My LAST appointment update

Well I had my LAST appointment before Tabitha comes on Tuesday. There has been no progress. I am still 2cm dialated and the baby is head down at a station -1 (Station 0 means I am in labor)as of my appointment on Tuesday. We had another sonogram and everything looks good. She is still very active and kicking me alot and it hurts! I will be 39 weeks on Sunday and we go in Monday morning at 7:30 for my induction. Finally! I can't wait to meet Tabitha.

I am just trying to kill time at this point since I am completely ready.
Today Savannah and I made t-shirts for Nicholas and Dean to give them at the hospital. They are so cute. We left space to add Tabitha's hand prints and DOB once she comes. Here they are:



I also took Savannah and let her pick out a hospital gift for the baby. Here is what she picked:


I also got her a matching shirt that I will give her when she comes to meet the baby. Here it is:


I have an e-mail draft set up that we will send an announcement out with a pic after she is born so look for that.

Well I have made it to 38 weeks. This past week I was told I am dialated 2 cm and baby is dropped and ready to go! It could be any day now! I am having a lot of contractions but not enough for real labor yet. I have a sonogram Tuesday and then my induction date is set for June 29 if I make it that long! I also had some bely pics taken today. Here they are:

Baby Shower pics

It has been a while so this will be a long post. I have only 4 weeks until the baby comes. Yeah! A lot has happened recently. We had 2 wonderful baby showers- 1 in Houston that my parents threw and 1 at our house that my wonderful girlfriends threw. They were both very nice. We finished the nursery in time for the shower at our house and my parents helped. It turned out so darling! I am now at home because I got laid off from my job after 5 years. They "eiliminated" my position. It was a huge shock but I am trying to look at the bright side, which is that they are paying me through September 23 and I can also file unemployment right away. That will mean I can stay home for 4 months which is a blessing. It is nice to be home now preparing for baby and spending time with Savannah. I am trying not to stress about finding a job.
At my last doctor appointment we had another sonogram and everything looked good. She was 5 pounds 10 oz. 1 week ago, which means she is now around 6 pounds 2 oz. and growing! The doc. said that they grow around 1/2 pound a week and if we do not induce she will be well over 8 pounds, so we are definitely going to induce around the 1st, if not sooner!
This week I am trying to finish up shopping for everything we need with the cash and gift cards we received. I am almost done and it is so hard to get out in this heat right now. Yesterday I washed all the new stuff and today I am putting it away slowly and also relaxing a little. It is the first day that I have rested and put my feet up and it's nice. Savannah is at daycare for one more day and then she will be home with me full time.
With the gift cards and cash we got a bouncer, bathtub, spacesaver high chair, large diaper bag, rug for the nursery, some bibs, burpcloths, bassinet sheets, crib pads, a tray for her Bumbo seat, and I will be getting a hamper, mobile, and more diapers. I think we will be set after that!
Here are the things I got with our cash and gift cards:






We just received these in the mail from my girlfriend:
