Overdue

Life has been crazy to say the least lately. I thought I would try and catch up on my blogging! Well as far as my pregnancy, turns out I went a week overdue before the doctor finally induced me. I tried everything to get my boy here and he would just not come! I was scheduled to be induced on the 18th, but they cancelled it and pushed me back to Friday the 20th. Dang it. But before that, my due date came along (the 14th) and I went to Maceys and got donuts for breakfast and I came home and just cried. I cried and cried and my wonderful husband did his best to consoul me. It's hard to understand, but it's just that you've been told this day for basically a year, and everyday you think to yourself that that day you will have him here, and then it comes around, FINALLY after all that waiting and anticipating, and you dont have a baby. It was kind of devastating, to be honest. But I did my best to be patient, and I'm so glad I did. Because I gave birth to healthy, and happy 8 pound sweetheart!!

Keagan's Nursery

Keagan's Nursery is FINALLY done! It has literally taken us 8 months, but we have it done, and I am so excited to share it with the world! I just hope he loves it as much as I do :]
(ps. I WISH the photo quality and lighting was better! It looks cuter in person!)

I sewed the bedding :] Very proud of that! It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. It looks super cute!

 All the picture frames are empty because we are waiting for his newborn pictures :] Look I'm all packed and ready to go!

 My husband's handy work! In our little house, we have to use the closet for storage, so I thought about having an open armoire for his clothes instead! 

 Changing table and curtains. Both hand made.

 Baskets labeled "white onesies, diapers, and lotions"

 Side cubby for Q-tips, Germ-x, cotton balls, and everything else you need on hand when changing a diaper. 

(The only thing left is the changing pad cover, and it's coming in the mail!)

 Jordan-made lol

As you can tell, basically everything in the nursery is hand made, I thank my amazingly talented husband for that! I come up with ideas, and he makes it :] I feel like the nursery was definitely a team effort and we are both glad to have it done! I can't wait to see my little boy here! Obviously, he is SPOILED!

Week 38

Week 38, ALMOST 39

Oh how the days just drag on and on! Lots has gone on since I blogged last, lots of being miserable! Hopefully he will come any day now, but it kills me to say that I doubt it :(

• Last time I went to the doctor, he told me that I was still 80% effaced, and I was dialated to a "1 and a wiggle." So I'm basically the same, but we will see what the doctor says tomorrow!
• My little man is grinding in my pelvis. Literally, everytime I take a step it hurts.
• This heat is killing me! Yesterday was the 4th of July and I got so lightheaded standing in the heat for so long.
• My fingers are even more swollen now. They look like sausages. lol I had to take the other bigger ring off my left hand because it was getting too small. Now I just dont think I'll wear a wedding ring until the baby is born.
• The rubbing on my ribs is now getting so bad that I'll just shoot up in the middle of the night because of the sharp pain.
• Sleeping has been seriously terrible. I toss and turn all night long! But yesterday, we borrowed a body pillow, and oh my gosh. I would recommend them to any pregnant girl! I sleep like a rock, and it's so much more comfortable when your hips aren't being pulled and tweaked. I wish I would have gotten this sooner!!
• My house is pretty clean :] my focus is on keeping it this way. I want to be keeping up on the laundry and dishes because I could leave at anytime and leaving a filthy house (having my baby come home to a filthy house) would drive me absolutely insane.
• I'm getting sharp pains in my stomach now, which is good news :] He is still moving a bit too, just not as crazy as he used to.
• I seriously make a trip to the bathroom every 15 minutes. No joke. My advice to a pregnant girl would be to stalk up on toilet paper! You go through so much! lol It gets annoying.
• Ultimately, I hate this waiting game!

Basically, I can't wait to have my little boy in my arms! That's all I ever dream about. I fantasize about labor and birth and how it will be to see his face for the first time, and I get so excited!! I can't wait! I really just can't wait!
