Almost time!

I go to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully with some good news coming from it. I am going to try to convince the doctor to induce me next Thursday or Friday Dec. 15th or 16th. Unless of course I go into labor before that. I am so ready to be done working because I am so tired and I don't feel like I am giving my everything like I should be.

I don't have a laundry room so I fold my clothes in the guest room. I need to get on the ball and get the clean clothes put away so my mom will have some place to sleep when she comes. Then I need to bring the bassinet into our bedroom and move around a few things, then I think I will be done and ready for Kastyn's arrival. I seems to make it through the day but at night I just get more miserable each day it feels. Justin is doing a great job helping around the house and helping me off the couch and things like that when it's hard for me to get up.

So Tired

I had so much fun on Saturday with Tennile. We baked and baked and baked. Well, we really only baked chocolate chip cookies everything else we just made but it was still fun. My feet were so swollen by the end of the day. We made peanut butter balls, rice krsipies, peanut butter fudge, white choc. pretzels, choc. pretzels, and choc. chip cookies. Whew! that was alot. I also have some pinwheels and sausage balls to make before Kastyn gets here so I have stuff for my company to eat.
Everyone is saying that I will have Kastyn on Saturday because that is when there is a full moon. We shall see, I am feeling very miserable and so tired. I am trying to get my classroom ready for a sub and my house ready for company. I am almost done with both. Justin says I'm nesting and he doesn't like it because he has to help around the house..LOL!! I don't think I am but I guess time will tell.
I can't wait til Christmas I bought Kastyn a pretty little dress to wear and I bought Justin and I new shirts to wear so I can take our 1st family picture in front of our Christmas tree. I love the smells of Christmas also. I can't believe it is only 20 days til Christmas. YAY!! I can't wait.

All things Christmas!

I am getting soooo tired and not wanting to come to work. I know I can tough it out but I am just so tired.
My Christmas shopping is done and has been for quite some time. Now, I am just waiting on Kastyn to get here so we can celebrate her 1st Christmas this year. Justin and I's relationship has really improved in the last month. I am not sure what it is but I love it. He can't wait for Kastyn to get here either and she already has him wrapped around her little finger.

This Saturday my friend Tennile is coming over to bake goodies with me. We are going to be making lots of good stuff including, peanut clusters, peanut butter balls, white choc. pretzels, sugar cookies (I think), rice crispy treats, and lots more. It will be a fun Saturday spent with a great friend. Then that evening her husband and kiddos will be coming over for supper and great fellowship.

I want to see the Christmas lights around Branson. I can't wait for Justin to take me around looking at all of them. It is always one of my favorite parts about Christmas. Ok so I love Christmas but there are parts I don't like. Like making sure I am pleasing everyone and noone's feelings are going to be hurt, but I have recently started thinking that I have to do what is best for my family, (Justin, me, and Kastyn) and if I end up hurting someone's feelings so be it.

I want to start my own family tradition of being at home on Christmas day, so my kids can open presents on Christmas morning at home. This is important to me and I hope my family will understand.

It's almost time!

WOW!! It is getting so close to Kastyn being here. 2 1/2 weeks or less. We are anxious for her arrival. Justin and I have been working and working on getting things ready for her arrival into this world. I am 3 cm dilated and 60% effaced as of Tuesday at my doctor's appoint. I go back next Thursday the 8th so we shall see if there is any change. I sure hope there will be.
I had a bad experience at the doctor's visit last time. We had a new nurse, which I was bummed about because I love the nurse that has helped us from the beginning. She is amazing. Anyway back to the bimbo nurse we had. She was looking at my pee sample and had me worried because she said there was blood in my pee. My heart dropped and I was scared that there was something wrong with Kastyn. Next, the bimbo I mean nurse, felt around my belly to see if she could feel Kastyn. She felt her towards the top of my belly and placed the heart monitor thing there. No heartbeat, but of course she couldn't hear it, that was Kastyn's butt. I mean this lady was special. I told this lady that that was her butt. She finally moved the heart thing down a bit and then had me worried because she said the heartbeat was low. Finally, after finding the right place to find a heartbeat Kastyn hearbeat was 148-155 and was perfect. Thanks so much bimbo for making me worry. Now back to my pee sample and still being scared about that. The doc came in and said everything looked good. I asked him about my pee sample and he said he was going to the lab to check it. Came back as nothing. He said the reason there was some blood was because I had effaced and dilated.
Now my question is why couldn't the bimbo nurse just take my pee to the lab and find out nothing was wrong before letting me know and having me worry. Gesh...she wasn't very smart. I sure hope I get the good nurse next time I go in there or I may throw a fit..LOL!! All in all it turned out being ok but had me worried. I am ready for Kastyn to be here so hopefully it will be soon.
