35 weeks 1 day. 34 Days or less to go.

As of last Wednesday I was 1cm and 75% effaced!!!!! Yay. I go off my meds Monday! Im also starting Evening Primrose Oil and Red Raspberry leaf tea Monday. Im hoping she comes in the next week or so. I’m am not sleeping at all. Cant fall asleep and cant stay asleep. I got my Special order Diaper bag yesterday and her specialty made care seat cover a few days ago so we are all set. I have her bag packed and everything is just waiting for her to get her. I have my bag semi ready, I still use a lot of the stuff so I have a list of what needs to go when its time. I hope I go into labor on my own and don’t need to be induced. I think ill go into it on my own because of all the Pre-term labor I have had. My Midwife said during my exam that she is really low. I feel her head on my cervix all the time. Im excited to meet her and scared all at the same time. I know the next few months will be crazy adjusting especially since it will just be me once Dh goes backs to work. He is taking 3 weeks off. When I have her his mom will stay for about 5-7 days the leave then come back for a few weeks when Dh goes back to work. I Have signed Ian up for Pre-school 2 days a week from 9-12 and he has tumbling like usual on Fridays. I want to keep him busy especially since its winter and freezing and Ian is high energy. This gets him out of the house 3 times a week with activities. I’m so worried about how Ian will react to his sister. He is to young to grasp what we tell him. He will be 2 on Thursday. I cant believe my baby boy will be 2. Where has the time gone? I have been so lucky and blessed to have been able t stay home and be there for everything but I can see it so clearly the first time I held him and we looked into each others eyes. It was only yesterday. Now he is a very independent, funny, loving, stubborn, wild child that I love with ever single piece of me. I know I will love his sister everyone says you have enough love so Im trusting that.
     Right now I am measuring a little small. 33ish weeks. I go for a u/s Wednesday. Im sure its nothing. Im just really tall so I think I have more room for the baby to hide in. I stay up at night wondering what she will look like. Im so excited to see her. We have a lot going on the next 4 months. We will find out of Dh gets to transfer back home. If so I get to go house hunting and find my forever home!!!! I pray and pray and pray we do. If not we are moving in march into a bigger nicer place. This town house is jus to small and I hate it. Hopefully we will know one way or another in a month or so what is going on.
     Im in the nothing sounds good stage of pregnancy. I am never hungry! Oh and I found out I am severely anemic so Im on stupid iron pills and they are checking my iron levels at every appointment. Blah blah blah. I hate iron it stops me up so so bad. Then I get mean, lol. Well That’s a update for now. I’m trying to make ians 2nd year of life book. I am hoping to make one book for every year they are alive from birth till 18 years. Then give it to them when they graduate. Its hard when you have latterly thousands of pictures to go through. I am having hard prints of all the pictures but only using like 20-25 pictures for the book.

So exciting, you\'re so close!! I never hit the nothing sounds good stage, I was ravenous all the time LOL I measured small too. I was measuring 35 weeks at 39w3d. Caleb was born 2 days later at 7lbs14oz and 20\" long so I\'m sure you\'re just fine!!

I am sure Ian will have rough days but I can\'t imagine that he\'d have many. He seems like such a sweet little boy. I envision him grinning from ear to ear when he\'s helping mommy!! *hugs* And happy early birthday little man!! Hope you get to meet your sister soon!!
