False alarm

So tonight we had our first false alarm. We got ready because we had nothing packed. It only took us about thirty minutes, but I felt like Ryan was going so slow and I just wanted to get there and figure out what was wrong with me. He kept telling me to calm down that he didn't want to leave anything in case I really was going into labor. He was like your not having contractions. I was like no and if I was I would probably have killed you by now. haha. On the way there he decided to stop at Taco Bell I was slightly annoyed because I was feeling antsy. I wanted to know if I was going into labor or not and if this was the day I was going to get to hold my little baby boy in my arms. Well it turned out to be a false alarm. She checked me and I am 1 cm dialted but she said that I could stay that way for a long time that it was not really a big deal. She also checked and I guess felt his head and said that it was still a little high. However, when they hooked me up to the machine I was having mild contractions. They monitored me for a while and said the baby looked great but my contractions weren't strong enough to keep me there. So I got discharged. Dang it. I wanted my son to be born. I wanted to hold him in my arms, but tonight just was not the night. He decided to be stubborn. Or who knows a couple hours from now I could dialate more and my water could break and I could start having strong contractions. It's all up to God and Kale. When we got to the emergency room I got wheel chaired around. I felt kind of stupid because I was perfectly fine and could walk and all the people in the emergency room were telling me congratulations and stuff. It was kind of funny. Well at least now I know what to expect when I actually do go in there for true labor.

It's so close

So, I am so almost about to be a mom. I only have 31 days left until Kale's due date. I can't believe that it is a month. I know that he is going to come early. I thought he was going to come last night Iwas having two to three contractions an hour but they weren't increasing in intensity and they were in my lower abdomen and not all over which is signs of false labor. But I thought he was going to come. Ryan's mom and my mom say that since I am already having the contractions that they think he is going to come early. Ryan's mom might miss Kale's birth. She booked her plane tickets for March 7th. I was telling Ryan though, that it would really suck if Kale didn't end up coming early and actually came late and his mom came down here and I never went into labor. I know it is hard for her to plan though because she has to get plane tickets and put in at work and everything. She is sad that she might miss his birth. But we told her we will video tape, what we can that is.
So I went walking today and wow when you are pregnant you are so out of shape. Ryan, me and Lou probably walked about a mile and a half and I thought I was about to die. I mean I didn't think I was going to make it back to the house I was all out of breath and really wanted ryan to carry me back. Ryan was laughing and thought it was just hilarious that I was out of breath. But I didn't think it was funny AT ALL. However, I know that walking is supposed to help and it could make him come early or at least on time. I was talking to Tina, one of Ryan's friends wifes last night and she said it really does help to power walk. She did and both of her kids came early. But I do know that everyone is different and Kale will come on his own time. We will just have to see what happens. I am just getting so excited and I want to meet him and hold him in my arms. I am just ready to be a mommy!!

Getting so excited and anxious!

I haven't written in a couple days. I had my shower last weekend and it was wonderful!!! Sooo many people came and I got so many really nice gifts. I swear our whole den was covered in presents! Ryan and I almost didn't have enough room in his truck to bring them all back, but luckily we found a way. Since we got back on Sunday I have been putting everything away it took two whole days but yesterday evening I finally finished. His nursery looks so precious! He already has so many toys and everything. I do have to say we are going to have one spoiled little boy but thats ok!
Lee finally moved out!! Which was a blessing from God. So, since he has left I have been trying to get the house really clean! We are going to put my bed in his room so that our family will have a bed to sleep in when they come when the baby is born. I am curious to see how it is going to go with both grandmas here at the same time. Because I know my mom is a freak and loves babies and is not going to want to share her time with him what so ever and I am sure it will be the same for his mom. And I know that I am probably not going to want to share him AT ALL AT FIRST! Actually I know I am not going to want to AT ALL!
I am still having braxton hicks...It's so weird because I freak out and start to pay close attention because if I have more than four contractions in an hour I am supposed to go to the hospital. That hasn't happened yet! I can't wait for him to get here if he wanted to come tonight I would be so happy! I hope that he isn't stubborn and does not try to stay in me way over the due date. I really don't want to have to be induced. I have heard such horror stories about it. But then my mom was induced with every single one of us, and she didn't say it was bad. Also, my sister was induced with Jayden and her birth was easy and quick. So, I guess we will just see what happens. I guess a plus of being induced would be that everyone could plan and make it here for the birth. But I am still hoping that he comes naturally on his own time and early! When I start going to the doctor every week I am going to start power walking to speed along the process, so probably in about two more weeks.

I can't wait to be a mom!

Last night Ryan and I went to bed at eight thirty...haha :) we were such old people. But the night before last had been pretty interesting with having to deal with our piece of crap LAZY no good room mate. I couldn't get comfortable while they were arguing and I think it was the fact that I really can't sleep without Ryan being in the bed with me. So we finally didn't lay down together until 3:45 a.m. and then we talked and I started to get braxton hicks, except these didn't feel good they were very crampy. I really thought that I was going to have to go to the emergency room and cancel my baby shower because this baby was going to come early, but they finally stopped. So I didn't fall asleep until 4-ish and I got up at 8 to start getting ready for my doctors appointment. So yesterday I was good for nothing. I was absolutely exhausted so Ryan and I went to bed that early and slept through the night. I feel great today!! I got so much done. I got up around eight and did two loads of laundry, I cleaned the kitchen and swept and mopped the floor, I dusted the living room, went and picked up my prescription and then went and had my eyebrows waxed. So I feel great like I accomplished alot. So Ryan and I leave tomorrow for Atlanta for my baby shower I am so excited so far 22 people have RSVP. It's going to be huge and I am going to get to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a REALLY LONG TIME!

