Many of my maternity clothes...

...have paint on them. (Don't worry mamafriends, I am not referring to any clothes from the community stash!)

It occurred to me today that many of the clothes that I have in my maternity stash have paint splatters on them. I guess that is because the only time I get the "bug" to decorate is when I am 8+ months pregnant. The orange shirt I currently don has paint on it from both Abby and Nathan's painted ceiling projects and yesterday I added to my maternity wardrobe some paint stained pants. Oh! and because I'm all about stuff coordinating lately, I went ahead and spilled some more paint ON OUR NEW AREA RUG AND ONE OF THE DINING ROOM CHAIRS!

I decided yesterday to paint the lamps in the living room black instead of the green that did not match anything I own. The lamps turned out lovely (except for the fact that I have bought and returned 3 lampshades for one of them and still don't have one that I like!) but in my pregnant clumsy state I SPILLED BLACK PAINT ON THE RUG AND CHAIR!!!

I scrubbed and scrubbed the rug and luckily it's a funky green shag and you can't *really* tell but the chair was un-salvageable. I will say that I have contemplated recovering them since I got them about 3 years ago but the avocado green has kind of grown on me. I do have enough fabric leftover from the curtains for 2 chairs so I will recover the 2 that sit against the wall.

Guess that's ONE way to motivate me to get another put-off-for-too-long project finished!

I'll post a pic when I get them recovered!

I *did* get the wall words up (Thanks to some help from my UL friend Amy!) and pictures into frames!

A Psalm For Me

(No, I am not writing my own scriptures, but I am awake in the wee hours of the morning and a bit fretful.)

I was all psyched up to have a baby today! And now instead of holding a baby in my arms this afternoon, I have a few more days to *think* and second guess and, and, and...

What am I worrying about? All the things that could go wrong. I am not by nature the type of person who generally views life that way but instead, I lean more toward trusting that things will be OK. I just have so much on my mind and heart and I am starting to feel overwhelmed by the "what ifs." It occurred to me to write down the comforting truths that are written on the tablet of my heart so that in the times when they're hard to remember, I can see them here in black and white.

The very one who holds the universe together, has my name engraved upon his hands and has promised he will never forget me. He never sleeps - He watches over me and will keep me from harm. Nothing comes into my life that does not first pass through His hand. He works everything out for my good and His Glory. He created the life inside me and cares deeply for it. He has taken great care to knit it together inside of me and created this child in His image. Our family has entered into a covenant with the God of creation. Our marriage and our family is a sacred relationship instituted and ordained by Him and he cares intimately about all of us - even those still in the womb - even those whom he has not yet begun to form. All the pages of my life's book are written. There is not one event in my life that the God of eternity has not already seen me through and ordained and planned as part of my story. There is nothing that will ever occur in my life that will take Him by surprise. There is nothing that He has not already made provision for and walked through with me. He wants me to tell Him when I am fearful or anxious and cast all my cares on Him because He cares for me. He provides for all of my needs. Not only "provides" for them, but does so abundantly. In Christ, I have everything I need for life and Godliness. I can trust in Him to give me strength and I can do ALL things through Him who gives me that strength. The same power that raised Christ from the grave LIVES IN ME. I am to "dwell" not on the things that *could* happen or go wrong. I am instead to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, or praiseworthy. He cares for the flowers of the field and the birds of the air. HOW MUCH MORE does He care for me and this child he has created? He lavishes His love upon me - not because I deserve or have earned it. If I were to be given what I have earned, I would be empty, desolate, hopeless. Yet, He fills my life with GOOD things - not because I am good but because His love for me is so great. His goodness and mercy pursue me. I. AM. HIS.

And a direct quote from the lover of my soul: 'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'


Now... What exactly was it that I was worrying about again??

So, um, yeah...

Sunday in church the pastor shared the quote, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." Wellp, God is laughing right about now!!!

Today was supposed to be my LAST visit to the doc office before the baby arrived. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That's right - The April 30th date has been scrapped due to me being coughy, sneezy & stuffy headed. We don't want me trying to recover in that condition (coughing and blowing my nose with an incision! Yeeouch!) and we CERTAINLY don't want the baby getting a virus the minute he/she pops out, now do we?

