An Official Eviction Notice

So Tuesday I went in for my usual bi-weekly ultrasound and doctor's appointment, and other than Abrie being so tired from being awake with me all night long at work and not wanting to cooperate, everything was good. She was cracking me up in the ultrasound. She was so tired, that she didn't care that the ultrasound tech was pushing right on her hand trying to get her to move her fingers, but she finally gave in after about 10 minutes! Anyway, I met with the doctor afterwards and he checked me and I was still high and only dilated to a "1". I started crying! I'm sure that only having 3 hours of sleep before my appointment contributed to the crying part, on top of being hormonal, pregnant and friggin' sick of having this tube in my back, basically I'd had it. On top of things, my long term antibiotics that I've been on obviously weren't working since I have a UTI, which is not common for me. I blame it entirely on my tube, which had been looking pretty disgusting lately!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the doctor just took pity on me, and went ahead and scheduled my induction for this coming Tuesday May 17th. I'll be exactly 39 weeks! It's kind of weird planning on when you're going to have a baby, but I guess she could still surprise us ;). He also put me on a new antibiotic and it has since cleared up my UTI (I can tell just by looking at my tube), so things are looking up! I'm so excited for her to finally be here!

At my appointment today, Abrie weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz (+/- 6 oz), and via ultrasound came is measuring right on track at 38 weeks, 3 days. My stomach measurement on the other hand says I'm 41 weeks pregnant...I believe it! Also, according to my doctor's office I've only gained 5 lbs this whole pregnancy, I'm thinking they have their numbers wrong or they're counting from when I had my first appointment, because according to my scale I've gained at least 12 lbs. Either way, not bad considering the water I'm retaining these days because it's warmer outside (hooray!!!).

In other news, we've been busy little bees trying to get the house ready to sell. Well, mostly Brian and his Mom have been busy, and I just do what I can, what they'll let me do ;). This week they planted a flower garden in the front, painted the shutters and mailbox, and hung bigger house numbers on the house as well as put a treatment on the lawn. Inside the house, they painted the hall, living room, kitchen and laundry room. There are new baseboards in the hall, living room and kitchen! It looks amazing! We've also started the decluttering process and have been boxing things up and storing them in our storage unit. I'm really hoping we can sell our house! I just pray that it's the right time and right house for someone right now! Anyway, we've had plenty to keep us busy while waiting for baby girl to get here. My sister comes in town Sunday night, and my Mom comes up on Thursday! Yay!!!
