37 weeks, 5 days

Leila has been given her eviction notice. She’s not listening very well, so I assume thats a sign of things to come. Haha. I started doing Nonstress Tests on April 1st to monitor her in there. I do them twice a week– Mondays and Thursdays.

They’re just kinda boring. I bring my phone in and text everyone. My mom came with me to the one yesterday. I was kinda hoping they’d say I was in labor! They didn’t though.. bummer. I had a massage yesterday thanks to my amazing mother in law. She bought me one for Christmas and it was great. I want more massages. I asked the massage lady if she’d press any labor inducing pressure points she knew of, LOL! She did and she showed me a couple. But alas, no labor for me!

My family is down right now for the National Bowling Tournament in Reno. My brother flew in from Florida, and my dad and mom drove in from Utah. I get Ethan and Andreah overnight and they’re excited– a sleepover in Reno! Haha. I pick them up in a couple of hours.

I am so ready to meet this little girl. I hit that stage of “Get this kid out of me.” Not because of the pain (that actually mostly subsided about a week ago, thank goodness!) or anything.. but because I want my belly back. LOL. I want to meet her, but at that same time, I feel she’s overstaying her welcome here! Hotel de mama’s belly has checkout approaching soon– SO GET OUT KID! I really cannot fathom getting to 42 weeks. I dont want to be pregnant for another month.

At my last appointment with the doctor, I was 50% effaced and 2cm dialated. He said she was head down, but she wasn’t “locked and loaded” cause he could push and she’d float up. C’mon baby… GET OUT! (If you cant notice.. I really want her out haha.) My next appointment is Thursday following my NST. I was kinda hoping for her to be out by Monday. Haha. I dont forsee that, but I can hope.

Jim’s birthday is on Tuesday and a lot of people (including him) are banking on her coming then. I honestly dont forsee it being Tuesday, though. I hope not, we just bought tickets for a Reno Aces baseball game! Haha. If she doesn’t come this weekend.. she needs to hold out till next Wednesday!
