3 Days Left!



These pictures were taken at 38 weeks.
We are now 3 days away from Beanie's due date... September 3. As of Friday I am still dilated at 1 cm however, I was 90% effaced/thinned out. If she doesn't come by Friday we have an appointment wherein we will schedule an induction appointment for the following week.
I have developed a rash on my lower abdomen called PUPPS (Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy) Rash. Unfortunately, this is one of those beautiful things that can occur during pregnancy and the only remedy aside from lathering Cortisone on my belly is... Labor and Delivery.
Aside from wanting to stay in bed and itch my belly all day, I have been feeling great. No real discomfort outside of what I have already been feeling. I have been walking to move things forward however, that doesn't seem to be doing anything except make my feet hurt. I keep thinking I will wake up and feel like today is the day, but I wake up and feel completely normal.
Everything is ready and awaiting beanies arrival. I have officially run out of things to do in preparation and find myself re-cleaning the house and my pets. My office threw me an awesome shower this previous week. We got so many cute outfits, baby toys, dohickies, and of course, some practical things too. I will apologize in advance right now if in the next week you ask me if I am still pregnant and I snap at you. I am starting to get impatient and would like to reassure everyone that we will call when we have the baby.
Hopefull my next post will have pictures of the beanie and will include our great tale of labor and the delivery.... Adios for now!
