37 weeks!!

I went to the dr. on wednesday and was dilated to a 4 so doc is making me go back tommorrow morning and I know he will try to persuade me to induce, but I just don't want to have this baby that way!!! I to go into labor on my own when my body and baby girl are ready not on doc's time! So it's almost eleven at night and I'm wide awake because my nerves are so rattled over this, because I tend to give nto what other people want to easily. I mentioned to my hubby that I would really like to shampoo all the carpets and clean the house from top to bottom before having this lil one and this morning he came home with the machine and started doing it!!! What a wonderful hubby!! I hate carpet and so look forward to our new home with no carpet and only wood and tile floors! Also I'm still waiting for my car seat cover. I also decided to go with the aqua damask with white minky and striped bedding I posted about earlier and have painted the baby dresser and will post pics up soon.

36 WEEKS!!!!!!!

Yesterday I went for a check up and this lady in the lobby felt she had to tell me I must be having a 12lb baby and the doctor would have to take it from me. I was so upset I told her please don't say things like that, and not to mention the office was full of people all listening to what she was telling me! By the time I got in the exam room and the doc and nurse asked how I was doing I just started crying and couldn't even talk, finally I told them and doc says that's just someone showing their ignorance, but lately everywhere I go some stranger is making a comment that I must be having twins or how huge I am, I wish people would just stop and realize how it makes a pregnant woman feel when you tell her these things. She already has to look in the mirror everyday and can clearly see how large her growing belly has become and wonders just how big will the baby become by the time she has to give birth! Then my daughter and I went to have lunch together and two older gentlemen just wouldn't stop staring at me and eventually one told me that I looked miserable and when was I going to have this baby. What bothered me the most was the looking miserable part because I had taken time to style my hair, put on my jewelry, and dressed in my nicest maternity outfit so that was the last thing I wanted to hear! Oh well guess that's enough venting for today! My doc says I need to stay off my feet so this baby will stay put for two more weeks so I'm relaxing in the recliner and planning to read alot of good blogs!!!

My style by sproost.com

I took the style test at sproost.com three times and every time it says I am 100% Nantucket style. I never even thought of that as my style, but I love the way those rooms feel so welcoming to me. Now I'm wondering if it's okay to have more of that style in my home that we are hopefully soon to build even though we don't live anywhere near the beach or water?

IDEAS FOR THE NURSERY!!

I haven't posted in so long because my camera died so the hubby had a friend selling a Nikon coolpix for $40 and he bought and that will have to do for now. Anyway I found this small armoire on craigslist listed with another dresser that i will show you later that's going in my 12yr old daughter's room and got both pieces for $105. Now to decide what color to paint it and some new knobs, thinking maybe a very light sage green and some glass knobs. It's sitting in the hall for now because we are so crowded right now and still haven't been able to start building our new home!

I found this beauty on etsy thanks to the blog world. My car seat now is more boy colors and this cover really caught my eye!

I am really drawn to these colors and material options for baby bedding and having trouble trying to decide, but wondering if this is more for a boy nursery! This is also from etsy as well as the one below.

This one is just soooo beautiful it really calls out to me and both materials have that light sage green in the stripped material so that's why I was considering that color for the armoire. I am now 32 weeks pregnant so I really need to make some decisions and get busy putting things together before the baby comes!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

My doctor finally did an ultrasound this morning, I'm at 25 weeks and it's clearly a girl! She cooperated with us and opened her lil legs so we could get a clear shot. She moves all the time so I'm afraid she's going to be very active just like my two yr old son. I ought to be able to loose all the weight running after two very active children at least I hope so!!!

I am 24 weeks pregnant today and I was dealt the most horrible news yesterday and never ever suspected anything so terrible was going on. I believe in the power of prayer and will be in constant prayer and I'm hoping anyone that reads this will pray that I will learn the truth and how to deal with it the way that God would want me to. It's 2:00am right now and I can't even sleep, all I can do is talk to God!!

NEW CANISTERS

I have been looking at canisters ever since I've seen all the nice ones on the kitchens over at kellys korner. So I found these on ebay and they arrived today, oh I was sooo happy when my neighbor called and said fedex was at my house. I couldn't wait to get home and open them. They turned out to be a lil more orange than I wanted, so not too sure about keeping them. I'll have to stare at them for a while and decide.