So, Doctor M rescheduled for Saturday at 8 a.m. (Does that work for y'all? :smile)

So, Saturday May 3rd!!! (Unless I go into labor. Ha! A Girl can dream.)

Positive Reframing: That gives me a few more days to mark more things off the to-do list!

The plan for Wednesday:

I think I may go get a massage that morning. Woot!

We're scheduled for 1:30 and have to be at the hospital at 11:30.

Nancy will come here and stay with the kids and we'll leave around 11. (We need to go ahead and install A's carseat into her car that morning!)

Pending no complications, Nancy will stay here until around dinnertime and Bruce will come home that night and get the kids to bed and spend the night home with them, mom will stay in the hospital with me. (We'll go ahead and send the kids' things with Nancy when she leaves that evening).

Bruce will bring the kids to the hospital on Thursday morning to meet the baby! :o) And Buddy and Nancy will meet us there, too, and then the kids will go back to their house with them. (And much to Bruce's horror, they will most likely over the next 3 days, consume massive amounts of McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A. HA!)

We'll probably get D/C'ed on Saturday. A and N will stay with nana and grandbud on Saturday night and come home on Sunday.

So that's the plan as of now. Of course, nothing is set in stone and anything can change but it helps me to get me thoughts together in one place!

Another To Do List

Rearrange room to add changing table & rocker
change lightbulbs in Abby's room
put ladder away
pack abby and nathan's suitcase and make list for nancy
pack mine and bruce's bag
make arrangements for cleaning lady to come (grin)
have bruce move the packard (again!) so I can get to the spackle, paint and staplegun
recover 2 DR chairs

Tick, tock, Tick, tock.

"So..... When's that baby gonna get here???"

Just so y'all know, I am still sick! Coughing and blowing my nose a ton which makes me wonder how on earth that will be feasible after my midsection is severed in half and sewn back together? And what about my lowered immune system and surgery? Is that a good idea??

I'll be seeing Dr. M on Monday and will be discussing these issues with him but I suppose this means there is a possibility of an actual 40 weeker after all? Who knows!

My attempt at a self portrait

(of the belly)...

A CONTEST: The baby chick says.... Guess the gender and weight!

CONGRATS TO OUR WINNER: FIONA!!!!


EDITED: Due to the reschedule of the C-Section (moved from Wednesday 4/30 to Saturday 5/3) , Dates will not be counted in the awarding of the winning prediction!

OK peeps - time to start guessing how big this little baby chick is and if it will be a gordita or a gordito.

I have 5 more days 'till the scheduled C (and today I am actually kicking around the idea of asking Dr. M on Monday if we can try induction first. You know I am his favorite patient, don't you just know it?! Did I mention he asked me last week if I'd like him to go ahead and tie my tubes? Do you think maybe he's trying to avoid having me as a pregnant patient again?)

So anyway - I thought it would be fun to have a little contest!

As some of you know, my lovely friend Carrie owns a very hip T-Shirt Company and she sells T-Shirts and Onesies for babies and toddlers featuring sweet and sassy little baby chicks inspired by the Spanish Lullaby "Los Pollitos Dicen."

Abby and Nathan have both done some modeling for Los Pollitos (see the above "commercial" on youtube!) so I thought "what better prize to give away for whomever guesses the gender / weight / arrival time correctly!"

So here's your chance - In the comments section, start your predictions!

Rules:

Guess the following things:

GENDER
WEIGHT
ARRIVAL DAY*

(*The date is just for grins... I'm putting this in there in hopes that lots of folks guess a date prior to Wednesday! Maybe reading all those predictions will send my brain some kind of signal that will send me into labor!)

PS - If you are someone I don't know just by first name and you don't have a blogger profile - be sure to give me some contact info for you in case you are the winner!!!

To aid you in your guesses, THIS POST has some pictures of my previous pregnant belly and a couple of current belly pictures for comparison. And my previous 2 babies weighed 9.7 and 9.9 but both of them were WEEKS late. This one will be a week EARLY. Also another hint: During my biophysical profile today, the weight was estimated to be quite a bit lower than those 2 previous pregnancies!

Happy guessing and good luck!

