HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

i hope everyone has a wonderful time tonight!

for the holiday fun spencer and i got dressed and went down to Ahmanns to get a free pic of the family. spencer dressed up as jack sparrow and i was an m&m, one of my moms old costumes she made, it was the only one that fit! anyway, i would put that pic up here but we won't have it for a little bit. its kinda sad that the baby isn't here yet for her first halloween/holiday but guess what! she'll be here for christmas and almonds offers free christmas pics! yay! i can't wait. i want to get her a really pretty dress! so excited!

so today spencer and i had another doctors appointment today and everything was fine. we had ANOTHER stress test, pretty boring stuff. the doc said that if i don't deliver anything before the actual due date (8th), then i'll have to be induced. he won't let me go past that. so i WILL have a baby by the 8th! crazy!!!!

ready! (random thoughts)

i'm so ready to be done. my back hurts way too much and i hate that my feet bloat if i stand or walk to long, and because of the bloating i'm on bed rest. but now that i think about it....i can maybe stand being prego for a little bit longer. i don't want to go through the birthing process. and i'm kinda scared to be a mommy! so i guess what i mean is.....i'm ready to have the baby, but not ready to be a mommy.

so ANYWAY, i have a little less then 2 weeks left until my due date, but i'm full term and could go into labor any time. kinda scary that my water could break at any time, anywhere, infront of anyone. but its kinda good that i'm on house arrest and can't leave. our next appointment is on halloween! scary! lol. too bad i can't go trick or treating! stupid STUPID bed rest! i would so go get candy!

so my parents just had their 25 wedding anniversary dinner. it was way fun. lots of people came and the food was very good. lots of family came to town and it was so much fun to have them here. the house was SO cramped when everyone came over and it wasn't even the whole rodeback family, but i've kinda missed that. back in the day the rodebacks would always get together at grandma and grandpas for either christmas or thanksgiving. LOTS of people in one house. over 50 people cramed in the family room to open gifts and to have grandpa throw peanut m&m's to all the grandkids. kinda random but so much fun. but now everyones getting older, and grandkids are getting married, people can't make it, and so on, but i think one year we will all be able to make it. but anyway, i love my fam and can't wait to get together again
sometime!

well i hope this baby comes soon and i hope you like mt random thoughts!

update!!!!!!

so i don't hae to be induced! yay! the doc said everything is going great. i just need to keep off my feet and take it easy. after the appointment we decided to go and pre-register at the hospital, since i'm 38 weeks and could pop any day now. the nurse at the clinic mentioned it to us, cuz its better to just walk in and get to pushin then be sitting in the waiting room having contractions and filling out papers. anyway, after we filled out the paperwork we asked for a tour of labor and delivery. very nice. kinda scary.....spencer kept crackin corny jokes, because he was SO nervous! anyway, thats all we did today, well we went to wal mart and spencer pushed me around in the wheelchair, fun stuff, but thats about it.

tomorrow

so tomorrow we find out if we will be parents before the weeks over. if my blood pressure is high then here she comes! but if not then well just wait like everyone else. i don't think i will have to be induced, the swelling in my feet has gone WAY down. i actually have ankles again! i still get headaches from time to time, but its like 1 every 2 days or something. but we'll see what the doc says tomorrow at 3:15! kinda scary!

funny stuff.

so one day i was watching the ellen show, which i find very funny. anyway she decided to do a skit with dennis quaid, way way funny!

bed rest!

so.....today we had a doctors appointment. it was ok.....so it was the same old same old, pee in a cup, and get my weight checked. so, the doctor noticed that i gained 5 pounds within a week. he asked if i was bloating really bad and as a mater of fact i have been, way bad this week too. he also asked if i was getting headaches, and i actually just got one, a real bad one, this morning. well.....all of these symptoms are signs of preclampsia (high blood pressure thing that can be really bad if not taken care of.) anyway, the doctor said that i am now on bed rest, no shopping or anything. and if by next week i get the main and bad symptom, high blood pressure, then i will have to be induced! so i could have a baby next week! kinda scary! well after that i had to have the 20 minute nonstress test. i just sit there while the babys heartbeat is being monitored. and if the baby moves or kicks during it, i have to push a botton. pretty simple. after the checkup i had to get some blood drawn. so all in all, i'm on bed rest and i could have a child by next week. honestly, i'm not that worried about this whole bed rest thing. its weird. everyone else is kinda worried (esp spencer), but i don't feel like i should be, maybe because it could cause me to be stressed out.