Today was beautiful!

Today was beautiful outside!!! Ryan and I woke up this morning around 11. I have been expierencing some insomnia I think. Well Ryan is working swing shift which is from 3- 12 a.m. and I tend to wait for him to get home before I go to bed. Well once he gets home I start trying to get comfortable to fall asleep and it normally takes about an hour or so. So I don't get into bed as early as I would like so I have been sleeping in later. I got up this morning and was heading to the back door to let Lou out when I saw that our carpet had been almost completely pulled up I freaked and ran into the room and got Ryan out of bed. Ryan came and looked at it and was very annoyed. We also found that our cat, hippie had left us a little present on our rug. His litter box was too full and I can't change it and Ryan has not lately so he decided to pay us back by pooping on our rug. I was so angry. I wanted to throw him outside. I was soooo upset at him. I have not paid him any attention all day. Well after that incident I got scorned by Ryan who told me that he wished I wouldn't have woken up him for that because he was sleeping good. I mean I thought he would want to know that the carpet was messed up. I mean I know I freaked out. He has been stressed out lately and has been kind of grumpy and I have been going through the whole third trimester hormones where I cry at the drop of a hat so we have been expieriencing all that fun stuff. Anyway, after getting scorned I let him go back to sleep and I went into the living room and started making muffins and watching 90210 re-runs. Well he woke up and called about his truck and it was ready so we went to pick that up from Langdale. I walked outside and the weather was amazing. I drove with the windows down. Today was one of those days that I wished I had a convertible. Ryan and I talked about buying me a new car today. :) That was very exciting!! He said he wanted to wait till after the baby was born but we started talking about what kind of car I might want. I think I want a Ford Escape. :) But I am in no hurry to get one. I know ryan wants to get me one and we will get me one when it fits into our budget. We just want to see how it is going to be with the baby.

Ivy came over today and we chatted it up, which was nice we sat on the porch because I so badly wanted to be outside. Ivy and Andy are going to rent the house when Ryan and I move to Arizona which will be nice. Because we don't really want to sell the house right now with the market being so crappy but we don't want to have to worry about paying two mortgages when we are out in Arizona.

Tomorrow is my 34 week check up. I am so excited!!

I am very sleepy today. I got up at 7 this morning to take Ryan to Langdale Ford to drop off his truck for some work. We went and ate breakfast after which was nice. We came back to the house and I tried to lay down for a quick nap but someone called him to come look at the tiller and once I was woke up from him talking to the man I couldn't go back to sleep. He sold the tiller which is really good! One less thing for us to do before we have to move, and he got what he wanted for it which is really good!!

I can't wait for this weekend. I am so ready to go home and see my family! I am starting to get sad about moving to Arizona. I ave always been so close to my family and the fact that I am going to be so far away from them and not see them like I do now just makes me really sad. I really hope that my mom and dad are able to visit us a little bit in Arizona!!

Well I think ryan is getting sick. I took him dinner at work and I was feeling kind of nauseated and he said he was not feeling too good either. I was hoping that he was not going to catch my cold. I have been sick for almost a week now and he has not sniffled once, but I guess maybe his body finally broke down and he got it. I hope not, Ryan is super grumpy when he is sick or tired or anything like that and with my emotions being every where he really can hurt my feelings sometimes.

I miss working. It hit me today. I really do. I can't wait to get to Arizona and find a job. Or I am sure once the baby gets here I will never want to leave him but right now I hate not having a job. I hate not having my own money. I have had my own money since I was 15 years old and worked at confetti creamery, It is weird now to have to depend on someone else for money. I just really don't like it!

Ending the Weekend

This weekend has been blah in Valdosta. Very rainy!!! Yesterday, Ryan and I went to his hunting lease to take down his tree stand. He was laughing at me and told me to quit prissing around. I was not prissing but there were a lot of thorns and burs and they kept getting attached to my pants and then I was dragging the plant behind me and had to unhook it. I was glad we got out of the house though. In a way I wish I had not had to quit work so soon. I mean it has been good because I did hate that place and it was really hard to stand on my feet for so long. My feet so would not make it now! So for that reason I am glad that I am no longer working but it sure does get boring at home. After the house is all cleaned up there is really nothing to do. BUT I do enjoy getting to watch all my shows...Today I woke up and cleaned house. After that I just lounged with Ryan for a while. We watched Australia...it was such an amazing movie!!! I loved it!! Ryan is working on the kitchen right now, finishing up the tile and I am watching lifetime.

I can't wait for next weekend, I am getting so anxious. One, I am going to get to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in a long time like my aunt kathy, mandy, rebecca, reba and nicole!!! I am so excited...I really can't wait. I just wish my mom wouldn't stress out so much about the house and everything and just relax our house ALWAYS looks amazing!
