I've been bad again... Not updating my journal. Hopefully things will be slowing down a bit for me though because tomorrow is my last day of work. I start short term disability on Tuesday, 2/18/14 after the Holiday. I am so excited!! Though I don't think I'll have a full two weeks of rest and relaxation before Rella gets here. I went to the doctor yesterday and I am between 2-3cm dilated, 80% effaced, her head is engaged, and she is at the -2 position. Though I am slightly confused since being engaged and being at a -2 position contradict eachother. Apparently you have to be at a 0 to be engaged. So who knows... Anyway, when she was checking me she decided to see if she could stretch me all the way to 3cm. I am not sure why she did this but it hurt like hell. When she was finished she said I might have a little spotting. Well, when I got off the table blood gushed out. I threw out the little panty liner she she gave me and helped myself to a big pad. I also helped myself for five more incase I needed them. Good thing I did because though I'm not bleeding per se I am still spotting. So annoying! And I hate pads.

I asked the doctor if we were still on track for a due date delivery and she said there is a chance we'll make it that long but I'll most likely deliver early. And we are still not ready!! Though I don't think we'll ever be ready..... I am keeping my notebook near me so I can write down things I need to do before she comes. I have my hospital bad packed but will have several last minute items I'll need to throw in there.

I had my maternity photos done last Sunday. They turned out ok. I made the huge mistake of wearing mostly sleeveless outfits... My arms are HUGE and hate the photos when they are exposed. The photographer wants to come back and retake some photos where the lighting wasn't perfect and to do some outdoor photos so were having a second session on Monday. He is just starting out so he is learning too and wants to build his portfolios. I really hope the outdoor photos turn out. I'll be wearing a long sleeve shirt to hide my gigantic arms.

I can't believe my little girl will be here in most likely less than 2 weeks!!

Oh how exciting!! I plan on getting my maternity photos done soon also, hopefully, and I feel the same way about my arms... they feel so huge to me now and hating it lol!! I'm only 32 weeks, but I already feel as though I won't make it to my due date... very strong feeling my son will be coming a week or so early!! Keep us updated!! Would love to know when your little one gets here!
