We had our doctors appointment today! Before the appointment we had an ultrasounds and they said Collin weighs just over 6 lbs. I'm still measuring for February 25th (2 days early). They said that is in exactly the 50th percentile so he is average. When I asked the doctor how big that means he'll be if he continues at this rate and she said about 7lbs! That's such good news!! At least he's not huge already!! I was afraid Collin was going to be like 11 lbs or something absurd!
The doctor did my group b strep test and then checked my cervix to see if I was dilated at all. I'm happy to report I'm 1 cm. I've been reading some people are like 39 weeks and still 0 cm. At least I know I'm making SOME progress. I know you can stay 1-2 cm for quite awhile, but at least I know I'm getting closer. Sooo...everything seems to be going good! We'll have our next appointment next Wednesday and see if there is any more progress...

Ok so I'm writing a day late...
Sunday was "nesting day" I guess. We woke up and decided to go run a bunch of errands that we needed to get done. We started off by going to Babys R Us to return a few things we had gotten doubles of. We thought it would be the smart thing to go to the one further away from us because it was the area we needed to go to anyway to go to Costco. Trouble was...we got there and apparently even though they have a Babys R Us sign they consider themselves a "Babys R Us Express????" They said they could only exchange the stuff they carried there at their store. Well they took back a couple of things so it wasn't a complete waste of time. Then we went to Costco. On our way home I told Pat to go ahead and turn towards the other Babys R Us that is close to us. I figured we might as well get it all done since we were out. So we went and returned the last thing we needed to take back and decided to buy a few different things that we hadnt received. It was a bunch of little stuff like a few different types of bottles, since I keep hearing you have to try a few different ones to see what the baby will actually use. We also got some hygiene/first aid stuff like nail clippers... haha...they are so tiny that they actually have a magnifying glass on them! .... We got a baby thermometer and a couple other things I can't think of right now.
So that was about it for our day out. We got home and I had to grade papers ALL DAY after that. I guess that's about it..
Update on me... I haven't been feeling too great. I feel like I'm lucky if I get more than 4 hours of sleep total in a night. I'm dragging myself around school these days. Only 3 more weeks of school..that doesn't sound too bad...but seems like an eternity!!!! I'm hoping they go fast (or that baby Collin decides to meet us a week or 2 early)!

This weekend was pretty busy! I got a boost of energy to do stuff on Saturday so we got up and took Stoli over to Pat's parents, and then went to the outlet mall. Pat had been talking about going to the St. Arnold's brewery here in Houston with his friends on Saturday afternoon, and he wanted me to go, but one..it's so not fun to go hang out with everyone else getting drunk while you are the only sober one, and two... it is so backwards for a 9 month pregnant person to be seen as a brewery. Is it just me that thinks that???
Ok so we went to the outlets and were there for awhile. Then we came home, and we were talking about taking a nap but as soon as we got here I wasn't tired again so I decided to finally wash all of the baby clothes we had received and put away all of the stuff that's been sitting in our dining room since the baby showers. Then by the time I actually got tired enough to lay down for a nap it was time to get ready to go to Sarah and Eddy's baby shower. We had to leave an hour early because it was way down by Galveston.
I was planning on wearing a dress, which meant I would have to wear open shoes. I realized I really need a pedicure again! Where are you Steph????? Well...I had to attempt it myself, and I was pretty much sweating by the time I was finished from having to find any position possible to first cut my toenails and then repaint them! I wouldn't have repainted them but when I was cutting them the paint started chipping off so I had like 2 toenails on each foot painted and the other 3 weren't...so I HAD to paint them. Let's just say some prenatal yoga would have really paid off.... Good thing I can't really see my feet at this point anyways... in my mind they look pretty good.. but who knows right?? Nobody tell me any different if they notice I have nail polish anywhere on my foot but on my toenails!! ;) Ugh...and then after all that.... I realized it was too cold to wear a dress!! So I ended up wearing boots anyways...
So we went to the baby shower.. it was pretty fun. It was mostly just friends hanging out. They did something cute where they had a bunch of plain white onesies set out with markers and people could make their own onesie for the baby. Our friend Dave was in the creative zone and making all these random onesies. I made one with a monkey on it for them since their theme is monkeys.
The whole night our friend CB had been trying to feel my stomach to see if he could feel the baby kick. He started kicking while we were sitting there so I told CB where to put his hand (of course, by my rib since that is where is kicks the crap out of me!) He was so excited to feel it. Collin has been kicking me soooo hard lately!! It is really starting to hurt!! I think he must be using 2 of my ribs as practice goal posts!! "He's gonna be a socca playa.... he is... he iiiiisssss..." (Billy Madisson)
Well that was all for Saturday... I'll fill you all in on Sunday tomorrow... It's late already, and I need to get to bed!! 4 weeks left!!!