Whoever comes the closest (Without going OVER as far as weight is concerned) will win an item of their choice from the Los Pollitos Dicen Store! (And if you don't have a child to give one of these to, they make fabulous baby gifts!)

And BY THE WAY! If you can't possibly wait a few more days to try and win one of these so very cute items, Carrie and lots of my other mamafriends will be selling their wares tomorrow in Franklin at the Mamamade Spring Market!

I just had a real live contraction!!!

A real one! Like, I had to stop and do my Lamaze breathing and everything!

I haven't had another one since, though. Boo. But we can hope, right? (I have NEVER had a non-pitocin-induced contraction, FWIW.)

The doc I was supposed to see today was in a delivery after my BPP (all is fine!) so I opted to just leave and made an appt to see Macey on Monday so I didn't get checked to see if I was dilated any. Now I wish I would have stayed just to see!

The only downside in maybe having real contractions (well... aside from the *ouch* factor) is that the doc on call this weekend is one I am not really fond of.

It's probably nothing but who knows....

S-I-X!

Six days, people! Count 'em! SIX! YIKES!

This allergy / sinus thing I have got going on had me up all night last night. And Nathan seems to have it now, too.

On the positive side, just a few things left on the to do list! Several of them involve moving one of the Packards out of the garage and the battery seems to be, um, dead so no bed for baby *or* carseat until Bruce can get that taken care of! (Anyone got a baby bucket we can borrow???)

EDITED: My friend who was using my bassinet is done with it and Bruce got the cars out tonight and so we now have a baby bed and baby carseat so we're ready to roll! (Thanks for the offer though, Rachel!)

This can't be good.

Guess what? I am sick! Sore throat, headache, stuffy head, cough, losing my voice, a bit ache-y. Oh, and I'm pretty sure one of my ribs is dislocated. (That happened with Nathan, too. I guess when you're not even 5 feet tall and you make 10 pound babies, there's not much room for stuff to go!)

If you could spare a prayer - please pray for a speedy recovery. Sickness and nesting don't seem very compatible - not to mention sickness and delivering a baby!!!

Some major things crossed off the list!

Grammie came over today to help me in my nesting insanity.

Let me tell you, She ain't called "Super Annie" for nothing!

She *just* left the house. She made me new curtains and throw pillows for the living room and we finished up some curtains for the dining room (I have been in this house for 5 years and I *just now* have window treatments!) And of course she did all this while at the same time entertaining and interacting with her grandbabies. Abby handed her pins while she sewed and she took time out to peek at Nathan every time he yelled, "Gabby, WATCH!"

I can't wait till the baby gets here - We'll have her with us for a while!!!!

AND!! Look at this portrait that she is painting for a friend! (Oh, If I had 1 ounce of her talent...... I mean we have some of the same DNA, you'd think I'd get some of the good stuff!)

*** Thanks to Bruce, too for putting off some of the things he wanted to do today and hanging the curtain rods for us!

If the baby came now, I think we'd be OK. (I mean, now that we have curtains and everything!!!)

These 2 sweethearts are going to make the best big sister / big brother combo evah!!!

Well... I put up the to-do list there in the right hand sidebar

And yes, I am a bit overwhelmed. You might have guessed this much had you seen me lying face down (well... as face down as a pregnant woman can get) in the laundry room (of all places!) bawling my eyes out at around 1:30 today from sheer exhaustion and frustration with my two obnoxiously whiney and uncooperative children. (Did I just write that? Yes. I love them with every fiber of my being but today they were indeed certifiably OBNOXIOUS!)

The list of course does not include any of the day to day stuff (laundry, cooking, wiping rear ends and noses, bedtimes, etc.) nor does it include work obligations.

Do you think maybe all this stuff will send me into labor?? That would be the bright side to this insanity that they call "nesting", eh?

And hey! At least this go 'round, the "to-do-before-baby-arrives-list" did not involve scaffolding!

(Don't y'all love how I make my mama do all the hard work? Guess Abby gets it honest! :o)

37 Weeks: Belly Picture

Any guesses? Girl? Boy? Weight? (Not mine :lol) Although I LOST 2 pounds this week and I am 20 pounds lighter than when I delivered the last 2! (I did make it to almost 42 weeks with them, though - This is only week 37!)