anyway, thats about it. i just have to take it easy and get lots of rest. so... i'm in spokane this weekend...yeah yeah i know, i should be home right now, but i needed to come to pick out a stroller/carseat and to find some other necessary things before the baby gets here, esp if shes coming next week! don't worry i'll be careful!

ps! spencer got pell grants! awesomeness! its going to help out SO much!

thanks!

i just wanted to thank everyone for the gifts and for showing up to the shower! it was so much fun! the decorations were cute and the food was way way good (thanks crystal) and the games were so much fun (thanks laska and cathy).

heres some pics to show everyone....

very cute blanket tracy made me

thats all the pics i'm gunna put up theres a lot. i got a lot of very cute clothes and a lot of cute blankets! but theres soooo many pics to choose from!

so we took family pics yesterday before the shower, for my mom and dads 25th anniversary dinner on the 25th....anyway, we got a lot of cute pics and spencer and i got a "family pic with the baby" its a realy good pic and i wanted to post it, since i think my mom prob won't. anyway here it is...any maybe some other pics

36 weeks!

well folks i'm 36 weeks along and doing fine. i went to the doctor today and he did the usual check up. so last time i was in there he said i would have visits every 2 weeks, but now he said every week. eh, oh well. anyway, he measured my stomach, checked my legs and feet for swelling, listened to the babys heardbeat and checked my blood pressure again (the nurse did it before he came in). he said that since i'm this far along that if i went into labor then they wouldn't stop me....so that pretty much means i could go into labor and any time and have the baby. AHHHHH!

well this weekend is my baby shower! and i am WAY excited! i'm kind of a shut in (my choice i know, but i never feel like doing anything). anyway, i am excited to see people and socialize and have some fun. not that i don't have any fun or go out on the town with spencer, we do and its so much fun, its just that i hardly ever see anyone now a days. anyway, i'm way excited and i hope you readers can make it! (again see laskas blog for the time and place and the wonderful cards she made! she also has another blog about her creations, which are AMAZING. i so don't have the skill or the will power. lol)
well thats all for now. my next blog will most likely be about the shower. and/or the next doc appointment, which is next friday.

until we read again. Mama Bear

30 days!!!!!

so today i offically have 30 days left! craaaaazy!!!! in 30 days (or maybe less...hopefuly not more!) our lives will be changed forever! that doesn't scare me one bit. lol ok thats a lie it does! spencer and i talk about if we're ready or not and how fast things are going to change. we are so excited to see our little girl for the first time, look her in the eyes, and tell her we're her mommy and daddy. me a mommy?!? if you would have told me last year that i was going to be having a kid i would have told you that you're nuts! but here i am, getting ready for my little one to come! life is FULL of surprises!
on friday i have another doctors appointment, its the start of my every 2 week checkups, which really just means i have an extra appointment this month. lol. anyway, i don't really know what this visits coing to be like, but i just hope nothings wrong, which i'm pretty sure everythings going great.
well thats about all for now. i think that i'm going to start a 30 day picture countdown. i guess i should have done a pic countdown in the begining but eh, this should be fun! anyway...

until fridays blog....Mama Bear

random post

so about a week ago, i walked down to hastings to meet spencer at work when he got off. i was kinda early so i went into maurices. lately (ok pretty much the whole pregnancy) i have wanted to wear my old clothes and get new ones (ESP JEANS!!!!). i hate, and i mean HATE my maternity jeans, but they are the only thing i have. well anyway, back to the story....well i decided that enought was enough.....i went through the store and found some cute shirts and my favorite kind of jeans, flare! well it was very fun! even thought i had to grease up myself to get into the clothes (lol i'm bloated and i've gained some weight and plumped up in some areas due to the pregnancy). anyway, it was so nice to try on clothes!!!! i was so excited. the first thing i'm going to do when i have my little one is get some jeans!!!! thats my treat for having to go through what i hear is the worst pain in the world! anyway......if you are wondering, yes i did get some pics, and yes they are kinda funny, but dang it i want some clothes! i'll post one or two pic for the readers.....enjoy! ps...my face looks way nasty in them...i overheat WAY easily now and i have given up make up for now....and doing my hair...pretty much everything....anyway, enjoy the pics
