Everything happens for a reason and one should never second guess that reason.

39 weeks and still no baby Aubrey yet....

Had my 39 week check up yesterday and everything is looking good. For some reason Aubrey measured at 36 weeks but the doctor thinks it's because she has dropped so much. Her heart rate was 140 bpm and still going strong. I still have not started to dialate and the doctor wont induce me until I have started. I am hoping she will come out this weekend or right around my due date, or at least by my next appointment I will have started to dialate and can get induced.

This little girl tries to puh her way out through my belly button.

I really don't think my belly can get any bigger.

Those stretch marks really came in within the last week or so.
A picture view from my point. I have no idea where my feet went.

Happy Birthday to me, im 38 weeks!

So today is my 24th birthday and I am also 38 weeks along. I had a wonderful birthday and I got to spend the entire day with Randy. Not only did he make me chocolate chip waffles for breakfast he made me a fabulous dinner. Not to mention the presents he got me were super spectacular (new coach shoes, yoga pants and a new penguin coffee mug). We decided to go an walk around the mall and other stores to try and jump start this labor, the only thing that could make my birthday better would be for Aubrey to come out and see us!

Enough about that, yesterday I had my 38 week appointment and everything is still going well. Aubrey's heart rate was 135 bpm and she is still measuring right on track. Still no change with the dilation and that's okay. She has definitely dropped down, but she apparently isn't ready for this crazy big world. I'm getting a bit restless over here, because she moves like crazy and I keep telling her if she is going to move this much she should just come out already.

There really isn't any more room in there.

37 weeks and im getting anxious!

Went to the doctors today for my 37 week check up, and everything is looking good. Aubrey is still measuring well and her heart rate was 148 bpm. Sadly I have not started to dialate which I was kind of hoping to, but that's okay too. I just think she is really happy and content in my belly and doesn't want to come out yet. However, I thought that her movements would have slowed down by now because there isn't much room for her to move around, but to my surprise she moves non stop now. My belly now does the way and along with it I get those lovely kicks to the ribs and other parts of my tummy.

On another note, Randy and I went to the Usher concert last night and it was such a blast. At first I was a bit nervous that my water might break or I would go into labor but none of that happened and we got to enjoy the whole conert! Aubrey seemed to enjoy the concert as well because she was moving and kicking like crazy throughout the night. If there was a song that she didn't like she wouldn't move as much or move at all, but if it was a song that she liked she went crazy. It was so hilarious to feel and watch during the concert. Here are a few pictures from our night out!

Miguel was the opening act.
Trey Songz was the second act!
Usher the main reason we went to the concert!!
Usher and his famous dance moves.
Usher took off his shirt and pulled down his pants. How crazy is that??

36 weeks and Aubrey's room is completely done!

Last weekend Randy and I finished Aubrey's room. Put everything together, washed everything and put it all away. Here are a few pictures of what her room looks like now that it is complete.

We put her letters above the closet (the one's Aunt Karen made for the baby shower).

This is her crib with her rocking horse next to it (which used to be mine when I was little).

Her dresser all ready to go minus the clothes on top. I put those away after I had taken the picture. The black thing is also part of her travel system that we got I just haven't found a good enough space for it.

Definitely a watermelon in there.


My belly is getting huge, I don't know if you can tell but the baby made my belly all crooked because she was on one side and not in the center.

Had my first weekly appointment yesterday and everything went well. I measured at 34 and a half weeks which seems small to me but the doctor says its perfect. Her heart rate was at 153 which is kind of funny because I had my appointment mid morning which is when she is most active compared to late afternoon when she sleeps (normally those ones are lower). I also got checked to see if I was starting to dilate but nothing so far, so maybe I will have progressed by next Thursday when I go in. Other than that I have had a pretty good week, my hands and feet are swollen like no other but I just keep telling myself only 4 more weeks and it will go down.