Non Stress test today: all is fine.

Lots of movement and AGAIN with the hiccups!

Wanna hear? Or.... here it is on youtube

Here's another belly shot for you - from THIS pregnancy:


To help you in your gender guessing - Here are some belly shots from when I was pregnant w/ Nathan:

Here's one from my pregnancy w/ Abby:



















So... what do y'all think? Andrew or Sarah???

Another! Non-stress test

Finally Dr. M consented to leting me go A WHOLE WEEK before coming again so no BPP until next Friday and then that should be THE LAST ONE!

All looks good, sugars are better, baby is moving lots, is head down, I'm having periodic contractions. We're still holding out a flicker of hope that I'll go into labor but otherwise, APRIL 30th!

15 days! It's official!

So I got a call from someone in Dr. Macey's office today.

"This is just a call to let you know that we have your C-Section scheduled for Wednesday April the 30th at 1:30 pm. Please arrive 2 hours prior to that time."

How weird is that? KNOWING what time I will be having this baby? It's just plain WEIRD. (And a bit exciting!) And how awesome is it that I don't have to be there at, like, 4 am!

{Another} Ultrasound!

Had my *weekly* biophysical profile yesterday. (I am SO thankful I signed up for the short term disability through work this time around! All that "extra" money is gonna come in handy after all these tests!)

Baby is doing GREAT! It had the hiccups something fierce and I could actually FEEL it breathing today! It felt like a dog panting. When I went into the ultrasound room, I asked the tech (Lena - we're on a first name basis, you know, because she does ultrasounds on me EVERY WEEK!) about it because I was kind of worried with what I was feeling - It had been happening the whole time in the waiting room. She said, "No - that's actually a GOOD thing!" I don't recall feeling that with Abby or Nathan.

Strong heartbeat today, too!

No weight estimate, though. She said estimating it weekly can lend to more error than accuracy because it's always "within a pound" and so estimating every week is not something that they do. But lots of movement and activity, which is exactly what they were looking for!

I never actually got to see Dr. Macey. I waited for an hour before realizing that he was running HOURS behind (several women were going to the receptionist and asking about his schedule and when I discovered that they had arrived hours BEFORE me, I decided to just ask if I could return on Friday for my *weekly* non-stress test. I was given the OK by the nurse to leave, good patient that I am.)

Dr. Macey called me later that afternoon to review the BPP with me and said that all was fine and we discussed a date for the C-Section. He said he would check the schedule for the 30th.

So maybe by Friday, we'll have a DATE!

Birth Stories

I've been thinking a lot lately about my 2 previous pregnancy and birth experiences with Abby and Nathan. This one is so different in lots of ways. First of all, not knowing the gender has given this pregnancy a totally different dynamic. I am excited about not knowing and being surprised but I don't feel as "connected" in some ways because I've not really been able to visualize this child like I did with Abby and Nathan. (Of course, I had NO IDEA what their personalities would be like, so knowing the gender and having a name to call them by didn't do too much for me to *really* connect with them, I don't suppose.)

Also, KNOWING that I will have this baby the last week in April or before is a totally different thing, too. There's not the waiting, the anticipating, the negotiating with the baby in utero, the FREAKING OUT AND BEGGING GOD TO JUST MAKE MY LABOR START, (the humor), no wondering what the labor process will be like, etc. Instead, I will be scheduled, go in, be cut open, sewn up and that will be that. (Please, let it be that simple. Please.) I did know with Nathan that we would have to evict him, but I figured it would be of the chemical sort, not the surgical sort. Part of me is sad about having another C-Section (yes, I know some folks think it's totally weird that I *want* to go into labor and try to have this baby naturally) but I know that with my history and with what we have been dealing with as far as the gestational diabetes, it's the right thing to do. If I DID go into labor on my own, I would have to be hooked up to all kinds of monitors, have insulin the whole time, and that's just not how I would want things to be. (I'd like to labor at home as long as I could and then go in but that's never been an option for me and I don't guess I will ever get to experience that.) I'm resigned to the fact that a C-Section is the best {safest} way to go and I have a resolute peace about it.


By the way, there's nothing "graphic", of course, in the video or pictures - just lots of photos of their first few moments.

