Single. Night. so annoying! Oh, and Dan says I snore really bad! It must have something to do with me not being able to breathe!

40 Week Appointment-Dr Raul. -8:45-Friday, November 22-My due date!!!

We did the usual, blood pressure/weight/belly measuring. Blood pressure slightly higher, well for me at least, they weren't concerned-128/82. However, I was nervous and I couldn't breathe well when I came in since it's hard to eat and drink a lot! She checked for any dilation progress-still only a fingertip. UGH! She said that there isn't much that can be done at this point and everything is really myths and she will come when she's ready. She did say that she will not let me go over 41 weeks 6 days, so, the longest they will let me go before induction is December 5. I now go twice a week for Non-Stress tests. Basically, they hook me up to a monitor to monitor's baby movement and heartbeat for 40 minutes to make sure she's okay. I go back on Tuesday, November 26 at 2:30 pm. I had a breakdown when the doctor left. I'm just so frustrated. I would hope SOMETHING would be happening! I have to respect that she will come when she's ready. I just hope it's within the next week or so!

Baby thoughts- Honestly, the majority of the things we have to do is done. We still have the car seat to put in, I just have to pack clothes in my hospital bag. I need to look for some decor for the baby's room. I did find a few pictures that I need to get frames for. I also want to get a few white shelves, a rug and a window valence, that should be good. We want to get a book shelf but we are waiting on that for a bit. I feel good about everything. The house is clean, I have some grocery shopping to do, but overall, we are ready for her!!
