I was going to go into day and get my membranes striped, but when I called, we found out that they are only taking girls that are in labor today.  They are short on nurses and don’t have any open beds.  I asked my midwife what to do and she said walk, take a warm bath and some ambian.  My next appointment is Tuesday so we will see what happens.  I am not seeing the midwife that I really like, I am actualy seeing on that doesn’t believe in inducing. UGH.  This is so depressing. 

I don’t think he is posterior anymore becuase I am not feeling all the lower back pain I was feeling the other day (which is good),  I am depressed that the caster oil didn’t work.  I was expecting to be really sick or go into labor.  None of which happened. Well, I did use the bathroom a lot, but it wasn’t really bad…..anyways.

There is your update Jen.  Don’t worry, I understand why you can’t be here.  Maybe the next one we will live in california and there wouldn’t be any traveling for anyone.  I love ya too.. talk to you tomorrow.

Went to labour and delivery today and the nurse was thinking that the midwife was going to keep me.  I was consistantly contracting even though the monitor wasn’t picking up most of them.  Most of the contractions where in my lower back.  We talked about my due date and the concerns I have with the estimated date the midwifes came up with and so she said I had a valid pointe and was going to look into it.  When the midwife came down, she checked me and said that Vincent is sunnyside up and that is causing all the back pain.  She also went through the due date calculations.  We basicaly agreed to my due date being within the week.  But not an actual day.  (the agreement doesn’t mean anything, but for inducing they won’t wait til 13oct)  She told me to change the way I sit and gave me some little excerises.  But all the contractions that I am/was having are for not.  They are not helping in anyway and I haven’t changed anything in two weeks.

Here are the pics that you can’t open.

I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has gone.  I am so excited to know that he will be here before I know it.  I know that I am so done being p.g. but I should enjoy these last few days.  It is amazing me to the stages of movement you feel.  When I was about 17w I felt his little butterfly movements that sent me into tears.  It was so real.  There was actually something growing inside me.  When I was 21w’ish I started to feel his kicks.  I thought the butterflys where neat.  I had no idea.  Sean was finaly able to feel him around 25w.  We were in California the night of Stacy’s wedding.  It had been such a long day…..Week…I was laying in bed and seans hand laid on my tummy and he was like, WOW..That was a really specail moment.  I will talk about him in a minute.  Over the last 17w Vincent has ran out of room and his kicks have become more of rolls and waves.  Looking at my tummy and seeing it move, oh my goodness.  It’s like a little grimlin is about it pop out.  He often gets hiccups which as long as it’s not at night I dont seem to mind.  They only last about 10 mins and then fade away.  Sleeping as become pointless.  I am up almost every hour either to pee or to change positions.  My midwife has given my ambien, but they really don’t seem to do anything really.  So, I will stick with knowing he will be out soon.  LOL….I was like YEA I will be able to sleep at night, well no not really.  But I will have a little baby to hold and snuggle and I won’t (I say that now) care about being woken up.

Sean and this pregnancy.  He wasn’t really around for Stephanies pregnancy with Jade, So he really didn’t have much exposure on what to expect.  In my first trimester, he was working in Yakima and not home most of it.  Sean likes to talk to baby.  He uses my bellybutton as his gate way.  He tells baby everynight that he loves him and kisses the belly. 

We chose the name Vincent because we wanted a name that was trendy or a fad.  We also wanted to stay away from the top 10 names.  Vincent is the name of Seans Great Grandfather.  As most people know Fox, if a family name on my side.  Devun also is Fox.  Nicknames he may go by are: Vinnie and vince.  Seans brother said he is going to call him Fox.  We will see.

Little picture was his first pic.

Click on Baby 1m and you will see side profile, all his hair, gender, and I don’t know what. Baby 2 is our 3d pics that I had done.  I was so excited.  The radiology dept just got the machine and needed to “practice”

I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has gone.  We have had a stressful year and it hasn’t stoped but definitly has slowed down.  Over the past few weeks, I have felt the baby drop and had a scare that sent us to the L&D.  But everything is AOK.  In a little over a week, I went from not dilated and firm and long, to 1-2cm soft and 1station.  Not to sure what all that means, but she told us to pack our bags and do some walking.

After we left the appoinment, I felt like I needed to do some calling and let everyone know our exciting news.  Called Jen, but no answer.  Returned my mom’s call and I felt like I was missing someone.  Grandma.  I almost dialed Robyns number, but I realized I wouldn’t get grams on the line.  I silently was sad, but the emotion was so overwhelming I couldn’t help but cry.  Sean didn’t say anything except hold my hand. 

In Relief Society a few Sundays ago we talked about remembering our loved ones, and I made it though the lesson and felt complete peace and I know she is in a better place.  But I feel like she is missing so much done here and there was a lot that she needed to do.  I wish I would of had a baby when she would of been able to watch my little one grow, but I was in no way ready to be a responsible mother to a child.  I am so excited to finaly be a mother and to hopefuly raise my children in a loving enviroment that they know who they are and where they came from.  Even though Grandma isn’t here, I know that she taught me valuable lessons that I will be able to pass on to my children.
