Another doc appointment done - I really hope its my last - but it doesn't look like it! boo! I didn't progress enough this last week for the doctor in order to do an induction - boo - she thinks I may go past due my due date - boo and she goes out of town for a week this weekend - boo again - so she said "if" we need to induce - it won't be until the 15th... but hey - at least that is Christina's birthday!

She did sweep my membranes - which - unless I missed something - didn't hurt - it was like 1, 2, 3 done - nice. Maybe by some miracle it will jump kick something into gear...

I'm still one big rash - nice - they actually think its environmental that the lovely pregnancy has made me super sensitive and I'm having an allergic reaction to something - like my clothes or soap or something. So basically I'm trying not to itch - taking cold showers - and oatmeal baths - let's just put it this way - its 1:30 in the morning right now - how do you think its going... I should be sleeping...

My good friend Gina is getting induced today (Tuesday) YEAH! - I can't wait for Gavin to get here - so that is some exciting news. Anne finds out what she is having today - YEAH! I think she is having a boy - or maybe I just want that so they can marry and live happily ever after - right? hehe

Well, I'm going to go take some Benadryl and try to get more sleep - oh and not itch...right.

Holy Cow - my skin itches - sorry - I have to bitch for a second! Like I understand why my belly is itching because it is getting bigger and those lovely stretch marks - but basically yesterday my legs and arms started to itch - its not like I have a rash or anything - but it kind of looks like I have a mild sun burn. My skin tone is a slight pink and it isn't from itching...

I called the doctor and she isn't too nervous about it - tonight I get to take a special kind of bath - something with oatmeal and something from Aveeno - then I get to get drugged up on Benadryl and that should help. I just need to keep the dogs from eating out of the bath. hehe

She said if it continues I get to go to a dermatologist tomorrow. nice.

Well we are expecting some major storms tonight and the pressure should lower a lot - come on baby - I hope she comes tomorrow because of the activity tonight - then maybe the name will be stormy or windy...

Everyone be thinking - labor - labor - labor!

So no baby... Still waiting...

I just got back from my doc appointment - my belly still itches like mad - she told me to use a corn starch lotion - I'm hoping that helps - I'm good during the day - but at night - I itch like mad and I wake up all the time to me itching - nice.

I'm still 1cm - but she said I'm softer - so I'm a little more efaced - but still no real progress. damn - oh well. I have a feeling I'm just going to go into labor - something will trigger it.

My next appointment is Monday and she said she will strip my membranes then and if I haven't gone that week - I think she will induce - especially since she is going out of town the day after I'm due - I think... I don't mind - just bring it on!

She checked the positioning and all is good - she is head down and facing the right way - so everything is in good position to go. She joked that with all the storms - they see a surge of babies because of the atmosphere pressure or whatever - I'm hoping that is true!!! Come on storms!

Chris and I went and ate wonderful Mings for lunch - I had - spicy Hot and Sour Soup and spicy beef lo mein - I hope it works! I joked with Anne that if I "go" tonight - I'll just text her saying - Mings Worked!

Well - everyone hope that the next time I write - its because I just gave birth!

Nothing too much to report here. I'm about the same. My belly itches soooo bad! I can manage not to itch it during the day and re-apply lotion and everything but at night - I wake up itching it - oops. Oh well - I'm hoping that I don't have that much longer!

Kendall is doing well - she is super cute - momma Christina is doing well too.

Everyone is guessing when she will come - I hope sooner or later! ha! My co-workers I think are having a pool! My boss says she can't come until June 4th after 3 pm so I can complete my big executive report for the big wigs - ha! Chris thinks it will be June too. I'm hoping next week or heck this weekend. I'm just going to try to keep active and when she comes - she comes!

Oh and if you haven't seen - I have major swelling in my feet and ankles and sometimes my hands - don't worry - I don't have high blood pressure or anything - I'm just one of those lucky ones. My co-worker said I had Shrek feet - nice. I can only wear flip flops - which anyone knows me - I hate flip flops - I always have - but is it sad when you can't even wear your mom shoes that you bought for the pregnancy? I put my feet up when I can and walks do help - but my feet are a site to see and no - I will not take pictures.

My next doc appointment is Tuesday - besides that - we will be just hanging out at home or with family...maybe I should play rockband to help it along...
