37 weeks!!!!!!

Went to the Dr. yesterday, and Mr. Cody is doing great. Causing mommy lots of pain and discomfort!!! I am 1 cm dilated!!!!! Which means he is getting ready. Wahoo! I am getting so excited. She said he is still in the head down position and engaged. So he is ready. She said next week when I go in we will talk about the possibility of inducing between 39 - 41 weeks. Depending on his size and everything. But I am not really worried about it. Something tells me I may not make it to 39 weeks. That is still 2 weeks away.
And let me just say I have some wonderful friends. Kari and Tammy came over last night to help me clean the house before my baby shower this Saturday. And man, when they say they are going to clean, they are serious about it. All the way to cleaning the dust off my walls!!!! My house smelt so good. I feel like I just watched them clean.....but was purely exhausted by the time they left. We didn't get to finish everything, because some one was rushing us. He was ready to come inside and rest a bit, and didn't want to do that with people in the house! ( go figure) But I am so appreciative to their help. I couldn't have possibly done the things they did for me!!!
So another busy weekend ahead, but after that hopefully I can find some time to try and relax a bit....if Cody lets me! As long as he waits though until at least next Mon he can come anytime he like after that. I can't believe I am getting so close. Before I know it I am going to have a baby!!!

36 weeks

This mornings Dr. visit was real quick. She listened to the babies hear beat, which is good, and said we were healthy! I gained 2 lbs this last week!! I'm at 123.6lbs. Which means baby Cody is growing too. I have noticed him moving less. (NOT MUCH ROOM TO MOVE NOW) But just less active. He still has the active moments, but think he may have started a sleep pattern.?.? This week has been completely hectic and stressful and crazy for me. I have the ACS Relay For Life this weekend. And am trying to get everything finished and together for it. Plus trying to find some time to clean a little here or there before my baby shower next weekend. But it's hard after working all day, and making baby all day....sometimes I just need to go home and put my feet up and rest. Part of me feels guilty for that, the other part says, this is part of taking care of Cody. I just feel so blessed though, to have a job where I can work up until I have the baby, because my boss doesn't stress me out. I love being at work (unless I am tired because the days are getting longer LOL) . Don't get me wrong, it has its stressful days, but the stress I have is the stress I have put on myself.
I have to share with ya'll one of my little blessings I have noticed.....At 36 weeks I am still able to squat over a public toilet. I was concerned that by this point, that would not be possible, but I am still able to.....YES,.... God is good!

35 weeks

Well I went to the Dr. yesterday. Everything looks good she said. I am going every week now. She checked me to be sure I wasn't dialated, and said he is head down "and has assumed the position" she said he is right there. Christy said that means he is probably engaged. So he is ready. Just hoping he waits another 2 1/2 to 3 weeks! I didn't gain a single pound in 2 weeks, but my dr was ok with this. She said I have gained healthy throughout my pregnancy. So I am still at 121lbs. Which is great I think. I am battling real bad allergies right now. Had to go home sick Wednesday. (That was a first for me!!) She told me to take some claritin and keep it under control. She doesn't want me getting a sinus infection or anything while I am this far along.
On another note I had two friends hold a "photo shoot" for me on Wed afternoon. They are so good to me!!! I didn't have any "full body" pics of me while prego, all of them are just stomach shots. So they took a bunch! Here are just a few....

Update (sorry it has taken so long)

Hi there everyone. I am so sorry that I haven't been able to keep up. I have been so busy, and it seems its only going to get worse. I have no spare time from now (or should I say from 3 weeks back) until the 2nd weekend in November. And at that point....I may be having my little boy! Everyone keeps telling me they don't think I am going to last until November. Well I hope I do...just too much left going on!!!
Well my last Dr. visit was last Thurs., the 2nd. Everything was good. She said my weight (which is at 121 lbs) is just perfect, and baby sounds good, and test are coming back good, and things are right on track. It was a very quick, no fuss appointment. For my next one though, I think there may be some fussing. On Thursday night, Robyn had a little accident. I was walking down my dark hallway to the bedroom and tripped over Leaha and fell, right on my stomach. I hit pretty hard, and oh man did it hurt. I called my sister, because I knew she would be able to tell me what to do. (And she did) After calming me and talking me through, she said just to call my Dr. and see what she wanted me to do. Well she said I needed to go to the hospital, so they could monitor me. So Clint took me to the hospital. He was so amazing too. I just love him! So anyway, they monitored Cody and I for about an hour and half, maybe two hours, and we checked out ok. She said Cody seemed happy and in no distress. She said I was having some contractions, so she kept me a little longer to be sure there was no signs of pre-term labor, then sent me home. Well as far as these little contractions go.....let me just say they are stinking awful!!!!! I had not been having any, but starting .... well I guess yesterday has been the worst, the braxton hicks contractions have been in full force. LOVELY, let me just tell you. It's getting harder to make it through a full day of work, but so far I am making it.
Anyway, I go back to the Dr. next Thurs. the 16th. Hopefully I will get a chance to update that day!
Hope everyone is having a great day!!!
XOXO

Long time, no see

Ok so I am getting bad at this now. I now it has been a couple weeks since my last post. I don't have a lot of time these days, and am actually really busy now, but wanted to share some pics. I will write more later.
These are from last weekend. A friend of mine's baby shower. She is due 2 days before me. All 3 of us are preggo.
