My name is Eden

I’m really getting nervous. I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m supposed to be sleeping right now, but I really can’t sleep. I go into the hospital at 3am! I’m going in and coming out with a baby. That’s so intense. I’m so nervous, scared, excited, happy.. Everything in the book. My mom came into town today. It’s nice having her here. She helped Steven do a few last minute things around the house, and then we went to Target and Frys. Now, she’s at my sisters.. and Steven installed Ezras carseat. This is all becoming real. I’m really about to be a mother. I’m so nervous. I really hope it’s a fast labour. I do not want to be labouring my son for 34 hours.. and I really don’t want a C-section. Keep me in your thoughts today, friends. Oh, and facebook friends… Don’t mention any of this there yet. I’m planning on announcing his birthday after he’s born with a very cute picture. 

According to thebump.com, I should stop smoking now and tell Steven I’m pregnant.. Interesting.. I wonder how he will take this news.

here’s a sneak peek of our maternity session. This is the only one she uploaded. I can’t wait to see the rest. :)

So, today we went in for an ultrasound to check on my cyst. It hasn’t grown any form last time. The tech wants me to make sure that after Ezra is born to get that cyst taken care of right away. After she got the cyst measured she went ahead and measured Ezi.

He’s measuring a week ahead! So maybe we’ll get a Halloween baby after all. ;) Right now he is 4lbs 12 ounces. Big for his age. He has a big head. Steven saw his nose and said, “OH NO! He has my nose!!” I just think it’s the way the ultrasound made it look. The tech said that he’s pushed up against the placenta now and hardly has any room to move. The poor sweetie is too cramped! lol. Everything still looks great though. She showed us his heart and you could see all the 4 chambers and everything. It was really nice. Steven ofcourse wanted to see if he was still a boy. He is ;). 

What else, what else.. He has hair! That was the very first thing she pointed out to us. “You see that! Your baby has lots of hair!” Is what she said. It made me smile. I knew Steven had a lot when he was born and I’m pretty sure I did too. 

The tech thinks he will be about 7lbs when he’s born. I really just can’t wait to meet this little guy.

I also got a dress for my baby shower on Saturday. :)

I’m in a group on facebook where all the women are due in Nov. as well. One of them went to Disneyland last week and I had her buy me Mickey ears for Ezra. (I payed her) and now we have matching Mickey Ears. :)

Don’t take it too often.. It could hurt your liver… :| Also, obviously it’s not working. Try something else.

HDBD!

8 months/31 weeks and 3 days. 60 days to go!

Day 5: What trimester are you in, and how do you feel?

I’m in my 3rd Tri. 

Today I had a baby scare. I had a decrease in fetal movement. I feel him like crazy now, but earlier I didn’t feel him at all. I think it’s the way he’s positioned now. I’m used to him being head down, but I think he’s breech now. I went into Labor and delivery and the RN said he’s moving and reacting like a full term baby. She was really amazed by his charts. Oh and she said I was having contractions every 3-4 minutes. She was really surprised I wasn’t feeling them. They stopped after an hour though.

Other than that I’ve felt pretty good up until now. I’m really tired all the time and I get sore really easy. I just keep telling myself it’s only for about 9 more weeks. We have a feeling he will be here around Halloween though.

Day 4: How did you find out you were expecting?

My boobs hurt a ton. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Then a week later I took another one and it was positive. I remember sitting there waiting for it to develope praying and thinking to myself.. 

Please God.. Let it be positive. I’d be the best mother I can I know it. 

Then, I glanced at the stick and there was the lighhhtest pink line. I mean, it was hardly there. I started hyperventilating and freaking out. I ran into the kitchen telling  Steven it was positive. He had no idea what I was talking about and I told him the test was positive that I was pregnant. He didn’t believe me and told me my eyes were playing tricks on me… But they weren’t! Those test don’t give off false positives, they just give off false negatives. Turns out I just caught the pregnancy really early. We went to the dr the next week and had an ultrasound. My uterus was preparing itself for Ezra and we couldn’t even see him yet. But he was there!

I’m sure the only reason why I know that he was there (and my conception date) is because I was using ovulation kits.
