No Thanksgiving baby...

After lots of family here all day for dinner we were hoping that might be enough to get Comzo going...but as for 7:33 pm he/she has not made any movement towards the grand entrance. SO we will continue to be patient and thankful that baby is so healthy that it wants to cook a little longer! We are thankful that most of family could be together!

When we went to the doctor on Monday she said we were dilated to a 2 and thought that baby could really come in the next few days. We are wishing that she would not have told us that because that makes us even more anxious!! We are just so ready to meet this little person!!! Keep us in your thoughts and we will keep you posted!!!

False Alarm...

So I thought my water broke on Tuesday...like I know what that is like!! Of course we called the doctor and he had us come in and the have to admit you to the hospital, just in case I guess...then some hooking up and checking...and NOPE! So it was a false alarm and we are stilling patiently waiting for Cozmo to say it's time to go!!

Cozmo attended his/her first concert at the Val Air last night. The Dropkick Murphy's rocked and Cozmo loved them!! We were hoping that being out and about would make Cozmo come...but no luck...!!!

If you can't tell, we are getting a little impatient!! We will keep you posted! We are hoping this weekend!!!

2 weeks until "due date"

Yes...we are getting closer!!! Our days are spent wondering what else can we do to get ready for this tiny little miracle and most of all...WHEN ARE YOU COMING!?!?! The weekend was fun filled with more mom, dad and jerry time around the house putting finishing touches on the room. We completed our art project for Cozmo's room and hung some pictures...so now all we need is a baby!! We got the pack and play (Cozmo's sleeping arrangements for a while) this weekend and Dad figured out how to pack and unpack it!! We are ready...well as ready as we can be!

We went to the doctor today and she said that from a "health" stand point things could not be better. I am healthy, baby is healthy and a good size, the heart sounded great. She is hoping that baby comes in the next two weeks but they will not let me go past 41 weeks...which means in at least THREE WEEKS we will have a baby and Cozmo will finally get a real name! Right now I am 80% effaced, which is movement from last week...so keep your fingers crossed that Cozmo comes on his/her own terms, as I am not really wanting to be induced. Still dilated to 1 and that can be like that for a long time, so nothing to get my hopes up about BUT there is movement!!!! And this momma needs some encouragement.

My nights continue to be full of trips to the bathroom and stints of sleep that only last about an hour at a time. So hopefully...I can get some rest before Cozmo comes. Who knows...but I am sure that I will make it! Again- Michael has been so supportive and wonderful, Cozmo and I are so blessed--but I think he is so ready for Cozmo to come too!!

Keep us in your thoughts and we will keep you posted!

TOP THINGS NOT TO SAY TO A VERY PREGNANT LADY (mostly heard at work):

-Oh, your still here?
-You haven't had that baby yet?
-You are looking bigger every day!
-When is that baby coming?

Wish I had a good response to these...but I just keep smiling :)

pictures!

Cozmo looks an awful lot like Ellie's cabbage patch doll...and Jerry is not quite sure what to think. Changing table...finally finished!! It looks great in the room!! We love it.
Dad practicing going for walks with the new stroller that he put together!

37 and counting...

We had a fun filled weekend getting Cozmo's room ready! With the help of "Uncle Travis" we got the chair to our house on Saturday...after it not fitting in the Vibe by about 1.5 inches...Michael and the people at Babies R Us tried to will it in there...but it just didn't work!! But we got it and it looks great!! We got lots of little baby cloths washed and ready to go. It is so hard to fold and organize things that you have no idea where it is going to needed the most! We had a lot of fun getting stuff organized to the best of our ability!! The missing parts for the changing table came today in the mail...that is a great relief!!! We just a few more finishing touches to put on the room and get a few more things for when Cozmo comes home and we are set!! Well, as set as we can be for something that we don't know exactly what we are going to need!

We went to the doctor today and our weekly check turned into a four hour adventure. Cozmo was not moving around as much on Monday and Tuesday so we let the doctor know today. They checked us (no movement in the area of moving towards labor since last week) and then hooked us up to a non-stress test machine. Apparently Cozmo's heart rate was dropping every few minutes so they sent us to the hospital for further monitoring. We got hooked up again for more than an hour to make sure that everything was going okay. Cozmo didn't seem to mind as he or she just kicked around why we waited. They wanted to do an ultrasound to make sure that baby was moving around and see the fetal breathing. Everything checked out great and it was so neat to see all the little parts of the baby. We held strong and made sure we looked away when she got close to the little girl or little boy parts! We waited this long and we didn't want to find out a couple weeks before Cozmo came into the world!! She said everything looks great, we could see the hair floating in the amniotic fluid (lots of it she said), we could see little tiny toes and fingers. The ultra sound lady said Cozmo has short little arms! We just can't wait to see what he/she looks like in person! Then she saved the best for last...she got a great shot of Cozmo's face and put it into 3D. We have attached the picture and it is amazing the little tiny eyes, nose and mouth...they look just perfect!! Cozmo has little chubby cheeks!! She estimated Cozmo at 7.5 lbs but it could be off one lb. either way...but at least it is a healthy size.

It was not the best of reasons to go to the hospital but it makes us feel so much better knowing that Cozmo is doing okay in there. It also makes me feel better, I was getting very anxious about baby this week but have realized that it is probably not the case!! We will keep you posted!!

Photo shoot!

Please check out Julie's website...she was awesome to work with and took great pictures!! She is so relaxed and really captured what we were looking for. http://www.landryannadesigns.com/ There are more pictures on my facebook---so check it out!

36 weeks!

Another great visit to the doctor today. He said that baby is doing good, heart beat is great and that an active baby means that Cozmo is getting enough oxygen and groceries (which is not an issue...i am hungry!!) We will continue to go back each week now for check ups. The doctor reported that the baby's head is down in a good position! Hopefully that means that little Cozmo will join us in the next couple of weeks!! We will keep you posted!

Cozmo loves to shop!!

We went on a mini-shopping spree this weekend and got the stroller/car seat combo. It was pretty easy to put together, which is always a bonus. Now...the changing table is a different story. We woke up Saturday morning so excited to out it together and Michael took out all the parts (all 47 parts) and it did not have any hardware or instructions...making it very difficult to put together. HOPEFULLY Babies R Us will get the parts to us soon...we are anxious to put it together!! Then we will have one more piece to the baby's room completed!

We had family/pregnancy pictures today...it was a lot of fun and we will hopefully have some of them posted soon. Stay tuned for lots of updates as we start going to the doctor weekly now. It hit us this weekend that we could have a baby really any time!!! We are so excited and ready for Cozmo to join us!!

Hopefully we will have some pics up soon...the uploader isn't working today!!
