Wow I can not believe I am in the 3rd trimester It seems like just yesterday I was telling Kevin that we needed to get a test… So Much has happened in the past few months, I know for one I have grown. Not just physically but mentally, spiritually and do I dare say I feel like I have grown up… My emphasis on God, my marriage and family has truly grown. I know that one the best gifts that Kevin and I can give Charly is a strong and loving marriage and a safe and stable home. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful and caring husband.
April 30th – Today my mom and my Cousin Shelly hosted a baby shower for me. I must admit I love all of the cheesy shower games, today we played hearts (Which is a lot like Bunco). Hearts was always a game we had to play at showers that’s my Grandma Leavitt was helping with. So it was important that we play hearts at my shower as a way to remember my Grandma; oh how I miss her. Charly and I got so many cute things.. I can not wait to start putting everything away in her nursery.
May 4th – 31 Week Dr. apt.. Oh My Goodness Charly is measuring big Dr. J says she weighs around 4.5 lbs I know what you are thinking that is not that big well at this stage she should be around 3.5LBS that is a whole pound over…
May 8th – For mothers day Kevin took me to Mimi’s for Breakfast one of my favorites and to get Pedicures. I love that Man!
May 13th – Just for the record shopping at 33 weeks pregnant is NOT fun… I’ve noticed when I am up and moving I have a lot the Braxton hicks contractions, and they are starting to hurt; my poor hubby had to drag me around the Mall (its usually the other way around)…
May 14th – Today My Sweet Sister in-laws and Mother In-law threw me a baby shower… They even did cheesy Baby shower games (Thank you Ladies). I am so blessed to have such fun in-laws. Charly even got her own SKP (I will post some time about the SKP’s) not to mention many other great gifts.
May 15th – Everyone at Church kept asking how much longer… And when I would say 7 weeks they would give me a look like “Oh honey you must be miserable”. I swear my belly is going to rip in two… Only seven more weeks I can do this… If Caroline Ingalls could do this, I can do this….
May 19th – 33 Week apt! She is now at 5lb 2oz. We love our big healthy baby.
May 27th – Making room for baby! Nothing like organizing and cleaning out cupboards and closet
May 28th - Maternity Pictures… Thank you Angela, Kevin and I had a blast!
May 30th – Charly kicked so hard today I wonder if she bruised a back rib… All I could do is laugh and cry at the same time. I Laugh because I love feeling her kicks and jabs, and cry because they are beginning to HURT.
Jun 2nd- 36 week apt. Charly is now 6lbs the good news is her head is no longer measuring big… She looks perfect!
Jun 4th – Crow Mt Hike, This year Kevin and I did not hike the Mt for obvious reasons… But watch out Next year we will be hiking.
The Davis/Pickett Cousins… Charly is going to have so many friends to play with.
The Pickett Girls… Yes its true that is my baby bump! Ha Ha!
June 6th – I am so tired of Kevin having to pull over so I can puke or always looking for the closest bathroom or garbage can… I am pretty sure my poor esophagus will never be the same.
June 9th - I am at 2cm and effaced 70%… So these Braxton hicks contractions have been doing something.
June 16th – I had another apt today I am now at a 3cm… I almost fell off the table when Dr. J, said she would induce me on the 27th of June; If Charly had not come yet… Holy Crap we now have a set date. All along I have been saying that I wanted a set date and now that I have one I am starting to freak out. Although Dr. J wouldn’t say, Kevin and I both got the impression that she thought Charly would come sooner than later.
June 22nd – I feel like a Pregnancy ticking time bomb…
June 24th – Today was my last day of work until after Charly is here… It was the strangest feeling knowing next time I go to work I will be a mom she will be here.. I will have held her in my arms, kissed her cheeks and looked into her eyes. Today was also our last OB apt… It will be the last time that we remember to grab the DVD (My Dr. does a ultrasound at every apt and its on DVD, I love watching her grow from a little “Smudge” to a baby that cant be seen in a single frame). I am now at 4cm and my water could break at any time… As we left Dr J, said well I will see you Monday if not sooner with a smile…
- Kevin and I though for sure Charly might be coming tonight, Lets just say thing started happening, I called the Dr’s office to see if I should worry or just relax. Well when the nurse got on the phone she asked me if I was having contractions (insert overly stressed and hormonal pregnant lady response) I just started to cry and said I have no idea… everyone says you will know but I don’t know, I am having cramping and explained the other things that were happening, She was so sweet though and said its ok, I will call Dr. J and call you right back. Well the good/bad news is I was not in labor but my body sure is getting ready for it… And of course we called Kevin's mom too, she and Dr. J said the exact same thing… that everything was going to be alright. I spent rest of the night sitting on the couch with Kevin staring at me and with the slightest move I swear he was ready to rush me up to the Hospital.
June 25th – Still Preggers…. Today my mom and I went and got Pedi’s, A girl needs to have cute toes when she goes into labor {wink, Wink}. Kevin also took me on a date… We went to Taggarts Grill. It is one of my most favorite places to eat because you can sit out on patio and watch the peacocks… Oh and they have the BEST pink cookies ever. After dinner we came home and watched The Back up plan… Although I am not sure watching a delivery like this right before you are getting ready to give birth is the best idea… All I can say is there will be no Pools or crazy ladies with a drum 
June 26th – Well today is my official last day being pregnant I am so excited to meet Miss Charly Lynn… I must admit though although I am excited I am sad to… I am going to miss feeling her little kicks and playing with her while I am at work (She would push on my belly and I would push back, then she would push a again.) I am going to miss knowing that she is with me and safe… I am going to miss laying in bed at night and have Kevin rub and talk to my belly… I know its sounds crazy to say but I am going to miss being pregnant.
June 27th – D Day! Ready or not here she comes!
