38 weeks

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine being THIS pregnant. While I'm thrilled that she's cooked beyond the point everyone expected her too, I'm also ready to not be pregnant.


Baby size: leek. I hate when its a vegetable that I don't even recognize.
Any symptoms?  everything boobs down hurts. BP is starting to get high. heartburn is a raging bitch still. my brain is mush.
Favorite part this week? Another week without insulin
Least favorite part this week? WAITING!
Boy or Girl? GIRL!
Names? Charlee Danielle

The entire Summers household is over this pregnancy. I'm over it because it hurts. Danny is over it because he's ready to meet his little girl. Tucker is ready to meet his little sister. He's been strapping all dolls and stuffed animals into all of the baby gear. The bumbo, swing, rock n play, car seat... if it is meant for a baby he has tested it. We are all anxiously awaiting her arrival... which we have a pending date for!

March 14th this baby is getting evicted! While her daddy is not happy about the 6am arrival that day, we are excited to know that we don't have that much longer to wait. The 6am arrival doesn't bother me since I'm sure I won't sleep anyways.

A couple weeks ago I came very close to getting put on insulin at bedtime. After a week of better eating, the nurse and doctor were happy and I have made it through another week without it. I have to send my numbers again on Friday and then I'll be done monitoring it so closely. Obviously I'll have to see it through until my induction, but its nice to know that end is in sight too.

Other than that I'm just hoping my body is prepared to birth a baby. I'm 3 cm dilated, so I'm already ahead of the game compared to the 1cm I was when my water broke with Tucker. I'm hoping that helped the induction move quickly since those can potentially take a while. We have one last OB appointment Thursday morning along with a final ultrasound and an NST. I'm also scheduled to have an NST on Monday. Of course the ideal situation would be to skip all that but its doubtful.