All the pictures I've been promising my readers!!!
This slideshow is a revised one of the baby's nursery. The old pictures are still on there, so just scroll through them to the new ones.
This slideshow is of the baby shower from Kristy and Stacey! I don't have pictures from the other baby shower yet... I'll post those as soon as I can get someone to send me some digital photos :)

1/21/09 (part 2)
We had another doctors appointment this afternoon. We got to hear Collin's heartbeat again. It's so weird knowing it's not your own heartbeat you're listening to, but really neat! They took my weight again (the low point of my day..haha) but I had only gained 1 lb in 2 weeks so that's great!! I always dread stepping on that scale. I know it's baby weight, but it's still unfortunate seeing that scale go up and up and up and up..............
Then the doctor came in an measured my belly, and I forgot to ask what the measurement was but I must still be measuring correctly because she didn't say anything. I told her I had been feeling sick so she prescribed some medicine to help with the nausea. I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm just backwards and getting morning sickness in the 3rd trimester instead of the first. I asked her if I went past my due date how long she would wait to induce and she said only 1 week, so we know for sure Collin will be here by the first week of March. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that!!!!!
We asked her about the pediatrician we picked and she said she's heard great things about her so that's good news. She also felt around my belly, pressing on different parts to feel how the baby is positioned and she said he is head down so that's good news too! No breach baby! She said his head is "waaay" down low already so I'm really hoping that means he is getting ready to come soon!!! (Of course not TOO soon! but in a few weeks) We scheduled an ultrasound for next week so they can estimate the size of the baby, but I may reschedule it for a week later so it's closer to due date time and we have a better idea of what kind of torture I'll be in come delivery day!!!!!! :0/

