Ok you guys, so we are at week 37... FULL TERM!!
So this is my last pregnancy pic (EVER) showing my belly size!
This past week went by really fast. Friday, I went over to my parent's house and hung out all day with mom and Lauren and the kids got to play. It was nice and relaxing, and then I headed home for dinner with Daryl and Cam.
Saturday morning, we headed back over to their house for a small cookout with closest friends. We got there early, and I just felt so completely wiped out that I napped for about 2-3 hours before everyone showed up. It was a nice evening, and there were four pregnant gals there! Myself, Lauren, Pam, and Barbara. :)
Sunday morning, I got up and ate breakfast and took a nap, while Daryl and Cam went outside and played. He powerwashed the house (it looks soooo much better!) and Cam just played and watched Daddy :) These moments are so sweet, and the reality that she won't be an only child anymore is starting to set in. I cry alot, just watch her alot. She seems so excited about her sister, and I can only hope it stays that way. I love my Cam so much, and I know she will be a wonderful big sister for Kori. Kori is so lucky <3
So Monday we were back to the doctor's. My BP was high again... 164/100, and it didn't go down this time. So, yet again, we got sent to the hospital to be monitored. We really thought we would be staying and having a baby that night, but they sent us home later on that evening. They really want to get me to full term, and I was ok with that. We picked up Cam from mom and dad's and visited with Lauren and Adam for a little while. Adam came to visit for a few days, so it was nice for Daryl and him to catch up.
Tuesday and Wednesday I rested alot... Did a few things for myself, though, including a pedicure and a hair cut/color, to hold me over for a few weeks! It was nice and relaxing, but I got tired really fast. Then Thursday came. I finished preparing a few things, packing last minute things, and was ready. We headed to Lynchburg for the night to stay at The Hilton (thanks to Daryl's sweet parents), to make it easier for the next morning. On the way, I was having some contractions. Nothing really regular, but they were real! Wow. We went to dinner, just Daryl, Cam, and me, at Friday's, and it was nice and sweet. I kept getting super emotional, just about Camryn and how she was going to feel sharing mommy and daddy. But, I just kept pushing on. Kori was coming, whether I was ready or not! That night laying in bed with Cam and my husband beside me, she said, "Mommy, Daddy, I want to go home." That was it. I lost it... I cried so hard. I felt like she knew things were changing. I know it was for the good, obviously, but she was no longer going to be my only baby. Just kind of hit me. Sheesh, talk about emotional!
Then, with the little sleep that I got that night, the next day arrived!!!
