40 weeks OB Appointment

Well, we had our OB appointment yesterday and everything's going swimmingly. My doctor did mention a cervix scraping if I wanted one. There'd be a 50% chance I'd go into labor within 3 days if I had it done and it would be painful if I did it. So I passed...it needs to have better odds than that if it's going to be painful. I'm not that desperate yet. Cervix scraping...who's bright idea was that. It sounds terrible...like root canal. Since everything checked out, there won't be much discussion about inducing for some time. So I'll just be getting bigger in the meantime until Holly punches the go button.

ChellyChell said...: Wow, a cervix scraping sign me up today!!! NOT!!!! You chose well not to get one. Let Holiday come when she wants to. It looks like she is going to come when she is good and darn ready anyway.; April 15, 2009 at 9:41 AM
Jennifer J. said...: I agree with Michelle. That sounds like a really crappy way to start labor. There are more fun things that can be done. However, I think Holiday will come when she is darn good and ready, and not one minute sooner. Kids are just like that, they do stuff when they want to.; April 15, 2009 at 10:19 AM

I will be calling tomorrow and checking in after you get home. Tell me how much time you two plan to take off and a little about your extended schedule. Love love love

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