I'm staying home from school today because I was up not feeling well ALL night long! Ugh... I hope those kids at school didn't give me the stomach bug that's been going around! I only got a couple hours of sleep so I decided to go ahead and take the day off to recover. I'm not feeling great, but much better than I did last night. I really needed the sleep though. So I figured I'd finish writing about the weekend now..
My mom, Patrick and I went woke up and went to The Woodlands early Saturday morning because my mom had never been there and I wanted to go look for a dress to wear to the baby shower that afternoon. We went to Gap Maternity (their clothes fit me the best!) I found a few dresses to try on... luckily they were having a sale too! I ended up getting a really cute dress for only $13!!!! What a deal! Then we looked around a little bit and went to Borders and my mom bought a TON of baby books for Collin! :) They are all so cute! She was specifically looking for "Pat the Bunny" (which she found). I think it used to be one our favorite books when we were little. As we were checking out we saw they also had a bunch of books in the bargain section so I went to look for one, and they had a little box of baby books about little sports characters that I knew Pat would love reading to the baby. I got them and when we got in the car and I opened I saw that one of the characters (the football) was named Collin!! With 2 Ls!! How cute is that?? The book is all about good sportsmanship so I think it will be a keeper!
When we got home my aunt, cousins and grandmother were here at the house waiting to see the nursery. I think everyone likes it!! It's come together really nicely! I hurried and got dressed for the baby shower that started at 1. It was so convenient because it was at my friend Stacey's house who lives literally 4 houses down the street, so we just walked over there. It was put on by my friend Kristy as well. When we got up to the door they had put a big wooden stork outside in the yard!! It was adorable! Then inside they had decorated soo cute! Everything was decorate in brown and baby blue polka dots. Kristy had gotten a ton of party favors that were personalized. She had hershey bars that were wrapped in blue wrappers that said "It's a Boy" on the front and the back had nutritional facts like "Serving Size: One Bouncing Baby Boy" and " Hammers & Nails 20%, Baseball 20%, Hugs 20%, Sweetness 20%....Love & Joy 100%." There were also little boxes with mints inside that say "Jessica R. Daniel's Baby Shower January 17, 2009: Thanks for celebrating our Special Delivery" and then a little bundle of Hershey Kisses wrapped up with a tag that said "Ten Little fingers, Ten Little toes, Oh how fast baby Collin will Grow!" Haha... I thought that was so cute. Stacey had hand made a diaper cake also that was adorable! It has 3 tiers. The top one has all newborn diapers and then they go up in size on the next tiers. It was wrapped in brown and blue ribbon and has baby socks, bibs, etc hanging from it and then topped with baby blue shoes. It's too cute to even take apart for the diapers!! There was a TON of food too! Kristy handmade chocolate covered strawberries that were sooo good! And they had turkey spaghetti and salad and a really delicious punch made with ginger ale, grape juice and punch. We played a game where everyone had to wear a necklace and if they said the word "baby" they had to give away their necklace or take it away from someone who said it. I think Steph won at the end with the most necklaces. We also played a game where they had to guess the size of my belly!!! I thought they were going to actually get out a tape measure...but they passed around a roll of streamers and each person had to pull out as much as they thought would fit around my belly. My friend Gabs was really really close, and then it got around and Julie was the last person's paper to be measured and she was SPOT on!! It wasn't as embarrassing as I thought it would be. Haha.. The day was really fun!
Later on that night, my mom, Steph, Sam (her b/f), Pat and I went to eat at Buca di Beppo because Pat needed to carb load for the half marathon he ran in the next day. We were all pretty exhausted and went home to bed after dinner.
On Sunday, Pat and I woke up at 5am so I could take him down to the start line of the marathon. He hadn't really trained at all, but I knew he would do great. The plan was for me to just go back to meet him at the finish line and pick him up, but I dropped him off and when I got home I was too excited to see the race and go see him run that I got dressed and went to find him at mile 9 on the course. I finally saw him! It gives me a boost of energy to see people I know while I'm out there running, so I thought I would surprise him. I took him some orange slices knowing that at that point it gets pretty draining! After I saw him I went straight to the finish line. I managed to squeeze my way in (huge belly and all) to the front of the gate so I could see him as he was passing. I yelled out his name as he was coming, and he managed to come give me a high five just before crossing the finish line! :) I'm so proud of him! Me and my bright ideas signed up for 2 half marathons last year, not knowing I'd be pregnant, and Pat ended up taking them both over and doing great in BOTH!! Right after the race we had to rush back home to get ready to go to my other baby shower at my mother and sister-in laws'.
We got to their house at 12:30 when the baby shower was supposed to start. It seemed like everyone got there right at the same time! We had a really good turnout! As you walked in they had cards out for people to write down their advise for me as a new mom. I haven't gotten to read the cards yet because they are putting them in a book for me, but I can't wait to see what everyone says! Hopefully people gave us some really good advise! I feel like I can use all the help I can get right now. They had a bunch of food set out also! We all started off the shower by eating and then started playing games. The first one was a sheet of paper where there was a list of different animals and you had to guess the name of the baby animal. I was sooo bad at it! I made a lot of mine up! Like an armadillo?? Who the heck knows what a baby armadillo is called?? I wrote down roadkill. Haha... That was what the majority of my answers looked like. I only knew like 8 out of 20 real answers. :( After that we played a word jumble game where there was a list of scrambled up baby words and you had 5 minutes to unscramble them and figure out what the real words were. I did a little bit better on this one... like 12 out of 20. Haha... I didn't win either game.. or even come close! After the games we opened gifts and ate cake. There were soo many gifts!! I loved everything we got, but my favorite thing we got this weekend was a photo shoot with the photographer from our wedding for 4 different sessions when the baby is growing up throughout the first year!! My mom gave us a box and I opened it and it had a few different things for bathing the baby, and then there was a card. I opened it and it had one of our engagement pictures on the front and said "You've come a long way, Baby!" And then inside it says the gift is for 4 photo shoots : when the baby is 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year old. We will get to pick 10 pictures from each session and then they will be bound in a leather book for us to have. I can't wait!!!!!! Besides that, we got soooooo many nice gifts this weekend! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to everyone for their amazing generosity!!! We are pretty much set for Collin to come! Now he just needs to decide when he'll make his appearance. Hopefully sooner than later!!!!!

