Yeeess!! It's finally February! I feel like I've been waiting for-e-ver for this month to come! Finally we'll have a baby this month! Well..I guess unless Collin decides to be late :( I haven't updated since our last appointment last Wednesday. I've been so busy with school stuff trying to get everything ready for when the long-term sub comes in to take over.
I'll start off with what happened at our appointment today. I was so hoping to go in and she tell me I was dilated even more...but unfortunately she didn't even check me!! Ugh!! I'm so disappointed. She said there's no point because it just causes unnecessary bleeding and its really uncomfortable....definitely true! Plus I guess it would have been even more disappointing if she had said I hadn't progressed at all since last week. So... I'll just keep telling myself that I made huge progress in one week and the baby is so close to coming.
I asked her how I know if the baby had "dropped" and she said he DEFINITELY had because he is like waaayy down in my pelvis already. She is so nonchalant though...whatever "waay down there" means... I guess that's a good sign that it's coming soon enough. Although I'm pretty convinced it's never gonna happen and I'm just gonna be 30 lbs overweight and uncomfortable forever.
The rest of the appointment was pretty pointless. They were supposed to have the results to my Strep B test but the lab was still working on it so they said I'll get those next week.
As for this weekend.... all of my close friends from back home came up to stay with me this weekend for a "girls/baby shower weekend." It was so great to catch up and see them all. On Friday when I got out of school I came home and waited for Stephanie to come in. Then we headed down to the galleria to meet up with Sul and Bigz to look at wedding dresses for Sul!! So exciting!! Then we met up with Gabs and Taryn and went to dinner. After dinner Steph and I came home and they went to pick up Zina from the airport who flew in from D.C.! I have such great friends!! They all went out that night and stayed at Gabs's place. I was so tired.. I was asleep by 10pm.
On Saturday the girls were all over at my house by 4 or so. They kicked me into my bedroom and said they needed to decorate...haha.. I took a quick nap and when I came out they had streamers all over the living room and had set up a cute table set-up with food and another for presents. The theme was little duckies. It was soo cute! We all hung out for awhile and then got dressed for dinner. We went to a place called Arcodoros down by the galleria. It was "Sardinian Italian Cuisine." So many things on the menu looked really good...but it was mostly seafood so I had to be careful with what to order since I'm not allowed to eat much seafood and I had already eaten some shrimp the night before. After dinner we came back to the house and opened all the wonderful gifts the girls gave us. Ohhh...but first.. they had a goodie bag for each of us to open so we all opened them at once and they were all cute tank tops! Mine said "mom to be" on the front and said "collin brody" on the back. Then I looked up and saw all of theirs said "Aunt to Be" and had his name on the back like mine... HOW CUUUTTEE IS THAT!??!! I thought they were adorable! We all put them on (I had to wear a shirt under because Collin wanted to stick out the bottom of the shirt a little bit....haha) We got a tone of cute clothes from everyone and Taryn actually took the time to make Collin a baby scrapbook of pictures of me. The first page says "Collin, I want you to know a little bit about your mom" It was filled with pictures of us and it had cute little sayings. It ALMOST made me cry! It was so sweet! But we all know it takes a lot for me to cry.. haha.. After all of the gifts we had probably the most delicious tres leches cake I've ever tasted! It was totally worth the extra pound I gained this week :~/
After that we sat around and talked some more and then put on a movie, but we all started falling asleep. It was pretty low key, but so nice to catch up and see all of the girls again. We really need to do that more often. But it's so great knowing that anytime there is something big going on each other's lives we are always there no matter what...
Ok...well I probably won't have too much to post again until my next appointment next week (unless of course I go into labor!!!) Here's to wishing and hoping....
Here are some pictures of the Girls weekend!
