Still Nothing

Well friends I haven't called the hospital yet. Im still feeling funky but I think its just my body getting ready for the big event. My contractions haven't been close enough together/apart. I dont want to get all the way there and then they send me home due to false labor.
We will just keep waiting.

Her Birthday is coming near

Well friends today I woke up and just haven't felt right so we may be heading to the hospital sooner then Sunday night. I am going to wait it out a little longer..... then call to see what they have to say.
I will keep you posted.
I just keep breathing :)
continue to pray for me

The Plan :)

Well friends and family i just got back from all the tests at the doctors office and the hospital.
Here is the Scoop:

First we went and did her ultrasound. She is looking good with a great heart rate as well as measuring ok. She is measuring to weight about 7-7.5lbs i can't remember exactly what the tech said. The fluid level was ok for the time frame. By the way had the tech check YES SHE IS STILL A GIRL :)

Then we headed across the road to the hospital where I got to have a Non-Stress Test.
Pretty much entails you laying in a bed with two monitors hooked up to you and you push a button every time you feel the baby move. Honestly she wasn't very active during that time but must have been enough to not cause concern.

So the plan of action is but is totally left up to GOD.
If she does not come naturally in the next few days we will head to the hospital Sunday evening to start the process. So she should be here sometime on Monday I HOPE

Just continue to pray for us as we wait Patiently on our little bundle.

Looking forward to sharing all the good news with you soon enough.
Love

Update: BABY BLOOM HAS NOT ARRIVED!

For those of you who have been thinking about us and just wondering what is up here is the scoop:)
We went to the doctor today and I am still the same as I have been pretty much for the last month or so. When told that Sad news I asked Where do we go from here. I dont want to be pregnant forever!!!!!
Here is the plan.
On Thursday I will go to the Waconia office to have an ultrasound done to determine if there are any problems in the womb such as low fluid, placenta problems and also check approx baby weight.
Then after they are finished with that I will go over to the hospital which is across the street to have a Non-Stress Test done. Pretty much what this entails from what my BF Apryl told me as she had many of these done in her pregnancy is that you lay down are hooked up to a fetal heart monitor and also a monitor to track your contractions and you just hang out until they feel they have gotten enough information.

After the tests are done the doctor will get the info that day and then will make the decision as to if she will induce labor on Friday or not. If the tests are normal and Baby Bloom is safe and sound in their then we will just wait it out over the weekend. Which is fine as she is also on call. But if she doesn't come by Monday we will be induced. So hopefully by Monday she will finally be here in our arms.

Ive been feeling great just dealing with some swollen feet which the last two days haven't been bad cause all ive done is sit in the recliner or lay down and rest. Hey I gotta get all the rest I can before she comes. I have not really got my burst of energy or cleaning streak yet so maybe that is to come.

We had a really good weekend with the weather not being very hot and just spending time with all the relatives on Brian's side of the family as his brother Eric and Girlfriend Shannon were here from Vegas. So ill post some pics of the fun.

So If your one of the friends who has constantly been worrying about me trust me when I know shes coming you will know:) I won't forget to call or text or even email you once she is here. But I hear alot of my time will be consumed with her:)

Anyways I shall post some pictures them im off to bed.
Leave me a comment or two.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers keep them coming.
I am hoping for a safe and fast and smooth delivery.

The Due Date is here

Well friends the Due date is here and as of 11am right now she has not arrived. From what I heard even if i went in right now I probably wouldn't have her today. Oh well forget that 5%.
I have been having some pretty strong contractions. My friend Apryl described them as pretty bad menstrual cramps and I would agree with a bunch of back pain to go along with it. I have forgotten what they felt like as I lay in bed today....... Well last night we went out to eat with Brian's family as we celebrated Bob's bday at a restaurant called Buca. I will post pics at the end. It was fun. We got to sit at the Popes table which is just a huge round table with a lazy susan in the middle to twirl the food around and it is surrounded by pope parifinala (sp). It was cool I kept myself preoccupided from the contractions by keeping my little nephew Caiden busy so his mom could enjoy most of the evening. We read books we colored. He barely ate and honestly didnt eat much either. then we had this huge wonderful cake.

We have had some pretty bad storms the last few days one rolled through while we were in the restaurant. It sure cooled it down here today though which is nice. No air. Well i should post these pictures and figure out something to eat for lunch.

We are having a big cookout at the Capra's with ALL the FAMILY. I just hope i dont go into labor while we are there. God knows and hopefully he will let me in on it when its time to go to the hospital. well enjoy the pictures. im sure there will be more from today up later
thanks for reading

Not here yet

Well to all of you who have been asking and wondering if Baby Bloom is here yet. Nope she isn't. She i guess has decided that being in the womb is much more comfortable then coming into this world. Three days until her "DUE DATE" whatever the heck that means. Especially when only 5% of women actually give birth on their due dates. We went to the doctor on Monday and everything was fine as well as I was still at 1 cm which was a bummer!!!!!

God knows when her birthday is going to be I just wish he would give me a clear sign:)
I honestly am scared to go into labor in the middle of the night.....
I thought I was the other night but it just was because I couldn't sleep as I didnt take my Ty PM.
Been sleeping a little better since Brian and I changed sides for the time being. He will be going back to the other side once she is born as I will want to be by the bassinet of course which is on that side.

Well lots going on this week as Brian's bro Eric is in town with his girlfriend Shannon. they should get here sometime today if they aren't here already We are hoping this little one comes so her uncle Eric can meet her before he has to head back to Vegas where he lives. Then Im not sure when he will get to see her.

Grandpa Bloom has decided that he will wait until she is born then come a week or so after which is good so that we can all get settled. I know he is very excited to meet his first Great Grandchild. As well as all the Grandparents who keep Calling:) I know they are on the edge of their seats. We will call when it is happening.

I have had many suggestions from friends to get labor started so we will see. I should get out of this house today and that is my plan to go hang out with my best friend Apryl and her little guy Isaiah to run around town and go to the doctor for his one year check up. I can't believe he is a year. It seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital holding his little tiny body in our arms.

Wow how time flies...... I can't believe in like Six weeks we will be moving to a whole new place. We are excited yet anxious at what our future holds. Brian has been of course concerned about finances but I believe where the Lord Guide he Provides as Grandpa Bloom always says.
Yes it will be very hard to leave all of our friends who we have developed such close relationships with and it will be hard to leave our family here. But we need to start our own family life. We will meet new friends and continue to have relationships with the old. Come on we have to have someone more then family to visit when we come up:)

Well i should get ready to head to Apryl's I am so sick at looking at these walls... Yesterday I got so bored that I pulled out the super Mario video game and played it for a while. I SUCK!

well talk to you all soon. When I know something you will know something.
Love
Always

Only 10 Days to go

I can't believe there are only 10 days to go.... where has the time gone. I have really been feeling the aches of pregnancy this last week..With just being really sore and my back hurting. Last night our power went out for a good hour or so and I thought I was going to die as it was SO HOT. But praise the Lord it came back on and we were able to sleep well.

Not much as been going on in my life these days since I am done with work. Just been hanging out at home not really feeling like going anywhere.
As we prepare for our move I have been packing some boxes here and there. It will save so much time in the long run. I pray that this move situation just gets all settled soon enough so I can have a peace that it will all just go as planned.

I think I might start on my T-shirt Quilt today. I had started it back a month or two ago and haven't put it together yet. So I think that is what I am going to go do.
Hope you are all doing well.