1/19/09
It's been awhile since I posted! It was a really busy weekend!! I had a bunch of family come in this weekend, and I had 2 baby showers in one weekend!! We got soooo much stuff!!! Our house is full of stuff now. Our dining room is pretty much Babys R Us waiting to be unpacked.
Ok...well I'll start off with Friday. Stephanie came in and we hung out for awhile. Then we went to a basketball game at school. Our sophomore team lost by one point right as the buzzer rang! Bummer! Our JV team looked horrible so I'm sure we lost. We left at halftime. We waited for Pat to get off work and then decided to go met up with him for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. Steph and I both thought it sounded good because they have delicious french fries. Pat was saying he didn't want to go there if they still got up and danced around. I was like "i'm sure they don't do that anymore." I hadn't been there in a really long time. He reluctantly agreed but said "if they bust out with the macarena we're walking out." Haha..so I agreed... being positive they wouldn't play that song from the early 90s.
When we were at the bar waiting to be seated the lady next to us had a glass of white zinfandel with like 5 cherries at the bottom. It looked SOOO good! Haha... I could definitely go for wine soaked cherries right now! My virgin strawberry daquiri will have to sufice for now. Ok so they sat us down and we had crab and shrimp balls as an appetizer and they were just as good as I remember! So this is about the point the first song came on when they turned down the lights and started walking around the restaurant singing. Oooops.... Well they have these new things on the menu called steam pots. They had a bunch of different kinds to choose from. We decided between the 3 of us to order 2 and share them. As we were eating my mom called and said they were almost here. While I was trying to give them directions on the phone I saw something that looked like gum on the side of one of the pails but I pointed it at it and neither Steph or Pat were paying attention. When I got off the phone I said "is that gum?" and Pat said "no it's just shell" and grabbed it. It DEFINITELY was NOT shell!! It was sooo gross!! I stopped eating! Pat went to wash his hands and came back and actually wanted to keep eating! Eeww!! We told the waiter and the manager came over and ended up comping our entire meal (minus the 1 beer Pat had). We only paid like $4 for the whole meal! No wonder people pull scams at restaurants!! hahah... Ohhhh and I forgot to mention...to make the meal EVEN better.. the macarena DID come on!!!!! Right around the time of the gum incident. Haha... I'm not sure we'll be going back there again!
Ok... I'm going to post the rest about the weekend later...

I was like "i'm sure they don't do that anymore." I hadn't been there in a really long time. He reluctantly agreed but said "if they bust out with the macarena we're walking out." Haha..so I agreed... being positive they wouldn't play that song from the early 90s.
When we were at the bar waiting to be seated the lady next to us had a glass of white zinfandel with like 5 cherries at the bottom. It looked SOOO good! Haha... I could definitely go for wine soaked cherries right now! My virgin strawberry daquiri will have to sufice for now. Ok so they sat us down and we had crab and shrimp balls as an appetizer and they were just as good as I remember! So this is about the point the first song came on when they turned down the lights and started walking around the restaurant singing. Oooops.... Well they have these new things on the menu called steam pots. They had a bunch of different kinds to choose from. We decided between the 3 of us to order 2 and share them. As we were eating my mom called and said they were almost here. While I was trying to give them directions on the phone I saw something that looked like gum on the side of one of the pails but I pointed it at it and neither Steph or Pat were paying attention. When I got off the phone I said "is that gum?" and Pat said "no it's just shell" and grabbed it. It DEFINITELY was NOT shell!! It was sooo gross!! I stopped eating! Pat went to wash his hands and came back and actually wanted to keep eating! Eeww!! We told the waiter and the manager came over and ended up comping our entire meal (minus the 1 beer Pat had). We only paid like $4 for the whole meal! No wonder people pull scams at restaurants!! hahah... Ohhhh and I forgot to mention...to make the meal EVEN better.. the macarena DID come on!!!!! Right around the time of the gum incident. Haha... I'm not sure we'll be going back there again!
Ok... I'm going to post the rest about the weekend later...
