6 days to go!!

I went to the Dr today and they said I was still 1 cm. YAY!!!! I am hoping that means that Jasper will stay in. Jeremy was very excited even though I have not been able to talk to him. He had to call his mom to find out because I left my phone on silent. I am hoping he will not be so nervous about everything.

When we got home from the Dr, I employed my dad to clean the house and to work on our pool. The rain messed up the salt in our pool and a bunch of runoff water got in it and our pool is turning green. It is gross. I have the best dad! He cleaned the shower, toilets, sinks and even vacuumed the whole house! I am also so lucky because my mom has been staying with me since Jeremy has been gone, just in case. I now have a clean house, even though it is not quite to my standards it is clean enough to make me happy. I have become really picky since I have gotten pregnant. I am trying not to be so bad but I am just glad it is done.

7 day countdown

There are 7 days until Jeremy comes home! I am hoping to continue sitting on the couch until he gets here. I do not really do anything all day besides look at facebook so I do not have much to talk about. Come Monday, as long as Jasper has not come, I will be going like a whirlwind. I will be doing everything to get ready for Jeremy to come home and hopefully Jasper in the days after Jeremy gets home! I have made a nice place here in the living room were I sit all day. I am enjoying it a little more but ready for Jeremy to be here. I am sure you may be tired of hearing that but I am so ready for him to be back! The countdown will continue tomorrow, maybe I will have something fun to talk about!

Belly Buttons!

I think I have been asked more than a dozen times if I still have a belly button...I do. I actually think I have the belly button that never ends. I was really hoping that I would be able to see the end of it but with four days to go, I do not think my wish will come true. Oh well. I can feel the end of it but I can still not see it. My mom said that she even remembers me having a deep belly button.

We are on the official countdown until we HOPE Jasper comes. There are 4 days until my actual due date but 8 until Jeremy comes home. Let's continue to hope for 8 so the countdown begins!!!!!

Sleeping...my new past time!

Wednesday and Thursday last week I felt bad and that started a new sleep pattern for me. All I want to do is sleep. Although it has taken me a couple of days to find the right position, I think I could now sleep all day if I did not have to eat. Today I woke up, ate breakfast, stayed up for a couple of hours, went back to sleep for a couple of hours, and I have gotten up and I am starving. I am hoping this is just what the baby will do too and it is may body just adjusting early?? Who knows?? I am really just glad that I found a position to sleep in that allows me to sleep for more than five minutes at a time.

The joys of pregnancy! I never thought I would enjoy a nap or good sleep so much.

I am really excited too today because my old roommate is having her baby today!! I am routinely checking facebook because her mom is posting pictures of what is going on. I am so jealous because almost everyone I know that was preggo has already had their baby and I am just waiting on Jeremy to get home. I can not wait to hold him in my arms and look into his beautiful eyes. Just seeing every one's baby just shows the miracle children are. Like the title of my blog, they are God's wonderful gifts and made perfectly!

See you soon baby Jasper!

39 weeks!! woo hoo!!

I am officially 39 weeks today!!! Now I just have to make it 2 more for Jeremy to be home. I am REALLY hoping I can. I am definitely feeling really preggo now. I think I could almost sleep all day if I just did not get hungry. I go to the Dr on Tuesday so we will see if we can possibly make it two weeks.

Dr. Appointment!

I went to my weekly dr appointment today and everything is still going great! I was still 1 cm but I was 25% effaced. Everything needs to be at 100% effaced and 10cm to start pushing but it can take a while to get to 100%. If you are wondering what effaced means is kind of means thinned out (your cervix). Sorry boys and girls if this creeps you out.

The dr even made the note in my charts that Jeremy would not be home until the 8th so maybe they will be extra nice when the check me and not cause too many changes. I hope I can keep up the good check up until Jeremy gets back!

No More Wal-Mart...

So, I am sure you guys all know that we are hoping that Jasper stays in a little later so that Jeremy is home. I have my "rules" Jeremy gave me so that I do not help mother nature any. Well, I thought I could handle Wal-Mart because I had gone to Target the day before but I guess I over estimated myself. By the time I left, I felt like Jasper was going to fall out. It doesn't help that they are redoing our Wal-Mart and everything is in a new place. But, I have been instructed that I am not allowed to go back unless I use one of those scooters!

