My Mawmaw died two weeks ago. And I'll be having my baby within the next two weeks. I am so exhausted and really don't feel much like explaining everything right now, but for those who are checking up on me, now you know the basics lol.

My last appointment was on Friday, and I'm fingertip dilated and 50% effaced, Emery is at -2 station. We'll induce at 39 weeks if I make it that far. I will be officially full term at 37 weeks in a few minutes. My next appointment is this coming Friday, and we're only taking it a week at a time because of my contractions.

I had a little Tigger today for Halloween, and taking her around trick-or-treating this weekend about put me into full labor. I'm glad for the break right now. Of course, while I cheat on my gestational diabetes diet and eat her candy. Not all of it, Dusty's bringing me Taco Bell. :)

Miss Emery had me visiting Labor & Delivery again yesterday. I didn't feel her move much at all during the morning or afternoon, so I put in a call to the on-call doctor and she wanted me to go in and get hooked up to the monitors for a while just to make sure everything was ok, especially since it was such a drastic change in my baby's activity. Well, everything was just fine! I guess she was just having a slow day, but her heartbeat was great. They even did a sonogram and measured my fluid and it looked great. Emery is finally head down! Yay for confirmation! I was pretty sure she was head down anyway, and she has definitely dropped. Today has been torture walking around her head. 

Tomorrow is Mischa's first day of preschool without me! Last Wednesday, we went and sat in on a day just to get an idea of what they did and if Mischa would enjoy it (she did!), then Friday we joined them on a field trip to the new Children's Museum. It was a great time, although not exactly easy at almost 8 1/2 months pregnant. But anyway, tomorrow is her first day without me, and Dusty is going with us to drop her off. 

Tomorrow also marks 34 weeks! Officially 8 1/2 months. And tomorrow night, Autumn is coming over to work on the rest of the "sprinkle" plans. Hopefully that goes smoothly and we can just have fun with it. Last week, we spent the afternoon in TH getting supplies, and I think all that's left is food stuff. It's going to be pretty :).

Dusty just found the dog. Evidently he snapped yet another cable and was gone, so he went out to look for him. I guess he didn't travel far! He was just glad to be loose like all his doggie friends. I guess we'll just have to let him out in the morning and see what happens.

33 weeks with Emery
40 weeks with Mischa

Sooo... this kinda freaks me out a little. BUT 4 weeks from today and I'll be considered full term :)).