Abby's arrival VIDEO



Nathan 5.11.06 and more (with pics!) HERE



By the way - I've always thought, in looking at those 2 pictures, that they perfectly sum up the relationship I have with each one.

Photo #1 - I am exhausted, Abby is screaming. Yup, that's about right.

Photo #2 - I am peaceful and so is he. Yup, that's my boy.

(Despite what one might think, I do not value my relationship with one over the other - It's just a perfect illustration of how different God made them. And I wouldn't have them any other way.)

The "Non-Stress" test

*** Click on the image to see some video of today's test. All the little thumps you'll hear in the background are the baby HICCUPING! The loudest hiccups ever!

So I had *another* doc appointment today. (Can you tell that all these "non-stress-tests"are STRESSING ME OUT?) Today's results: the baby is FINE. Better than fine. GREAT! And guess what? I have *another* biophysical profile on Monday! And I am sure the results will be FINE!

Some protocol somewhere says that that "if you don't want to get sued in the event that something goes wrong, make pregnant women who have gestational diabetes and are being treated with medication come in twice a week and have tests that will run up their medical bills." So, from here 'till the baby comes, This is what I will be doing on Mondays and Fridays while Nana is here. (I personally think this is the doc's way of trying to wear me down and consent to an even EARLIER C-Section, but who knows.)

Can you tell I'm a tad irked at having to spend all this time at the doc's office? Oh well, better safe than sorry, as they say.

It *is* kind of neat getting to lay still and listen to this baby swim around and to see it on the ultrasound so I guess I'll focus on the positives. :o)

I could literally hear the fluid swishing around in there whenever the baby would move (which happened to be A LOT today!) Be sure to click on the image above to hear it!

See that little ticker over there to the right?

The one with the baby floating around in the little bubble? The one with the NUMBER OF DAYS TO GO UNTIL I HAVE MY C-SECTION?

Can I just tell you? I am starting to FREAK OUT A LITTLE BIT???

We spent yesterday cleaning out my closet - organizing clothes, purging things, rearranging. Bruce got the big storage bins down and we sorted our winter / summer wardrobes and put BAGS of stuff in my car to go to goodwill and to the maternity "stash" that we keep at a friend's house for expectant mamas. So, task one: {the closet} can be checked off the list. (That is, until Abby decides she wants to play dress up in there, then it gets all messed up again and I have to start ALL OVER.) This was the most pressing chore because the baby's bassinet will go in there for a while. (Please don't call Child Protective Services - It's a pretty big closet :smile.) I have a friend who is going to loan me a changing table and a rocking chair for our bedroom. (We're still using the changing table in Nathan's room and I have a big comfy chair in there that we still use for bedtimes with him.)

My bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, work area upstairs and closet upstairs are in serious need of organization. The windows in my dining room look like someone smeared mud on them. Exactly *why* it is that I feel like I can not bring a baby home to a house with dirty windows and unorganized bathroom cabinets, I can't quite say, but all I know is that I NEED TO HAVE THOSE THINGS DONE BEFORE I FEEL OK HAVING THIS BABY! :lol

Also - Baby clothes: I have 3 bags of clothes for a baby boy but, um, I don't know if I am having a baby boy or girl! I need to find some things to take to the hospital. I need to pack MY hospital bag. Ugh, I need a to do list.

I feel like this go 'round I am so unprepared. Probably because I just have so little energy to actually DO things to GET prepared. Lots of people have offered to come over and help me but I've said "no, I'm fine, thanks!" - Be warned, offerers of help, I may start taking you up on it. Or I may just call you begging.

(I guess this is what they call "nesting", huh?)

Yet another doc appointment

First off - Here's a picture of me. In a doctor's office. I should just go camp out on West End, no?

And yes, I know - My belly is HUGE. Believe it or not, I have not gained as much weight as I did in my first 2 pregnancies though - Not yet anyway. Probably due to the lack of sugar cookie dough consumption and only *diet, low sugar* root beer floats, but that's just a guess.

Today - I met a new doctor. I went to see an endocrinologist to discuss the issues I am having regulating my blood sugar and the issues I am having with the medicine that Dr. M. has me on.

