Roid Rage

Her nursery is done! Thanks to the magnificently talented and fabulous Ashley Cortese, http://smittendesign.blogspot.com/ I was able to finish decorating Take out's room (this is our daughters nick name). I'm obsessed with the flowers and initials over her crib. Ashley found these amazing flowers at Michaels and she just thumb tacked them to the wall. I love frugal creative design! The initials are also from Michaels. The wire thingy is from Ikea, so is the chandelier and mirror. Those poofy pink and purple hanging thingys were hand made by Ashley for my baby shower and repurposed for my baby room! This room is so calming I hope I can stay awake in here.

These belly pics should be the last, meaning I can not get any bigger than this. I'm maxed out. In fact I even lost two pounds, which I heard is normal for the last couple of weeks. About a week and a half ago, she dropped WAY DOWN and I can now breath a bit better and the heartburn has let up a bit, thank you Jesus! I'm also, as of a week and a half ago 50% effaced and 1cm dilated. Booyah. This baby is coming down the pipe! All in all I have had an extremely healthy pregnancy. No placenta privia, no gestational diabetes, and even no stretch marks (which I'm extremely surprised about)and baby as far as we know is healthy. I thank God for this every day, however, I have had a "hard time" being pregnant, meaning I've had almost every uncomfortable annoying symptom you can get, and to the max. This leads me to why I titled this entry Roid Rage, well as soon as this precious package dropped she cut off all circulation to my...ass, making my tiny, under control hemorrhoid issue an out of control raging burden, the likes of which I had no idea was possible. Some of my close friends/family members have heard the entire story, I will not expound anymore except to say I had no idea they could explode... I knew my pregnancy was unique when I was talking to a fellow mom and said "oh man, being pregnant is crazy, especially when your hemorrhoids explode!?" to which she responded with "umm what are you talking about, I never had hemorrhoids". Me- "me either, I was just kidding, I was speaking metaphorically". Scared Mom- "What are the hemorrhoids a metaphor for?" Me- "umm...your heart that is so filled with blood, i mean love for your baby and desire for her to be born?...". Now totally confused and freaked out Mom- "ok, yeah". Anyway my body is officially ready for her to exit, she has wreaked enough havoc from the inside, I'm now ready for her to do so on the outside. I'm 38.2 weeks pregernant and just waiting for her to come. David and I are freaking out excited to meet her. Oh those weird pics of David are his belly shots I took because I think he was getting jealous of all the attention my belly has been getting. And yes he is wearing my maternity pants because I was in need of a laugh and he obliged! Love you Boo! K hopefully this will be my last post before the bomb drops!!!! Love you all and please keep us in your prayers!
