38 weeks and Waiting

I am now 38 weeks pregnant. We are still waiting on baby Cameron to make his appearance. Savannah was born at 37 weeks...so making it to 38 feels like eternity! I feel and look HUGE!! At least we are down to 10 days until my c-section.

Baby Update

So...I have noticed that I never seem to blog about this pregnancy or what is going on with the development of baby Cameron. Guess that's what happens to the 2nd child : ) Anyway, I am almost at the finish line. I will be 37 weeks this Sunday. 37 weeks is when little Savannah decided to arrive. We finally have everything ready for his arrival. Emotionally, not sure I am quite ready, but physically I am done! I am feeling pretty miserable these days! I am trying to keep my days busy so that they will go faster, but somehow they still seem to drag on. If I do not go into labor before hand, my scheduled c-section date is Wednesday Oct. 28 at 12:30pm. At least I know there is no more than 2 1/2 weeks left. Because of the swine flu, there have been changes to the visitation rules at our local hospital. Now, no one under the age of 18 is allowed anywhere in the hospital as a visitor. Therefore, Savannah will not be able to meet her little brother until I am discharged and return home. I was a little, no, a lot, upset about this at first. However, now I understand and agree with the new rules and am prepared to sleep and spend a little one on one time with daddy and Cameron while recovering in the hospital. Well, hopefully, I will be back on here soon with some exciting news of his little arrival. Until then.....

We had a surprise party for my mom's 50th birthday. I think we pulled it off well. She was definitely surprised! We had a wonderful turn out of family and friends. We had a wonderful dinner, delicious cake, and a great slide show of photos of my mom growing up. Happy Early Birthday mom! Hope you enjoyed your party!! We love you!

Putting in her heart

Picking out her bunnies new heart

We took Savannah to Build-Bear workshop today. She had a wonderful time getting to pick out which stuffed animal she wanted, the noise (she picked a giggle sound), giving her a bath and picking out an outfit (a princess dress with butterflies and bows to match of course....the bows were her idea and a MUST). She decided on a bunny and named her Lollipop. This was the first time I had ever gone to this place. It was so cute. She tucked Lollipop in her baby bed that is in her bedroom, swaddled of course, before bed tonight. It was very cute!!

Festivals and County Fairs

Love both of their faces!

The goat was getting ready to steal the cup out of their hand..

Her favorite ride...she LOVES to spin!

Exhausted from a day of fun!

The last 2 weekends we have taken Savannah to a Greek Festival and our County Fair. She has had a great time riding all the rides. Daddy has taken her on all of them since I can't go (being only 5 weeks away from my due date). At the fair she was able to see lots of animals and enjoyed her first elephant ear. She thought it was really yummy! I love the fall and all the festivals it brings. We have another local one we plan on taking her to next weekend! Fun..Fun!

The Love of Rain...

Savannah found a child's umbrella in the midst of my old dance costumes one day. She had been waiting over a week for it to finally rain so she could use it outside. She was so excited the morning I told her it was finally raining outside!

Quick Update!

Sorry I haven't had any pictures to share recently. Things have been very busy lately. Savannah has started school. She is doing a great job! We haven't had any tears yet and she really likes going. She calls it her "big girl skoo" That is how she says school. Very cute! She goes twice a week. I also watched my friends 2 boys (3 & 5yr.) two days last week. I had to go get a 3 hour glucose screening also last week b/c I didn't pass my one hour(this is the test they do when you are pregnant to check for gestational diabetes. I couldn't eat anything after midnight, then had to drink this really sugary drink and get my blood drawn every hour for 3 hours. I couldn't even leave the lab in between the blood draws. Anyway, it was NOT fun, but I did end up passing it!! YAY!! Savannah has spent the last 2 weekends with my parents. This has been a wonderful break. I am starting to get a bit uncomfortable and not feeling or sleeping the best so I definitely appreciate the break. We have been busy trying to get things ready for Cameron's arrival. I only have 6 1/2 weeks until my scheduled c-section. I am hoping when I go back to the Dr. on the 14th that I will know the actual scheduled date. Lastly, Savannah did a trial soccer class this past week. She was so cute! She had a great time and I really wish I had remember to bring my camera. I will try and take some this week and update the blog with them.
