Appointment

today i had an appointment. all pretty much the same thing except i am now 1 CM DIALATED! (a generous 1 as the doctor put it) so i'm hoping that means something will start to happen soon. we really want to meet her. I have another appt set up for next monday if nothing happens by then than we will be scheduling an appt for introductions in otherwords inducing. i'm hoping that she comes before next monday we'll see how everything happens :S well just wanted to share the good news... more to come!

Walking

So i've been getting impatient for sawyer to come... i know i have 3 more days before the due date but can't she just come now geez... Micah is back so me wanting her to wait is all over.

well in hopes of coaxing her to come early and also because casey and i like them, i've been taking a walk about every other day. i was just going around the surrounding neighborhoods but i have been reintroduced to a nice trail just on the outshirts of town called the cowboy trail. casey has lots of fun because i let him off the leash. i like it because there usually isn't a lot of people and with all the trees and the river next to the path it's just really peaceful and beautiful. a nice place to think in take in God's beauty!

I tried to get the river to the side but the sun was at a weird point and it glared and i couldn't really see what i was shooting :)

the path winds through a bunch of trees i just think it's lovely!

you can kind of see casey having fun to the side(he's the black spot just off the sidewalk). he runs and smells everything but he never goes too far... if he does he gets yelled at and told to come back!

I'm very excited to take sawyer on walks here!

Drill week

So just over a week till the big date and since micah is in hastings for drill till the 24th i've been trying to make sure i have everything in order. i've cleaned the apartment some and finished putting sawyer's room together. i have the hospital bag packed and i've practiced putting the car seat in the car. it's getting very exciting i just hope she doesn't decide to come early so micah won't be gone, but he was able to drive his own car instead of going on the convoy with the rest of his unit so he'll be able to speed home to us if need be. we'll see what happens and what i can accomplish this week and whether or not i'll be up for working because i'm scheduled to work through friday. i would like to to have a little extra money and though i've been feeling really good for the most part i keep getting this weird pressure in my chest that makes me kind of dizzy and it's hard to breathe. i didn't go in to work on friday because of it.
it's a scary yet wonderfully exciting feeling of thinking about little sawyer and what she'll look like and how she'll act. i finished the bumper pad today (i forgot to sew in the middle ties :S) and i was just staring at the put together crib. i'm a little afraid of being able to provide for all her needs and being a good mom but meeting her is over-shadowing it.

Update

Well i've been going to weekly doctors appt and they've all been going well. blood pressure is still perfect. no dialation yet but i have 2 more weeks but the doctored said i'm about halfway effaced so there is progress. still feeling pretty good though i've started to have some nausea and shortness of breath but doctor send they are common things and not to worry. they usually don't last very long. i've also been getting tired a lot more but again very common. doctor said that sawyer is in the right postion, with her head 'very' far down. it's just becoming more and more real that she's on her way. last week i dropped (my belly is much lower) which kinda makes me look bigger but i haven't really gained much. micah is getting nervous with all his drill coming up pray that God times this labor well and that micah can focus on training while he's there.


this is a bad upward angle making me look more bottom heavy than i truely am (so don't think wow because i really have tappered off in the weight gain thing). forgive me i wanted to get a picture up since i haven't for awhile and if i keep procrastinating it could be too late! so it didn't turn out the best plus i'm really tired looking. boo o well :P love you all