I can not wait for you to become a daddy (actually I am going to try to wait until you get home)!!! I know you will be the best Dad ever!!!!! I better stop because I am a crazy, hormonal preggo woman and I may start crying.

I LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Heart beats and Hiccups

I forgot to talk about the cutest thing that happened at the doctor. I really think Jasper already likes my Dr because he is always awake and moving when we go to see her. The cutest and funniest thing happened when we went yesterday. While the DR was checking his heartbeat he got the hiccups. It was the cutest sound and maybe I am just crazy to get excited and be entertained by such simple things but it was so sweet.

I also forgot to say that I measured exactly 37 cm so he is still growing right on time!

Jeremy left this morning for work so I am just going to sit here for the next three weeks and do the least I can do so that Jeremy will be home. If you can think of anything for me to do, please let me know. I am already bored :(

1 down...nine to go

I went to the Dr today and we found out that I am 1 cm dialated and 0% effaced. My blood pressure was also amazing at 100/58 so I am not worrying about getting pre-ecclampsia. We were hoping that I would not be too much farther than this. We are still hoping that Jasper waits an extra week to come. We were talking after the appointment that if I can last till Jeremy comes back home from work that we will go walk 4 miles and do whatever we can to get Jasper out after he gets back. I REALLY want Jeremy to already be home and me not have to call while he is at work.

Jeremy really loves me! After my appointment today I was really hungry and he was not but he still took me to Milos for my cheeseburger and apple pie. It was so good. I have been trying to eat really well but all I ever want is food that I never eat and is so bad for me. I still have not gained any weight within the last month so I guess I am doing ok.

Pictures of the Jasper's Room

We have been so busy getting the house ready and having baby showers that I have finally finished the baby room. We are now ready for him to come any day or at least we have every baby gizmo that we have been told that we need. I am including pictures of everything, even the closet. I am kind of proud of the nesting bug that has bit me and EVERYTHING in the closet has a specific place besides some blankets because I think I have gotten 1000. So here it goes...

bookcase (Thanks Erin!!) and the wall hanging that Jeremy had in his baby room

Geez, we have been busy!

We have now completed all four baby showers. I do not think we could have had another one with out getting doubles of everything. We only got doubles of a couple of things. We went Monday to finish getting everything else we need from our registries. We ended up spending only $60 after we used gift cards! I was so excited. We even have more gift cards to use! Our baby is so blessed to have so many wonderful people in his life.

We have been getting the house ready for Jasper to come too. We had to get rid of our cat because she was not adjusting and I am sure she could tell something big was about to happen and I am just not sure if she could have handled it. I hope she finds a good home.

We have cleaned the house from top to bottom. Jeremy said he has never seen a house this clean in his life, even though I still see many things to clean.

Today we are making Gumbo for Bunco tomorrow! I LOVE gumbo and I hope everyone likes it tomorrow. It is his nanny's recipe and she is from Louisiana so it is authentic. I love making cajun food and I really enjoy eating it. I am so glad I married into a family who has a cajun background because the food is soooo good.

I went to the DR last Friday and got my Group B Strep test and they checked to see if there were and changes. I was not dialated at all and he said there was nothing going on so we will wait until Tuesday when we go back again. I am hoping for a little change but not too much since we want him to stay in an extra week so Jeremy is home. I have strick orders to stay on the couch with my feet up when Jeremy leaves.

Sorry for such a long post.

You know you are pregnant when...

You can eat a bowl of popcorn while it is sitting on your stomach and you do not have to hold the bowl.

Jeremy was making fun of me tonight while we were eating some popcorn. It is so convenient to have a belly big enough to rest things on now. The only problem is, when I am eating, I tend to drop food on my stomach.

Football!!

I was really excited to find out that we should be going to Josh and Jessica's for the Auburn game this weekend! I have missed seeing and taking to Jessy. We have both been so busy this summer that we have not been able to talk as much. I am just glad that Jeremy found a place to watch the game too.

WAR EAGLE!!!!!!

Well, my cat randomly got fleas. She is an inside cat so who knows where they came from. Jeremy came home and fixed that problem after I tried. Now we have to clean the carpet in the house before we move everything back in there. I feel like when we get the carpets cleaned then we will be ready for baby Jasper to come!

I am ready for Jasper to come and I know Jeremy is too! Although we want him to be about a week late, I can not wait to meet him. I can not wait to hold him in my arms and be able bring him to him new home!
