More of my luck....good or bad, you decide.

Well after 3 days of daily trips to the hospital for tests and appointments we finally got a date for the baby to be delivered...one way or the other. Tuesday Sept. 2 at 11am I will be having a version procedure to try and flip the baby back head down. If the procedure works then they will break my water and induce labour. If it doesn't work or if the baby's heartbeat drops at all I will have a c-section right then and there. Sounds good right? I mean Mathew's birthday is Oct. 2 and now this one will be Sept 2....pretty neat. Now here is when my bad luck comes in...

This morning at 9am my mom called me to tell me my uncle found my grandpa dead at his home last night, apparently he had a massive heart attack and was dead before he hit the floor. I grew up living beside this man. My grandma died of cancer in January and now Grandpa. The funny thing about it is when my mom was pregnant with me her grandfather died and getting the call that he died sent her into labour with me. Now almost 34 years later history is repeating itself...except I better not go into labour anytime soon. They are going to hold the funeral off until Thursday so that a couple of my cousins can get down in time for it but I doubt I will be out of the hospital by then.

I don't know how to be happy and sad at the same time. :(

Proof kids never do what they are told.

So I just got back from my weekly doctors appointment and all I have to say is BAD BAD BAD BABY!!!! "Junior" is feet DOWN and head under my ribs. :( My doc felt around and was a little confused because last week it was head down so he went and got his ultrasound machine and checked and sure enough the big huge lump that has been poking me was a HEAD.

Since my appointments are weekly he said that we will see what happens next week and if "Junior" hasn't turned then my options are to be admitted and have the baby be physically manipulated into position or he will schedule a c-section. Not too sure I like the idea of being manipulated but I don't wanna have a breech baby either, so we will wait and see. OH and the doc checked and it was too crowded to tell the sex of the baby so I guess it really will be a surprise.

blah
lol

Whats a few months between friends?

Sooooooooo hello :)
Ya its been forever but I had a lot going on and blogging had to take a back burner.

Anyways things are starting to quiet down again...August is usually a busy month but I decided to opt out of a few family functions and stuff to keep it from being so hectic.

Let's see...whats new.
Well a few weeks ago I got 14 inches of my hair cut off to donate for Cancer. It has been 2 years since my step mom died and 2 years since I got a hair cut...felt good to finally be rid of it all and the best part..knowing my hair would go towards helping someone else. I have a couple pics I still have to upload but here is an after pic.












Less than 3 weeks to go and the baby should be here. I say SHOULD because it feels like it likes its current living quarters and has no plans on leaving lol Its hard to walk and hard to sit and hard to eat lol but it will all be worth it soon.


Here is a pic from June











Not so bad...

Now here is a pic from last week...in my 9th month and counting lol

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE...blah...
Thankfully I have only gained 28lbs this time....with Mathew it was about 45lbs lol

I have my weekly appointment tomorrow so hopefully that will go well and we will sit and wait and wait and wait some more.

Well I need to go fold some laundry and figure out what to have for supper. I will update more often lol I promise :)
