Well as you can tell I'm still with child. Not that I thought that he was going to come out right away or anything. Our doctor guessed sometime in the next two weeks. That doesn't mean it will definitely happen and its only been 3 days since my appointment. There is one part of me that wants my little boy to stay safely inside of me and keep growing nice and strong. But then there is the selfish side of me that feels like if he's coming out on his own then he's ready and then I'm all anxious and excited to meet him and see his face for the first time.
I have done nothing to try to make him come out. None of the silly things like Eat oranges or anything. I'm only 37 weeks tomorrow so he can stay in a while longer and it would be just fine. I think its just the idea that they told us it could be any day that has me all antsy. This weekend I truly felt fine. I had some contractions like always but nothing severe and nothing consistent. I almost feel like Friday when I go back to see if there has been any changes that they will check and I will still be 3 centimeters dilated and no change at all. Which is totally fine but like I said now that they planted the "within two weeks" in my head I'm all excited and ready for him now. Also the whole I'm about to give birth, is in my head now and I sort of just want to get that whole thing over with rather than think about it for weeks on end wondering what it will be like. Scary!
This weekend. I've still been in nesting mode. My husband and I spent Saturday with all our friends watching the OU game. They lost but hopefully next week will be better. Then Sunday we went to church, cleaned out entire house and then I even made some pumpkin cranberry bread. I felt so accomplished. We walked our dogs for a good 45 minutes (not trying to induce labor by the way), I had been cleaning all day and we figured if that didn't make me go into labor than walking the dogs wouldn't either and it was gorgeous outside. I of course had no sign of labor that night so I'm glad I didn't make it happen. Today we went to a friends house for some homemade chilly and just visited and had a good time. It was a good weekend and luckily we have been busy but I'm still so antsy to just go to my doctor and see if anything has changed. Thats all I want to know? Has it changed?
Oh and guess what, My bags are now packed and ready. I even packed pads and breast pads just in case they don't have those at the hospital (I assume they will but just in case). I'm ready when you are Coop, I can't wait to see your beautiful face. Be easy on mommy little guy and God please watch over us.
Well I will update again on Friday after the doctor appointment, unless I go into labor and have him before then. I hope you all have a nice 4 day week.

Are you delivering at SouthCrest or St.Francis?
I have delivered both times (3 counting my m/c) at St.Francis and I know for a fact that they will supply you with pads and mesh panties. They really are great for the post partum bleeding. When i was discharged, my nurse went to the supply room and grabbed 3 extra packs of pads and had me secretely stash them in my bag. LOL
And i am almost positive they will supply those at the other hospital too.
Can't wait to hear if you have any changes come friday!!
I wish you the best this week. I know how hard it is to wait to meet them!! We are ready when you are Coop!!
I'm new to your blog but I'm enjoying reading all about Cooper Man. I will be praying for y'all and a safe and speedy delivery and recovery!

Be sure to stock up on any goodies at the hospital--pads, mesh undies, baby diapers, water squirt bottle (since toilet paper is not allowed for a while), etc. Don't feel guilty about stocking up...it all evens out when you get your hospital bills :). Good luck with the last few weeks/days/hours...so excited to hear when he's on his way!! You'll do great!
I am so excited for you!
Have been thinking about you this past weekend. Trust me the pads you have at home are nothing compared to the size they have at the hospital ha ha!!
I am glad you had a good weekend and are getting things done!
My birthday is friday so maybe it will be that day =) haha
I know your getting antsy but I love how patient that you are also! Your doing a wonderful job and I'm so happy for you!
I just love your nursery! Can you tell us where you found that zebra print rug??
wow! It won't be long...but I know it feels forever having to wait! I remember right after Jack was born and I was just so filled with joy and I couldn't believe he was here and I couldn't even remember what it was like to be pregnant!
Hang in there...you'll get to meet your beautiful baby boy so so soon!
I am soo excited for you. The last couple of weeks seem to tick by because you wake up every day wondering if today is it. However, take them in and enjoy every moment. Your little guy will be here soo soon. Don;t worry about labor you can handle it.
Also the hospital provides you with depends looking pads and underwear that go above your belly button but they are the most amazing and comfortable things ever at the time.
You look so great and you're so close to meeting 'lil Cooper! Sorry about OU, that was a bummer for ya'll.
Melissa-
I saw your comment on Jennifer's blog. I would love to do a header for you, with a matching background. I just figured you'd want to wait till Cooper arrived. You let me know, I would love to design one for you!! I can't wait to send you your baby swap package! :)
You are SO close!! Im excited to see Cooper!
Good thing you have those bags packed. I will do that in a few weeks. If you get a chance, could you list what you have packed? I feel like I am going to forget something!
