Everyone please meet Justin Xavier Guzman!

THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!

False Alarm!!! It's so close!!

Before Chris left for work they started...contractions! I didn't say anything, and kept them to myself.  I told him I felt something strange but not to get alarmed.  He later left for work and I whipped open the computer and opened the notepad and started typing in the times of these "contractions".  10 minutes - then 7 minutes and then 5 minutes!! Whoa baby!! I was sooooo excited....but then,  they were gone.  And didn't come back =(  But this is good, that means I'm close.

2 due dates

So my original due date was September 14th then it was changed when I went for my 22 week appointment because of his size.  I passed my first due date without a sign of labor, now this one has passed!! Justin...you are a little too comfortable I'm assuming - because you are not budging mister!! I'm over this! My feet and back can no longer take this.  Help!

SO ANXIOUS!

My due date passed! And there is no sign of baby.  No contractions...No mucous plug...No nothing.  I really think this is the week. I'm super big and there is no more room for this little guy to grow.  I'm ready to give birth and hold him in my arms already.  I'm ready for the next chapter! I'm ready, but I guess he isn't quite yet. Grrrr.

34 Weeks 5 Days

Baby "room"

So Chris built the crib this past Saturday and I decorated it that night.  So much fun!! I have dusted and cleaned the floor a million times already.

More time at the beach :)

BABY SHOWER !! !!

My baby shower was on August 31st.  It was a great turnout!! I felt great being around the people I love. I danced, mingled and felt beautiful! It was my day - oh yes and of course Justin and Chris' :)  I was a trooper because I didn't even take off my silver peep toe pumps.  Mama was working it, or at least I felt I was!  I never really had a sweet 16 so this felt like my moment.

At the time that we opened presents (which I contemplated on doing because I don't like the "all eyes on me" feeling) we sat down and Chris had the mic.  By the way as soon as we walked in, everyone was giving Chris shots of Hennessy and of course he took all of them, and so it's safe to say that he was pretty "happy".  MIL handed us the presents, we opened them and he spoke.  He read the cards out loud and made everyone laugh with his comments.  At the end, of the gift opening portion I wanted to thank everyone for coming, especially because we had the microphone.  I took the microphone from Chris and began saying "I just want to thank everyone for coming, I really appreciate it...and I choked.  I got so emotional and started crying.  Chris had to finish off for me.  It was so funny.  I'm glad we have video footage of it =]

September is here !!

I am now 38 weeks and ready for baby to come.  I have become very anxious and I can't wait until he makes his grand entrance. My legs ache some days, my back really hurts too. I'm lucky my feet aren't swollen, but they do hurt sometimes.  Plus I feel so much pressure "down there" since he has dropped. I'm having BH Contractions, nothing major, they end up going away withing a few minutes.  I know he'll come when he is ready, but would reeeeaaalllly like it if he came this week :)

Independence Day :)

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th Of July.  Fireworks were beautiful this year!! Best year yet!! Next year Justin will be joining us in the picture :)

Doctor's Appointment Today

I was so sleepy.  Going to bed at 5:30a.m. to wake up at 9:00am to be at the clinic by 9:30 was a drag! I almost didn't want to go - but I wanted to tell them about the hospital visit.

The doctor checked me out & I was given a prescription to get pills for whatever caused the bleeding.  So like I stated before - I have had nothing since then.  They did the usual and I'm up to 133 pounds.  So far so good - I so don't want to go over 140lbs. We'll see how that goes being that I have 10 weeks left!!

Trip to the Hospital

I went in to the hospital because I had some spotting for 2 days.  I didn't think much of it, since that is quite normal - but it wouldn't go away so I was concerned.  MIL said she would take me, just so we can ease our minds.  I started reading about what it could be and I got really nervous.  I went to the bathroom ones more and that did it.  I called MIL and she picked me up it was about 12:00am when we were driving over to Palisade.

I went in and immediately sent me in L&D (Labor and Delivery). I pee'd for them, changed into that ugly hospital gown and they hooked me up to the machines to monitor the baby. The nurse that treated me wasn't very vocal, so I didn't really know what was going on.  She would review the sheet of paper coming out of the machine thing that monitored me.  She then said "you don't feel that?" I said "no".  Mom then said - What is she supposed to be feeling? Is she having contractions?" Nurse said "Yes".  I felt my body literally get super hot all over.  I was going to start panicking, but quickly remembered that this happens all the time to women.  So I relaxed.  She hooked me up to get hydrated to see if that stopped the contractions - which they didn't but reduced them.  I didn't even feel anything!!

After hours there - they gave me a shot to fully stop the contractions. They gave me antibiotics for an infection (which caused the bleeding).  It turns out that I had a UTI which was the reason why I was spotting those days.  The UTI might have or might not have caused the contractions.  They don't know.  They told me to stay hydrated, that might have been another reason why my contractions probably started too.  I really don't drink water - so that might have been it. We ended up leaving the hospital at 5:00 am!! I was so tired and sleepy.  Plus I had to be up and ready by 9:00 for my doctors appointment.

I really don't want him coming out soon!  I want him to come home with me, I don't want him to be in a NICU.

After that - I haven't had ANY spotting or bleeding.  I have been drinking more water, especially now that we're having 102 degree weather.

Holy Charlie Horse!

Never had I felt such pain!!  I wake up a few times a night, to get comfy.  This particular night I stretch my legs and oh my goodness, pain pain pain on my right calf.  Wow another pregnancy perk!