So that Bruce could stay with the kids while I was gone and so that I could return home at a relatively decent time and get some work done, I requested the earliest time slot - 8 am - and was asked to arrive early to fill out paperwork, which (miraculously) I did. And guess what? The doctor didn't come in to see me until TEN MINUTES 'TILL NINE. I have to say, I am pretty patient with doctors, I know they're busy, they get behind seeing other folks, some issues are more pressing than mine, etc. but I was her FIRST APPOINTMENT OF THE DAY. Why on earth did it take her so long to come in and see me and WHY did they ask me to arrive early if she was going to wait 50 minutes to come and see me?

So, enough ranting. Oh wait - I forgot to mention, I asked them to call in my prescription (because after all they had kept me so late and now I was going to have to wait at the pharmacy) and they said "SURE!" and of COURSE, when I got to the pharmacy they said, "No, no one has called anything in for you this morning!" I know I don't have M.D. behind my name but who do these people think they are that their time is so much more valuable than mine?

Ok, now really, I'm done ranting.

The doc basically told me to eat the way I've been eating, take only half of the dose of glyburide that I have been taking, and she prescribed a new med for me - its a carbohydrate blocker that does not absorb into the blood stream - it works "at the intestine" and keeps the carbohydrates from.... well... from doing something with insulin and all that jazz.

This is stressing me out.

I want some ice cream. And a coke. And some chocolate cake. And some cookie dough. And... a healthy baby (which precludes me from partaking in all of the above).

*sigh*

Oh well - in the grand scheme of things, this is so minor. Just Monday, I stumbled across THIS BLOG and was quite humbled and convicted about all the fretting I have been doing as of late. This family has been through a tremendous journey and on Monday, they lost their precious baby just 2 hours after birth. Their faith and love for God through it all has been so beautiful. To sum it up, this has been the attitude of this marvelous woman:

"So I pray...
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain.

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Is the Lord God Almighty"

Oh that I would have that kind of faith.

Anyone wanna guess?

...what I was doing when I blogged this photo?

(Answer: I was waiting for the doc to come visit me - This is something that I will be doing a lot of in the days ahead, I suppose. He now wants to start seeing me two times per week AND he wants me to go see an endocrinologist because I am not tolerating the medicine that he gave me to help regulate my blood sugar. Oh! Did I mention that I had a reading of 50 during church yesterday and almost passed out? We don't go to that kind of church! Passing out would NOT have been a good thing! Ah, Fun times!)

The Good News: I did have a biophysical profile today and all was very normal. Good fluid levels, normal range as far as weight gain (for me AND the baby who now weighs an estimated 6.4 pounds). We could see that the baby has quite a bit of hair and heard the very strong heartbeat!

Highs and Lows

So today was, um, well - it was up and down.

When I woke up this morning, my FASTING blood sugar level was 127 - That's high considering I had not eaten since 9pm the night before. So..... I took a glyburide. I had not been taking these because they were making me feel nauseas AND I read somewhere that they "can cause possible fetal harm if you are close to your due date" so I had stopped taking them and was planning to talk with Doc M. on Monday. BUT - due to the fact that my fasting level was so high, I thought it best to go ahead and take one. I ate breakfast - oatmeal, blueberries, eggs, walnuts - and when I took my blood sugar in church (I started feeling a bit faint and thought I should check it) IT WAS 51! Um, that's pretty low.

I walked out of the auditorium and drank a cup of coffee loaded with sugar and a bagel. Needless to say within 1 hour, my sugar was almost 180.

Off and on all day I felt really nauseas and was having what felt like heart palpitations (I realized later that I had scarfed down a cup of regular coffee - something I have not done in MONTHS so I am sure that was the reason for the rapid heartbeat.)

I talked to the doc on call and he basically said "Well, if you don't lose consciousness, you'll probably be fine" (to which I replied, "So you're saying if I am unconscious, to give you a call back?")

I've not really been overly worried about the gestational diabetes thing until this point but am starting to fret somewhat. I know that God is in control and am trusting Him to keep this baby safe and healthy. If you could take some time out of your day to pray for this wee one growing inside me, I'd be much obliged. Thanks!

Abby takes a stab at guessing the gender...

It took 3 pregnancies but this go round I *almost* have an outie belly button!
