Kingston's ready for Little Brother

My little Kingston knows something is happening. I show him my belly and say "baby", which is one of the first words he actually learned and signed. He gets excited and kisses and lays his head on my belly every time. It melts my heart.

I wonder how long all the love will last (haha). Does he truly have any idea?!? I do notice how his face lights up when he sees kids play, especially my cousin Elaine's boys. I'm not worried I think Kingston will be a GREAT big brother. I see bits of his personality coming out and he is very friendly, funny, and creative. I think my two boys will keep each other busy.

Now update on Kingston's growth and health. He is growing at a healthy pace. He has his 15 month appointment on the 30Th. Uh oh, shots (hehe), he's not a fan. His big boy teeth, the canine and first molars are coming out on top and nothing really visible on the bottom. He's a drooling machine and a bit fussy at times but it comes with the territory. More updates later and I will most definitely update when baby #2 comes.

Prayers do get Answered

From my previous blogs you can see my sister was my stress and followed by my baby. After I got my two cents in, I decided to just have my sister marinate my experience and knowledge and leave it up to her to do whats best for her. I had a few close friends that reminded me that I'm a good sister to at least care and there's only so much I can do. I agreed and just wiped my hands of unnecessary worries and stresses. I prayed and prayed right after we had our talk and I think it went well. If I've convinced her to look at her life in a different way even if she doesn't do what needs to be done right away, I feel like I've succeeded as a big sister.

So the other worry I had was baby boy #2. I'm desperately want to make it to 37 weeks and I'm HAPPY to announce I'm at 36 weeks. I'm but a short 7 days away from my prayers to be answered. I had another doctor appointment today and I'm still 3cm dilated and haven't dropped much either. Sugar, blood, and measurements are all normal. I have minimal aches and pains, most importantly less contractions. I just want to be healthy and the baby to be healthy. I know Dr. Martin can't see him but she says my stats are great and his heart beat is normal so I'm VERY optimistic that I'll make my 37 weeks maybe even surpass that and labor will be quick and normal. =) Thank you God for hearing my prayers.

YouTube has Everything

So I was wishing I could check out my cervix and see if I've dilated some more so I googled dilated cervix and this video on http://www.youtube.com/. I'm sharing this video because in the end the lady says you can send the pictures to her. WATDAWAT?!?!? Why??? LOL, plus her props are funny. Look for the boobies in the background. Oh and I learned a camera function.

Then my search got me scared. I stayed on youtube and kept looking at "childbirth" experiences and when you're ready to pop one out yourself you shouldn't scare yourself. I shouldn't be scared' I've been through it already. But all this "every pregnancy is different" has got me a little paranoid especially since this pregnancy has really been a breeze. I'm way too uncomfortable and can't sleep, am I sure I want to make it to May? See crazy talk, of course I do. Hehe, okay good night, no more I'll just stay away from youtube and pregnancy searches.

May 17th Due Date, NOT!!!

I had a doctor's appointment today and she informed me that I'm 3cm dilated. She doesn't think I'll even make it to May. I am disappointed. I really wanted to make it to may but if he wants to come sooner than that's what he's going to do. I have a baby shower April 25th, which is 2 weeks from now so I hope I at least make it til then. I am not as prepared as I thought. I guess I should be glad that my work has signed me out this week. Kingston's room still isn't ready, but since baby brother will probably be sleeping with us for a few months I have a bit more time. Well next time I write I might have pictures up, but you never this one might hold on a bit longer, I know "...yeah right". Well I have to keep praying, women can be dilated for weeks and weeks. =)
