Getting ready to open gifts!
Personalized afghan; absolutely beautiful!
It's reversible! (it says L.J.!)
LOL...our hats! :)A great time was had by all! Needless to say after all the gifts were transported to the house I had to have plenty of help! My aunt, mom, mother in law and two cousins helped me organize and get everything into the nursery. However, I had to wash ALL the clothes:
Yea! Lots of clothes! Keep in mind that this doesn't include the clothes my mother and I had already started to accumulate at her house. LOL! No matter at least I won't have to go clothing shopping for a while...right?
And now...the long awaited nursery:
Hubby just finished putting together the 2 and 1 swing/bouncer and we finally got the shades up. We're waiting on the rocking chair, lamp and a few small items, but other than that the nursery is finished! Mom, hubby, dad and I all worked so hard to finish everything. I'm so glad the big stuff is done and all that's left to do is very minor.
I had a great doctor's appointment this past Friday. Of course they checked my cervix and because of the cerclage its still closed and of course the cerclage is still in place. This coming Friday is D day for the cerclage. It's coming out! At this point L.J. should be about 5lbs or so and he may make his appearance shortly after the cerclage comes out. Yay!
My doctor informed me that L.J. will be over 6lbs...that's a good size baby! I'm happy as long as he's healthy. My doctor even asked me what my plans were for my birthday (May 27th...I'll be 37 weeks). I asked him sarcastically...."I'm not sure but what should I do doc...lol" He suggested that if I go out that I go out near Holy Cross Hospital which is where I'll deliver. *Sigh* no offense but I want to enjoy my birthday not be couped up in the house! :( It's my LAST birthday in my 20's so I just want to be out on the town with my friends and hubby. But I guess going into labor and having a baby on my birthday would be an awesome gift! :) Either way I haven't made any plans so we'll see what happens.

came over here to reply just in case you don't see it over on my blog! Okay so from the last 4-5 stories of ladies on TB that I've read their removal was not bad so I wouldn't take my story into the majority :) I bet yours goes much better. Not that mine was horrible, just more uncomfortable than I was anticipating. Another plus it that it was really quick. For both stitches it took about 5 minutes total, tops....and of course totally worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck and like I said, I think I'm an odd case because most others I read on TB were not so bad. I bet your story is totally different. Good luck to you! Almost there!
