39 Weeks

Hello all!! Sorry it has taken me so long to update, but I have been pretty busy since the New Year! Well, I have little to tell, but what I can say is BIG!!

The past few weeks have been hard...Sam was in the hospital for a stomach bug on a Wednesday and I got the same bug the following Monday. We both were violently ill, but Sam had it a bit worse than me! After both going to the hospital and being given 2 bags each of IV fluids and some nausea medication, we were both released the same day. I tell you what though, it was no fun and took about a week to recover! However, all are healthy and happy now!

The nursery is basically finished. We have his bedding in and the walls are decorated in monkeys and dots. I think it adorable, but of course, Sam isn't a big fan. My feeling is, the more monkeys, the merrier!! I love it all! I also finished staining the bassinet a dark cherry color. That, too, is really pretty (if I do say so myself, and I do!!). So, as far as being ready for Maddux to come home, I think it is time!

So, Maddux is supposed to begin making his arrival into this world this Friday, January 29th. As it stand right now, I know I have to call the hospital at 6 pm. and plan on going in around 8 pm. Yes, I am being induced and am super excited, but anxious about it! I am not sure why she wants to induce, but I am completely okay with it! I think it has to do with the diabetes and until today, it also had to do with the fact that I had excess fluid in my belly. I was in the danger zone of 20-25 units of fluid when they want you to be under 20. However, today that all changed. Today, the report was that he weighs 6 lbs. 13 oz. and my fluid was down to 13 units. So, all seems well and my doctor is ready to induce any day. In fact, she wanted to change the induction date to either tomorrow or Thursday, but since my mom and dad aren't coming in until Thursday, I asked if we could still wait until Friday! So, Friday it is and I am ready! So, this will be my last pre-pregnancy post! You'll see Maddux in pics coming soon! Until then, I hope you all are great and I can't wait to show him off to everyone!

Thanks again for following me and I look forward to sharing him growing up with you all! Until next time! Happy almost February!
