I'm So Ready!

Well, emotionally I'm better than I was during the last post. I just have my days. (And, Candi, thank you for the sweet response.)

I don't think I posted this (and sorry if I did but I don't feel like checking) but I had to spend several hours at an eye doctor's and Retinal Specialist's last week. My eyes were acting weird. I had three instances where I was seeing things out of the corner of my eye (like swimming pool water shimmering).

Well, after all the appointments and time taken, my retinas are fine and there's nothing the doc can do. The specialist said that my problem most likely stems from the neurological stuff. I guess it's good that I'm not losing my retinas. Since then those visions stopped but I am still getting shooting light effects when in bright light or randomly. If it doesn't get worse, I can deal with it.

I scheduled my MRI for June 26th so hopefully we'll have some answers when I go to the specialist on July 7th.

The good news is that baby is doing well and measuring okay now. The OB said whenever I go into labor I can have the baby. She also said that if I go a week late, they'll induce me (which is why I could book the MRI and be sure I have time for it).

So, at the latest, baby K will be here by June 22nd. Isn't that crazy?! I hope it's before then but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel! I can't wait to meet this little one.

I've been very sore lately and restless. Also, I've been feeling off today (and it's not the neuro stuff). I don't know if the baby is coming soon, but my body surely knows something's going on. I've had some irregular contractions here and there. Once they get painful and are 5-7 min. apart, I can go in to the hospital.

So, it's just a big waiting game. I'm excited, nervous, scared, and thrilled all at once. It's such an awesome thing that Jason and I could create this life and bring him/her into this world. It truely is a miracle. All babies are.

Now that I ended on a good note, I'm going to fall over!

(Sorry for any typos but I'm too tired to spell check or read over this... deal with it... I'm 9 months pregnant!)

Where's the Month 9 picture?!?! I work from 3pm-close on Saturday (5-23) so you should try and waddle your pregnant self in!

The 9 month pic... I got lazy. I should take one.

I'll see if I can't scrape my pregnant butt up and waddle myself in on Saturday. I haven't seen you in a while!

Are you at Yankee? (I don't know if you're still even at Macy's).

I hope I can pop in to see you.

Oh I quit Macy's in December. I only worked there for 3 weeks. I hated it. :) So yes, I'll be at Yankee.
