitting on my gallbladder. It hurts so bad when he touches it that I get tears in my eyes. I want him to come on his own, but the thought of being pregnant any longer makes me want to cry.
Up until this pass week, life being pregnant has be wonderful. I would do all of this again minus the gallbladder issue.

Well when Baby Lawson arrives Mark and I will let everyone know.
Talk soon!

Dr. Appt. Update 3/25

We went for our 39 week appointment and I'm still the same, 1CM and 50% effaced. Pretty much nothing going on. I'm sad, b/c I thought for sure something would have changed. Oh well he will arrive when he is ready.

We had to be put on the monitor this morning as I didn't feel him move all morning. Baby Lawson is fine. He must have been just relaxing this morning. The monitor showed I was have real contractions, but I didn't feel anything.

Our next appointment is 4/1/2008 if Baby Lawson doesn't arrive by then. I going to say because I do not want him born on April Fool's Day, he will decide that is when he is ready to arrive. I don't like April Fool's Day, I sure hope he comes before or just waits until 4/2.

Scrapbook Pictures

Here are the pictures of the pages that I put together for Baby Lawson. I made a visitor page to record all the visitors that will come and see him at the hospital or the house. I also put together a page to have his thumb and foot prints put on. Then I did his nursery, my 32 & 35 week pregnancy pictures, and his 4th Ultrasound pictures.

Update from Doctor Appointment 3/18

We went to our 38 week appointment yesterday. I'm about the same still, but according to the ultrasound we had, Baby Lawson is 8 LBS, but the ultrasound is +/- at least 1 LB. We'll see when Baby Lawson arrives. Remember its a full moon Friday 3/21, so who knows. I'm very tired and my back is killing me. Mark is such a trooper he has been doing a lot of stuff around the house as I come home from work and go straight to bed.

This past weekend I did get more of Baby Lawson's Scrapbook done. I'll take pictures and post them for you to see.

That's about all that's going on.

Talk soon!

Today is My 31st Birthday!

Today is my 31st birthday. My sweet husband and the cats bought me a gift card to Kohl's to get post pregnancy clothes and a gift card to the local scrapbooking store! I'm very excited! I can't wait to go and spend them :) My dad and Nancy are on their way up to spend time with me on my birthday. We are going to Victoria's Italian restaurant. It's a local restaurant in Appleton and the food is so yummy!

Also my cousin had her baby today - Michael Patrick Heern. How cool is that! Welcome to the family Michael!!!

Baby Lawson's Nursery

We took pictures of Baby Lawson's Nursery! We wanted to share them with everyone. We just love the way the room turned out. The pictures on the wall of the animals were drawn by one of the girls I work with. She drew and hand painted them for Mark and I. We just love them!!!! We feel it makes the nursery more homey than all the store bought decro. Also on the shelves are Mark's stuff puppies that he had when he was a little boy. One of the puppies "Peaches" has been around since Mark was born. And Baby Lawson has his Michael Jordan shoes on a shelf also. His Uncle Greg bought them for him and is hoping he love basketball as much as Greg does.

Busy Saturday

Today I cleaned my house from head to toe. I cleaned the bathrooms and wiped the light fixtures down, I dusted everything and anything that I could, Mark vacuum the house and wiped the fridge and dishwasher down and we mopped. I then went and got a manicure and pedicure and I my hair cut. We were going to go to the movies tonight but I fell asleep on the couch. I guess you can say I'm doing the nesting thing, but I don't think so, as I always clean my house on the weekend.

Oh and McDonald's now has Shamrock Shakes!!! I love Shamrock shakes anyways, but being pregnant I think they really rock! Tonight Mark had to go and get me a Shamrock Shake. In case you are not sure what a Shamrock shake is, it is a limited time only mint shake at McDonald's and they are very yummy! I know my in-laws do not know what they are b/c Mark had no clue about them and I tried to order a Shamrock Shake when I lived in Knoxville and the McDonald employee looked at me as if I was from another planet. By the way Mark thinks Shamrocks Shakes rock also.

Besides that nothing else going on excepting waiting for baby Lawson to arrive.

36 weeks Doctor Appointment

Yesterday Mark and I went to our 36 week doctor appointment. Everything is going the way it should. My cervix is soft, but I'm not dilated. Doctor said everything is right on target and that things can start progressing. We are so excited. The doctor is predicting that he will be about 7 lbs. I think he will be closer to 8 lbs. Do not ask me why, but I just think that. People at work think I will deliver around St. Patty's Day. I think I will deliver on 3/28 and Mark's parents informed us that March 21st is a full moon. The only person who knows for sure when he will arrive is Baby Lawson himself :).

We can't wait for little Lawson to arrive. We have the nursery done, the bag is packed, the care seat is in the car. We have notes written out to make sure we put food out for the cats and a note to my friend Katie who will be cat sitting. We are ready and waiting.

By the way we still do not have a name picked. We have the first name picked and we are not telling anyone. Its the middle name that Mark and I can decide. He doesn't like my suggestion, but he doesn't have a suggestion at all. Baby Lawson may only have a first and last name. Hope we do not upset the grandparents.

That's about all that's going on with us.
