Can you hear me baby boy in utero???

Another doc appointment, no dilation!  What is it with this little guy?  First, he wants to come into the world early,  now he's taking his sweet time.  I know I'm not full-term, 5 days away, but the scenario I feared is now upon us...We always knew that my due date was on the one weekend my doctor was not available, the nerve of his daughter to schedule her wedding on this very date:)  But, we figured, what are the odds of him actually coming on this date?  Now as the date approaches, I'm not so sure!  I'm starting to get a little nervous and anxious that this child is going to finally decide to make his way into the world this weekend.   

If I do make it past the weekend, we have a tentative c-section scheduled for 9-09-09 (I do admit that the date is unique, and certainly easy to remember).  I will go see the doc again on the 8th to first see if anything has progressed by then...If not, we are scheduled the next day first thing in the morning at 7:30am.

So, basically I will be having some long talks with our little one over the next couple of days.  Either he needs to get things in gear real soon, like within the next three days, or else keep doing what he is doing and wait a little longer until the 9th.  Can you make such deals with an Armenian-Italian:)

Whatever shall be, we just want our baby to arrive safe and sound to us soon...

New Easy Post-Preggo Hairdo

I made it to my hair appointment today.  So glad to finally add a little color and cut off most of my thick-dull mane.  I'm hoping this will make life easier once the little guy is here.  A much needed pick-me-up after the past two rough days I have had.  Check out the car seat in the background, it still looks so foreign to me...Just wait until a baby is in there! 

What's Up Doc?

So, nothing much to report.  Went for my weekly visit today, and there is nothing going on down below yet:(  Not even a hint of dilation!  I'm sure every pregnant woman feels this way towards the end, but I'm really not sure how I'm going to get through one or two more weeks.  I am having Braxton Hicks contractions more often now, and I'm certain there is no more room for this kid to grow!  Only time will tell...

38 weeks and counting...

I'm so ready to have this baby boy.  Clint, however, would like baby Kasparian to wait another week.  He says it's because he has a big job next week, which I know is partially true, but really I know it's because he's so excited about tickets he got to see Billy Corgan perform in an intimate setting next Friday.  My husband is a Smashing Pumpkins addict, what can I say?  

Anyway...Things I will not miss about pregnancy:  extreme heartburn, arthritic hands, bloody/congested noses (gross I know), and frequent restroom stops (I can't even make it through a movie anymore). What I will miss:  Being Pregnant, I still can't believe I've been given this amazing opportunity!

Well, here it goes...I'm not sure if it's hormones or inspiration from seeing a recent film, "Julie and Julia", but I've decided to start a blog about my rookie adventures through motherhood.  I'll apologize in advance for my grammar and spelling, I've always known my destiny not to be a writer.  I, however, will promise to try my best to keep this blog updated with notable daily activities and pictures in an effort to keep all those interested updated with the latest Kasparian tales.  

I hope you enjoy!
