My 2nd to Last Post
So I guess I should have named this blog 39 Weeks because Miss Laila Marie decided to surprise us a week early. So here’s the timeline.
3/21: So I decided to finally get up and walk for 30 min. this morning and then sat on my exercise ball while watching American Idol, which I didn’t intend to be on there for 2 hrs but I got caught up in show and stuff I was doing on the computer.

As Week 38 Comes to an End
Doctor’s Updates:
Dialated: 0 cm :-(
Effaced: 60% :-)
Due Date: March 29th
She’s moved down even more since my visit last week. And my doctor predicted that I could possibly go into labor next week. I hope so :-)
My Updates: so she is still moving around like crazy obviously enjoying her last couple weeks in paradise as I am entering the days of extreme discomfort. My nights...
My Extreme Sweet Tooth
It’s weird this whole thing called pregnancy. During my first 2 trimesters I had no desire to eat anything sweet but this trimester I have to have something sweet with every meal, literally. Everyone is constantly asking my what I am craving and I think this trimester I finally have an answer, it’s frozen yogurt! I am obsessed with the create your own frozen yogurt places, like...
Update!
So I guess I’ll be writing more frequently since we are in the home stretch with only 2 weeks and a couple days left. I did have another doctors appointment today and although my doctor will not do an internal exam until 38 Weeks, which he is extremely adamant about, he was able to tell me whether or not the baby was in position for delivery and it seems like my little diva is anxious to get...
Full Term!
WhooHoo! So I’m officially full term this month and this is when the fun stuff is suppose to start ::insert hint of sarcasm:: I’m pretty much as ready as can be for baby. Laila’s Corner is finished and all her newborn and 0-3 clothing are washed and ready to go :-) As far as how I am feeling physically I’ve only noticed recently an increase in being uncomfortable. Sleeping...

Week 34
Well today was my last day of work and marks the beginning of my maternity leave! WhooHoo!!! I know you all didn’t expect me to actually work up to my due date!?!? Anyway, I actually have gotten a lot accomplished in the past weeks. My hospital bag is halfway packed I completely sorted through everything from the shower and I washed all her newborn and 0-3 clothing and other things that will...

Outta the Double Digits!
Well we’re down to single digit weeks. Only 9 more to go!!! I’ve really been falling off with this blogging thing but it’s been for really good reasons. These last few weeks are the final count down so it seems like there isn’t enough hours in the day to make all the calls and make all the necessary appointments, so enough with my excuses for not blogging and on to...
Ready for the Final Stretch!
Well today marks the beginning of Week 28 which is the official first week of the 3rd trimester (please insert dramatic sound bite). Well I’ve definitely had a heck of a few weeks. I’m just getting over a cold that thankfully only lasted all of 3 days and the Holidays are officially over :-) So it’s back to regular store hours and a semi-regular schedule. I’m actually...

It's all becoming a reality
So I’ve started planning for the baby show (which is set for January 14th). I love party planning so this should be really fun. I am actually becoming more and more excited for baby with each passing day. I think I’m just excited to see who she looks like and what she sounds like. You have this thing moving all day inside of you and you have such an immediate connection with someone...
So How Many Weeks Am I?
Well either I have been extremely busy and lost track of the weeks or my doctor’s office has miscalculated but based on my visit last week I am actually a week ahead of what I thought so I am actually 25 weeks as of today :-) Last weeks appointment went pretty normal…nothing was out of the ordinary and I only gained 2 lbs in the month which I was extremely proud of since I ate...
Long Time No Post
So to my surprise I was slacking a lot more than I thought because I haven’t updated since Week 19…Well as of today I am in Week 23 (Almost 6 months!) So what’s been going on? A lot actually, everyday is a guessing game when it comes to eating, I eat and say a little prayer that baby agrees with it because if she doesn’t it comes right back up within the hour and that weak,...

Week 19
So this week was pretty fun it was Mike’s birthday week and the week we found out the sex of baby, which if you haven’t noticed was a girl so now we can call “baby” she. Let’s see….there wasn’t much excitement this week outside of finding out the sex. Her kicks are becoming extremely noticeable now and I am starting to feel them while I’m standing,...
Drumroll Please....
Well I initially did not want to know the sex of baby but it seemed that EVERYONE around me was itching to know so I gave in……………………..so I guess everyone should get use to having a mini me running around next year because……………..It’s a Girl! (God give me the strength, LoL)
This Picture is a close up of her face at...

Annnddd, We Have Movement!
For those who read, I think Week16, I mentioned that during my flight to Atlanta I felt little popping sensations which I was not sure if they were movement or not. Well this week definitely proved it was movement because baby is certainly an active one. Usually there is a lot of movement at night when I’m laying down watching tv or trying to go to sleep sometimes it feels like the baby is...
Week 18 (aka Hell Week)
This week was by far the worst week I’ve had so far. From the never-ending nauseous feeling to the extreme side pains and weak feeling. Well let’s start from Monday, I went grocery shopping for my breakfast smoothie ingredients and lunch meals but I woke up with an awful pain in the middle of my right side. Since I’m not one to immediately freak out about things like this I just...
Week 17
Well week 17 was interesting. I finally have to completely sleep on my side which seems to be causing some problems because I am not use to it. I wake up a lot during the night to switch positions and to use the bathroom. I usually wake up with either my arm being “a sleep” or a little discomfort in my hips which usually goes away. I can only imagine how annoying this is going to be...

Week 16
Alright, Alright, Alright! Week 16 comes to a close and bring on Week 17. Well this week was quite hectic for me I traveled to Tallahassee for 2 weekends in a row so working a 2 day work week between the 2 was pretty insane. Buuuttt it was SO much fun and I think “Baby Junior” enjoyed himself (again I don’t know if it’s a boy I just refer to the baby as he or she...
F.Y.I
I’ll probably upload a photo this weekend, but I don’t think it will be much because shockingly I don’t have much of a bump it still just looks like I’ve eaten too much for lunch or just gained a couple pounds around the mid section. Also I have another sonogram appointment on Nov. 11th so I’ll probably upload the 2nd picture of baby then :-)
Weeks 14 & 15
Only a few weeks in and I’m already behind but October is retail holiday prep month so bring on the longer work hours….anyway, here we go…
Weeks 14 was pretty uneventful, so I’ll just move on to Week 15. I had my second doctors appointment this week and baby nemo (as my friend Melody called the baby) is still swimming. Since my last visit, which was a month ago,...
