ok so i have some better news,..... i went to the dr. on Wednesday and my dr. finally gave me an induction date date!!! unfortunately its in October. its October the 3rd. at 7:00 am. i'm so excited! he's finally going to be here. hope everything goes well!!

ok so i went to the dr. on the 13th and the dr. said i'm dialated to a 1. :( not very happy about that. he said that i could dialate fairly quickly but he's not going to set a induction date till next week on the 20th if i havent already gone into labor by then. i'm still having contractions which are good b/c they help me dialate. (haha! i have no idea how to spell that word.) so i cried, because i'm just so uncomfortable now and my belly is so big, its hard for me to bend over or get up or anything now. he's getting bigger by the minute and he's getting too big for my belly. so hopefully by the grace of god i go into labor by next week. i cant wait much longer. i just hope he's not a 9 lb. baby. but i lost a pound since the last time i went in, so thats good. but thats about the only happy news for me. hehe. i think i've only gained around 15 lbs so it should come off fairly easy. (i hope) but thats al the news i have for now. when i know something, i'll be sure to write it down.

" THE CAGE "

last night james , jordan and my dad put the crib together to see what it needed as far as screws and such. come to find out, it needed screws to keep the bottom part of the crib together where the mattress lays. i was at work so the boys went to the hardware store to get what they needed. i called james to find out how everything was going and to see how my little jordy bum was doing. jordan got on the phone and was all excited that he got to help put the crib together and he was telling me about the store and what was there and he was trying to show me something through the phone, not wanting to burst his bubble, i played along like i could see what he was showing the phone. when i asked him what he was there to buy, he simply said, " nails!" knowing what he meant i asked him, "what for?" and i guess looking through a 5 year olds eyes i could see why he said what he did, because his answer was, " for the cage. the baby cage" so all nigh long everytime i talked to him i asked him how the baby cage was going. when i got home from work i went in to kiss him goodnight and he told me, "sorry mom, we didnt bring the cage home tonight." i thought it was the cutest thing.

so now that i know i'm going to have a date set for the delivery, now i just want him out. lol.... but for the past few days i've been having real bad pains in my back and in my lower part of my tummy. and then last night a friend of mine and myself went walking for about an hour and by the time we were done, my tummy was rock hard and hurting. everyone keeps telling me that those could be signs of labor but nothing has happened yet. i can tell that he has gotten lower in my hips though, sometimes it feels like he's going to fall out. it wouldnt be so bad if i didnt think that he would be too early, but not knowing how big he is, is kinda scary. i just dont want him to have any problems by coming out 3 weeks early. even though it would be a great relief for my body, nothing would be worse then to have something happen to the baby. but for now, he's all tucked away, getting bigger by the minute!! lol .

i went to the dr. on thursday and found out that in two weeks we can set up an induction date. i was super excited when i found that out. i would like to go naturally but if the date comes and i havent already gone into labor then we're going to go ahead with the induction. by the time the date comes i should be almost full term, so hopefully i can just go naturally. i've heard that when someone gets induced it takes longer for the delivery. but things are going good, i'm right on track with everything, the baby is well and things are looking up. i have 4 more weeks left till i'm full term , so lets cross our finers and hope that i go naturally, just before the date. :)
