So here's the deal...

I know many of you are very curious about what's going on...."it's the 22nd....shouldn't there be a baby??"  Well...yes, but no.  lol.  The original plan was that I would be induced today - but that plan was with my original OB/GYN, who is out on an extended maternity leave.  So the doctor I have been seeing has had to alter the plan.  First of all, Baby Girl and I are fine.  Both healthy, as far as we can tell.  :)  But I have the possibility of some complications so to avoid those, we have scheduled a c-section for Monday afternoon.  It will be on Monday because that is the day that my current dr does surgery at the hospital and because the hospital has a rule that if there is no medical emergency, then the baby can't be taken until 39 weeks.  :)  Now, that doesn't mean that baby girl won't decide to come on her own...and that if she does that I can't deliver naturally, it just means for now, we are planning to avoid possible complications.  :)  So there ya go.  Monday is the day....we think. 

It's kind of funny, because now that we have this "definite" date and time, Matthew and I have a to-do list that is a mile long.  If she had come a week ago, we were like "eh, whatever" but not anymore.  We have plans to rearrange furniture, we have two grocery lists, I am frantically trying to keep up with the laundry because I know that I won't be able to make the trek downstairs for a while.....it's crazy!  (Speaking of crazy, if you know me, you know I am OCD and have done my own laundry since I was 8....the thought of anyone else doing it just about pushes me over the edge.  lol)  I have made an appointment to get Samson into the groomer as well.  I am not sure if we will get all of it (or any of it!) done before Monday, but we intend to try!!  As part of my "nesting" I have made friends with my sewing machine.  I am taking baby steps in this relationship and thought I would start with something easy. You can see my beginning work below.  It isn't fabulous, but it's a start!   (you will also see a pic of Matthew and his dad putting together the pack and play....if only there were sound effects...) 

I am officially uncomfortable and ready for baby girl to get here.  I haven't been sleeping well (some nights, not at all) and I hurt.  I know I can't complain because this pregnancy really has been pretty easy, but I am ready for her to be out.  I don't feel like my muscles (don't laugh) can hold her up much longer.  Come on Monday! 

5 more days and you learn her name.....

39 Weeks...or 5 days to go!

My simple sewing adventure! - Bibs!

How hard can putting together a pack n play be?

11 Weeks!

Image
Today starts week 11 and sadly that means I am 1/4 of the way through this pregnancy.  How can that be already?  Baby is the size of a lime this week and apparently is growing fingers and toes!  It is starting to wiggle around in there and today I was able to feel a little of its movements...earlier than either of my other babies.  This week has been a little better in the glucose department, numbers are a little more consistent and I am finding a new stride with the insulin.  Hopefully we maintain this through the rest of pregnancy, but I won't hold my breath.  Baby has wanted Fazoli's breadsticks and Christmas tree cakes, neither of which are good for diabetic mama....but both are OH SO tasty!  hahaha.  I am officially down 20 pounds!  Hopefully I can keep it off once baby arrives.  Will. Power. Tomorrow I have a trifecta of appointments, starting with an ultrasound, meeting with the MFM dr, nutritionist, and my regular OB.  I...

Round 3!

Image
If you are choosing to follow me here again (or for the first time) during this pregnancy, thank you.  I found that I love going back and reading past entries about my other pregnancies and think "oh yeah!  There is a reason I blocked that out!"  haha.  I was debating on whether or not to keep this going through this pregnancy but I think I would be terribly disappointed later on if I choose not to, so here I go.  Yesterday I hit  9 weeks with baby number three.  I am officially (unofficially?) due July 4th, with the understanding that since this will definitely be a CSection I will deliver most likely near the end of June.  Firecracker (my pet name for this one) is the size of a grape (ish).  I was able to hear a good strong heartbeat at my last dr. appointment and all seems to be going well with baby.  So far I haven't had any nausea (hallelujah!) and have only thrown up a couple of times while trying to brush my teeth.  I am ...

Holy Week

Image
This week is Holy Week in the life of the church.  I love Holy Week and the somber reflection that comes with this week. Baby Kimmons has had an interesting week with all of the church services. I had the privilege of rehearsing and playing with the Baptist church for Good Friday, to which the baby was highly responsive. I hope that it is a musical child. It seemed to like the music and was dancing or something in there! We also had a Maundy Thursday service to which Baby K seemed to love all the singing as well.      Obviously, this has been a very busy week and I am exhausted.  The tired feeling has definitely not gone away, in fact, it may be even more intense.  I have been super achy this week as things seem to be growing and shifting even more. We had a bit of a scare yesterday, but after being all checked out, everything seems to be fine. Thank goodness!  ( Sorry for any of you that I scared while at work!)     I am having a few ...
