No News is still News I guess

Yesterday I went to the doctor and found out that there’s no progress. I’m almost at the 41 week mark and he wont let me go past 42. At this point I’m grateful for that. Getting pretty close to 41 weeks… and that’s making him nervous because the past couple  of times I went in I had high blood pressure. But he ran a bunch of tests and they all cam back normal. We even had an ultrasound and things look healthy. So aside from my blood pressure things have been mostly normal. At least I know that I wont be going past 42 weeks for certain and there is a really good chance that  I wont make it past 41.  Here’s to hoping that this is still a February baby and doesn’t change its mind to be a March baby.  I wish I could say time is flying but at this point… it seems to be dragging. I’m not trying to rush it. I mean we could have gotten an elective induction last weds but decided against it. Now we’re playing the waiting game and just trying to make the best decisions we can with the information we have. We’re as prepared as we can be. Yet… No BABY YET! lol. 

I know a few of  you have asked when you can see the LO for when after it is born… and I’ve said to give me a week to feel like a little less of a Zombie.  We also ask that you please call first. Our schedule is not very normal as it is (us being on Australian time and all) and it will be less normal after the Little One is born. I’d like to make sure we don’t have a bunch of people over here at once because our condo is pretty tiny (we have enough seating for 3 tops) and I am planning to be easily overwhelmed for a little while. So please call ahead so I can prepare myself.  

Also if you have had a cold or flu and have had any symptoms within 48 hours please do not come over. There will be plenty of time to see the little one once you are feeling better and I am more than willing to update you with photos until you feel better.  Remember I’m a first time mom so I may be just a little bit stingy with baby and  I’m going to be a little overprotective and probably make you wash your hands a bunch before you can hold baby . Once baby is older I’m sure I will let up a little more. But at that point I will still be suffering from these crazy pregnancy hormones that make me feel like a mamma bear.  Please don’t take any of it personally because it’s not personal.  For those flying out who want to see us.. we don’t have a spare bed but we do have a very lumpy couch that would fit one person. The floor is tile so I wouldn’t recommend trying to sleep on that. I’m not trying to scare anyone I just want you to be as prepared as I am.  Please be patient with me <3.  We love you all and can’t wait until we have the big news to share. I’m certain it will be soon. Likely any day now. 

Love & Hugs!

Please also remember to give Jake a lot of attention too. The poor cat is likely to feel a little neglected. And he’s family too!

 * ALSO remember when I’m at the hospital I probably wont be able to send each of you a link to this blog. We’ll be posting the photos on here so if you want to see them you may want to subscribe or hold onto the link and check it periodically. The subscription thingy is to your right.
