Announcing the Beautiful Baby Boy
Hi, this is meloknee, on behalf of Bugg. I'm here to announce the birth of TBD (since bugg has yet to nickname the little guy, he will be known as To Be Determined in the meantime).
TBD was 8 lbs. 2.5 oz. and 21 inches. He is healthy and adorable.

the god's have spoken
I would like to apologize about this turning into some sick, all I do is talk about baby blog, lately. I will return to normal soon, I promise. With that said, here's the baby scoop.
Since last weekend I've been having lots of lovely contractions. They
are making me highly grumpy and uncomfortable. Yesterday, I went to the Dr. and when they hooked me up to the monitor I was having them every couple of minutes. Sadly for me they are semi-strong but not doing anything, except keeping me from sleeping or being a nice person. I have started retaining water in my feet and my blood pressure is starting to go up a little, not to mention that baby is quite large.
My Dr. has decided that he must come out, so on Wednesday the 29th at 4 pm I will be having a c-section. Sigh. I was hoping to avoid it but he doesn't seem to want to come out on his own. Apparently he is a little bit too cozy and warm in there.
Damn me for having such a hospitable uterus!

sentimental fool
I am a little sad today and I feel really stupid about it. We recently acquired an ADA mini-van (God I can't believe I drive a friggin mini-van) with a ramp and all for Little Bear and his chair.
It's pretty cool, but it meant parting with my beloved Ford Explorer.
We took her in for a little oil change before we put it up for sale and the news came back that she has some kind of obnoxious leak that would cost about $1500 to fix, so instead of fixing it up or selling her to some unsuspecting sap, we decided to donate her to charity.
Last night we dropped her off and it was like she knew! She stalled on the way there and died off as we pulled into the driveway. I actually cried some as we drove away leaving her there! Stupid old girl I am. But she was awesome. She lasted through a million trips to the dog park and a million more trips to Little Bear therapy and school and she even took us safely to Arizona and back. Did I mention the push bar on the front that could be used to help stranded motorists or intimidate people who pissed me off. :)
I am happy to report that she will buy a whole lot of cat food and litter for all the kitties at Whisker City. So long old girl.

can't go on
Prepare to be whined at. I'm so over this. I can barely drive anymore. The steering wheel rubs on my belly. I can't get comfortable anywhere. I only have two shirts that fit. I can't sleep. I keep bumping my belly into things. Waaa.
I'm thinking today will have to be the day because I have a big project due at work, I didn't have time to shave my legs and I forgot my cell phone. That's gotta be some kind of Murphy's Law waiting to happen, right?

i'm back, for now
So here I am back at work. Actually I came back yesterday but I didn't have time to blog or anything because I had a lot of catching up to do. I'm off the drugs, back to my normal schedule and I just got back from the Dr.
She said the baby is doing great and next Thursday we will make a decision about what we need to do and when. This baby is already over 8 pounds, she thinks. Gah! And at this point they gain a half a pound a week so she doesn't want me to go much longer or he'll be ginormous.
I’m at 37 weeks and baby is over 8 pounds. To put things in perspective, Little Bear was born at 37 weeks and he was 6 pounds. If I were to go to term the baby could potentially be about 10 pounds. This is why gestational diabetes sucks.
Start sending those “out baby, out” vibes now, please!!

still bored
Thanks all for your words of encouragement and I promise I am resting so much that I am exhausted from doing so much nothing! And I swear the contractions only start up if I walk around too much, so I really am being good.
For now I am still on bed rest but I am allowed to work from home 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon as long as I only sit at the computer or talk on the phone. I am also allowed one outing per day - mostly so I can go to Dr. appointments, wheeee!
The good news is that on March 15 I will be far enough along that I can stop taking the pills, go back to work, go to the dog park, whatever I want to do and if the baby comes on his own great. The down side is that if he doesn't come on his own by April 1, I have to have a c-section. They suck, trust me I had one with Little bear.
So after the 15th I would appreciate you telepathically sending the baby the following message - Come out, Come out, wherever you are!
Thanks! :)
