38 weeks....

So yesterday we had our 38 week appointment. But I have to start out with how our day started..... Gabe is working days for the next few weeks because most of the people from work are out on the ship. And because I am due so soon they didn't send Gabe out. So yesterday morning one of the guys from his shop came and got him for work and that way I could take the car and pick him up for the appointment. Well without knowing it Gabe took his keys (which have the car key), and so when I got up and started to get ready I thought I should make sure I knew where the keys where at. That is when I couldn't find them and then couldn't get Gabe on the phone. I finally got him about 20 mins before I wanted to leave. But anyway to make a long story short, Gabe used one of the guys cars came home with the key and then we both went over to the base. Dropped off the other car and then got to our appointment just in time. So yeah yesterday was a little crazy but all worked out in the end and gave us something to joke about. Anyway, at the doctors they checked me and I was 1cm, so I let them strip me. Not much has happened since that but my back has hurt more and today I have had a lot more mucous then ever before. Oh and Adeleah has been dropped/dropping since a few days after my last appointment, so the last two weeks I haven't hurt so much in my ribs:) And we found out that if I am late they will/can induce me at 41 weeks. Which if that is the case I will go for it because my mom will be here March 10th-17th and I need to have Adeleah before she leaves. The only thing we don't like about it is I will be 41 weeks on Friday the 13th. I am still hoping that things will just happen on there own and soon:)
Well that is about all that is going on here right now. I'll let you all know if something happens.

36 weeks.....

I am now at 36 weeks and have one month left to go til my due date (or 28 days)! I am doing good but very much ready for Adeleah to come and to not have her in me anymore. :) I think that by next weekend things can start getting going and hopefully I won't make it to my next doctors appointment on the 19th. We went in for a check up on wed and all was good, she is head down and they think she is about 6 lbs and in the higher oz's. Besides that I can't really say much more because with the navy they don't actually check you until 38 weeks. So yes I don't go back in til the 19th and after that (unless I go over my due date) I won't be checked until I am having her. Isn't the navy great! But I can't say too much because at least it is all free, no bills to pay for having her. So if anyone has any tips for bring on labor I would love to know them.

So besides the waiting game that we are now doing. Tuesday night the Young Women gave me a baby shower, that I didn't know about. It was good and we got some more things to help us be ready. So to all the leaders and girls, Thank you for a good night and for the gifts.
Today we got our tax's back!!! And so I order our cloth diapers and my "g" tops for nursing. Next week I am going to go and get a lot of the things we still need, which when I made the list up Gabe couldn't believe how long it was. He is still getting used to the idea that she will need more then a few outfits a week. More like a few a day:)
Thats about all thats going on here, I will let everyone know if anything happens. And everyone just think happy thoughts of labor for me:)
