Well even though my mom posted a comment about the doctor's I will tell you guys everything else.

Went to the doctor's today and I am pretty sure that my mucus plug or whatever came out, because it looked just like it said it would in the book. When I actually saw the doctor she did an exam and told me that I am about 2 centimeters dilated, and that everything is thinning out great. She said that she would put the baby about about 7 lbs 1 ounce and that I should have an easy labor. But she probably tells that to everyone lol. She also said that I should probably be delivering this weekend sometime. But also made an appointment for me next week just in case I don't. They hooked me up to the monitor's to do a non-stress test and everything looked really good. She was sleeping for the first half but then I would poke my side and she would poke me back in the same spot, it was pretty funny. Jon kept yelling at me, but it woke her up and made her more active.

That's about all the new news I have. Went out and about yesterday in hopes it would send me into labor but no such luck. We went mini golfing and had a little bbq at my friend Chels's house. Then went out to a local bar for wing night (they half 10 cent chicken wings), and then to another local bar for karoke night.

Well love you all and will post again when there is something to post.

Well not a whole lot of new news to post on my end. The baby is being stubborn and is still in my tummy. She is moving around still, and I am having tiny irregular contractions, but nothing to serious. I don't think she ever will come out. I think that she will just live in there forever :) I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow (unless I go into labor tonight). They will give me another ultra sound, and check all the good stuff that they normally do.

My parents and my sister are coming out this weekend and I am very excited, because I get to see my little monster Bryan. Hopefully I will have the baby by then, or while they are here. If not at least I will get some family time in.

Jon started his chemistry class this week. They actually cancelled the class he had in Rome, and didn't even let him know. But he is able to take the class in Utica, which is about 20 mintues away from here. He also took his entrance exam today to get into the nursing college and he did really well and got a 88% overall. So hopefully he will be starting there in the fall.

That's about all the news I have of now. I love you all and will update everyone when I have more news. I will give whoever wants a call when the baby is born, just let me know. If you don't want a call, I will be posting the day I come home from the hospital (or have Jon post for me). Marisa I know you want an update as soon as something happens...I already have that covered :)

Love you all!!

New Belly


This is the most recent picture of my growing tummy. I took it earlier today. And with any luck it will be shrinking down any day now lol.
I had a little scare yesterday and had to go to the hospital. About 6 o'clock I started to worry, because I had not felt the baby move at all. So I called the doctor's office, but since it was after hours, the calls go thruogh to the Materity ward at the hospital. They told me to come in since I had tried everything to get her to move. When I got there they hooked up monitors to my stomach to listen to the baby's heartbeat. It also showed when she was moving. It showed that everything was fine and that she was moving around normally, although I was still feeling nothing. After about an hour and a half or so they sent me home, and told me to try eating something and drinking and to lay on my side for an hour and to keep my hands on my belly to try to feel her move. They told me that if I still didn't feel her move after an hour to call back. Well after an hour had past and still I felt nothing, I called and they had me come back in for a sonogram and some more monitering. The sonogram showed that my placenta or whatever it is called was positioned where I probably wouldn't be able to feel the baby kick. They were able to push on my belly and feel her roll around, but I felt nothing. Maybe because I was not sure what I was feeling for, since usually she is always kicking and I don't have to feel for her. After the sonogram I was able to feel her kick. I guess they must of pushed everything around, because she kept me up all night playing inside my tummy. Jon asked if they could tell for sure that the baby was a girl and the lady checked but said that since I am so far along that she couldn't really see anything.
I go to the actual doctor tomorrow for a check up, and for her to check and see if I am dilated anymore. Not really looking forward to that since it's painful for me.
In other news Jon is doing good. He has been working 4 nights a week at the casino, working the midnight shift. But as of next week he will be only working 2 nights. He will start his Chemistry class this coming Monday. He will be going Mon, Tues, and Thurs from 5:30-9:30 till mid June. And hopefully he will be starting the nursing college this fall. He has to take an entrance exam on May 23rd (same day as I am due). We were going to have him see if he could take it another day, but when I was talking to my mom about it, she said not to since whatever day he changed it to would be the day I go into labor, which would probably happen.
Besides that there is really no more news to post about. Love you all and I will post again soon!!

Ok so I have been looking into hotels for those coming out for my wedding. But I am having trouble, because I am not really sure what days I am looking for. Plus I am unsure of who is coming. I know I have not sent out invitations yet, which may be a good thing now. Um...I am going to talk to Robin to see if she has already requested the time off of work, and if she hasn't then I can look into pushing the date a week ahead or back. That way it is easier for everyone. Since we haven't told anyone yet (besides close family) about the date, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

So if I could get dates in which you plan to come out assuming the wedding stays the same date, that would be great. I know of 4 hotels in the city of Rome. There is the Rome motel (which is not the nicest place), the Quality Inn, The Beeches, and The Ecno Lodge. Now outside of Rome there is the 4 hotels and Inn's connected to and by the Casino. I looked and most of them are booked for the weekeend.

Besides that not a whole lot to post. I went to the doctor's today and I am half a cent. dialated (sp?), and 50% efaced (sp?). I don't really know what that means lol, but it's good I guess. The doctor told me that I should probably have my hospital bags packed just to be sure. He said although I am not dialated very much now, that can change quickly without any warning. All my blood test came back good. My iron is up from my last test, but is still low. They just said to keep taking my pills everyday.

That's about all the new news on my end. Just tryin g to figure out the hotel situation for you guys. I asked Jonathan if he knew if anything was going on that weekend at the casino and he said nothing that he can think of, but I guess he said that it gets busy at the end of the summer.

Love everyone!
