Comfy Cozy

Well still no baby........

She's just so Comfy Cozy she's in no hurry to come out. And who could blame her it's blasted hot out still!

I've been stuck at 4 cm and 80% effaced for a week now.......

The Dr. and I have kind of put 2 and 2 together and realized that I've NEVER actually gone into labor on my own and there is a VERY BIG possibility that I can't without petocin. With AJ and Trevor my water broke so I was put on it to start contractions and with Dylan I was induced and so I was given it also. I never had a contraction not even braxton hicks before labor was started for me. With her I've had contractions...not braxton hicks REAL CONTRACTIONS and close together (2-3 min apart) but it's not doing the trick. It is frustrating because I'm exhausted from having them, timing them, having them monitored just to be sent away but oh well....girls will be girls and as long as she's the center of attention she has no intentions of going anywhere ~ FOR NOW.

I had an ultrasound last wk and got the best news! She's in the 50% instead of the 70-80% like her brothers. The measurements they did put her at 6.8 lbs...let's hope she is less that 8 when I have her!

SOOOoooo that just means Adia has a little extra time to relax before she's exposed to her crazy family who are impatiently waiting to meet her!

My Dr. put me on the induction list for the end of next wk. Hopefully I've had her by the time my name comes up but if not she will finally learn who's in charge in this house! Ha ha ya right she's made it very clear these past 9 1/2 months that this is her show.


I'm still just as excited to meet her but have gotten so used to her hanging out that I'm not so impatient as I was even a week ago....that could be because I've come to terms with the fact that she's coming when she wants to after I've literally tried ALMOST every Old Wives Tale to get her out on my schedule. 


I can't wait to tell her her story some day and for us all to be able to laugh about it!

NeW BLoG NaME!!!!

It's time I came up with something because I'm running out of time before Adia gets here!!

So as you can see we are now:

LIVING IN WONDERLAND

looking through the looking glass

I LOVE it!!!

 My sister helped me come up with it so I can't take all the credit... :)

So why the rush you may be asking....

WELL

I had my Dr. appt today and I am progressing a little quicker than I had thought! 
I'm already at 3 cm and 50% effaced!!!

 Holy Smokes!!!

 Dr. said I could deliver any day now! 
I knew she would be early but the first wk of Sept wasn't even on my mind...UNTIL NOW.

So the next post you see may just be pictures of our baby girl!!!

Wish us luck 

Adia's room is FINALLY DONE!!!!!

I think I did pretty good at turning my vision into reality.  When I was a little girl we took a trip to CA with my mom and Grandparents and my Grandparents asked me what I wanted to collect because everyone in our family collected something. My Grandma... frogs and porcelain dolls, my mom...pigs (thank goodness that phase is over ha ha). So we were stopping at little side of the road outdoor shops (I don't really know what to call them...) and there was a glass unicorn and I knew that was what I wanted to collect. So from that moment on every unicorn my family found they bought it for my collection. As I got older I became more interested in fairies and the stories and magic that came with them. So then my unicorn collection became a fairy and unicorn collection. After I was married and had our first boys I decided it was time to retire my fairies and unicorns from being displayed because I was the only girl in the house and it was just weird. So I wrapped them up and put them in my hope chest in HOPE that one day I could give them to my own daughter.

AND I FINALLY GOT MY CHANCE!

I used fairies and unicorns from my hope chest to start her room and went from there!

The flowers on her wall I took off of the plastic stems and used wall putty to put them up...I might need to come up with an alternative because some have fallen off and I have had to put back up but I love it! I surrounded her name with the flowers....they look kind of hidden in the picture..it's really cute though!

My friend Cami made vinyl fairies for Adia's walls and the one above her bed is a fairy sitting on a crescent moon. 

On the shelves are all of the fairies and unicorns that have made it through 13 years of moving. Not as many as I wished I could pass down to her but I'm sure her collection will grow.

I put a small book shelf in her room with cubbies for all her shoes, hair bows and bath things.

The only thing missing in her room is the changing pad that's going on her dresser.

The fairy over her dresser is my FAVORITE! I am going to have to wait for better lighting to take a better picture because what you don't see is where the fairies hand is is pink pixie dust making up the words ADIA in cursive along the wall.....SO CUTE!!!!

There's a poem about unicorns on the left and a hand drawn fairy picture on the right and a couple more vinyl fairies in her entry way.

I got dark curtains to block out light because our windows are so HUGE in our house...I was going to do a green but I wanted green to be an accent and the window is too big of a part of her room not an accent.

I HOPE SHE LOVES IT AS MUCH AS I DO!!!!

34 wks down....

Today was my 34 wk check up and everything still looks PERFCT!

Last wk I ended up going to the hospital to stop labor after 7 hrs of contractions 5 min apart. They never progressed to intolerable but I did get nauseous when I tried to eat and that's what made me call the Dr.. My Dr. said that I just need to hold off 2 1/2 wks and she would be fine with me delivering. I've always gone a couple wks early and the boys have all weighed over 8 lbs and never had issues but I've never had one that wanted out so bad that I had to have labor stopped! I'd like her to wait 4 wks so that I can finish everything I'm not getting done and putting off but she's had a mind of her own this entire pregnancy so whatever happens, happens.

Baby girl has had the hiccups NON STOP for the past 3 wks for at LEAST an hour a day and my Dr. said that it's because a girls lungs develop WAY faster than a males and hers are strong and almost ready and so she's getting the hiccups frequently. It's so weird because I NEVER felt hiccups before with the boys, I don't think even once did they have them.

I can't believe that we are so close and that she could be coming SO SOON! I think I'm in denial a little bit. It was definitely a wake up call when the Dr. said it could happen in 2 1/2 wks...how is this possible?! I'm usually so impatient and the end of the pregnancy feels like 9 months all by itself but this time I'm having a hard time staying at the pace my pregnancy is going.

Next appt is in 2 wks and then we start going to wkly appts! 

First day of the 2011-2012 school year!

We woke up at 6:30 and the first thing Dylan said was, "I hate this!" UNTIL I reminded him that todays his first day of Kindergarten! Then his eyes lit up and he was up and out of bed.

His favorite breakfast for his his first day of school!

He kept blowing me kisses and telling me he loved me.

Don't forget about me mom! 

First day of school OFFICIAL picture!

Dylan~Kindergarten

Trevor~5th Grade

Both of them had their outfits picked out 2 wks ago.

Cutest smile in the world!

Standing in line on the playground getting ready to go to his classroom for the first time!

This is only moments away from me losing it....

(I wish that it wasn't so crowded I think it overwhelmed him a little bit)

Trevor was over the whole thing as soon as we got to school and was gone with his friends.

As soon as I got home from walking the younger boys to school AJ was waiting for me so he could leave for his first day of 7th grade!!!!

Even saying goodbye to him was hard....

I can't believe ALL of my boys are off to school! My house is empty, there is no one saying, "Mom, Mom, Mom look, Mom, Hello Mom!!!!!"

I'm sure I will get used to the peace and quiet quick, especially since I won't be alone for long!

I can't wait to hear all about their first day of school and to get that kiss Dylan promised me!!!!
