QUICK POST....NO TIME

Everything is great...I will do another update soon. I just wanted to share this pic with everyone.

Ever Jacquelle Yates....SHE IS HERE!

World's best auntie!!! Thanks for your help Tara

She was born Tuesday morning at 4:35 am after a fun day or more of contractions! It went well and she is so amazing! I can't remember what it was like without her here! Rhett and I are so blessed and happy!

7lbs 4 oz

21 1/2 in.

I will tell more details later, there is tons to do but here are some pictures!!!

The waiting game.

What am I waiting for. How do you wait for something you have never felt before. Everyone tells me I will know, but how do you know, when you don't really know? Can you tell I am getting anxious?
So thursday I started to have some contractions, and for like 24 hours they were honestly happening every 5 minutes at least. They were starting to get stronger, go down my back and legs, I was like, YES get worse this is it. I am really wanting them to hurt, I want to do this, I am the most impatient person right now. Time has flown by until now. Now I feel it is at a complete stand still. I am trying to enjoy my last couple of days of babyless life, and am doing a pretty good job, Rhett and I are so close right now, we both can't wait for this baby, we always go stand in her nursery, or just imagine what it will be like, I love it! But I am getting very anxious!
I have been cleaning my house, emptying all the closets, reorganizing them, lifting heavy things, hoping it will put me in labor, sssshhhh dont tell. I am walking all the time, how can I speed this up. I know I can't really, when it is time it will happen, I just need to vent so I don't go crazy.
I am so excited to meet her, see her, love her, kiss her and just hold her in my arms, and see Rhett do the same, I seriously can't wait. Her I go again babbling, Sorry!!

Anyway, I guess when it happens it will happen, I go to the doctor in the morning, I am praying for good news, lots of progress, and maybe I can get him to strip my membranes if I wine enough. I am going to pop, I think in 12 more days, the skin will rip open, seriously, the skin is so tight, ouch!

Doctor appt!!!

Had a doctor appointment yersterday, I went from nothing last week to 50% effaced this week! Yay, I don't know if that is to exciting, but to me it is something.

He also felt her and measured and is guessing she weighs somewhere in the higher sixes, he says you are not having a 9 pounder, he thinks around seven! I had a dream that she was 7 lb 6 oz. We will see how off I am! This made me happy, I was kinda scared!

Getting closer! I can do it! I will keep telling myself that!

Thanks to Brianna!

She took some pictures for me today, I will be honest I didn't want any, not my favorite time right now, but she did so good, and she is really a great photographer. I love how they turned out, and will cherish them forever. I probably shouldn't have waited until like 19 days before my due date, but I did. She made me look a lot better than I do! She is amazing! Thanks Brianna, you are the best! Check out her blog to see them!

The Nursery!!

It is almost done, not quite, there a few things I need to do still but it is coming along, she could come now and I wouldn't be worried. I need to put some pics in the red frames that Brianna made me(they are so cute) but I want them to be pics of the baby so I will have to wait! The bedding turned out way better than I ever expected. Tara is amazing, that is her first time making that, I am so happy with it, thanks sis, love ya!

I am so ready for the baby to come, this last couple of weeks is going to kill me I know it!!! Not really, I go to the doctor today, I hope some good news maybe. I guess I can last 3 1/2 weeks huh. This is really hard for a very unpatient person.

p.s. Went to the doctor today, the baby is doing great, she flipped around so she is in the right position thank heavens. He says anytime now, I really hope that is true. I see him every week now, hopefully next week I am further along in the process, maybe I will be dilated or something, that would be nice.

We have narrowed our names to 2 different names, we have decided to wait until we see her to choose one. We also think that we will just let it be a surprise, we have not told anyone. It was hard enough to come up with them, I don't want to say them and get a bunch of opinions that change my mind . I don't have time to try and make Rhett like anymore names, that is impossible at this point!

I am suffocating!

36 weeks

I really can't breathe much anymore, my little one has filled my belly up and I can't breathe, on top of it I have a great cold. But I am getting chlosterphobia( I completely spelled that wrong) really bad, I am freaking a little, I want it out so I can breathe. I love this experience but not breathing is a little much for me, it is scary.

I am also freaking because it is getting really close, I have been watching some movies and techniques to help with the pain, but am I really strong enough to do it? I am questiong myself a lot, and it is not good. We tried to get in some classes but they are booked up until may, so we rented some sweet movies from the library, I swear they haven't made a new one since the 70's, no joke. But they are helping a little, I still am scared. I really want to experience this amazing thing naturally, but I also don't to not be so miserable I not enjoy it. I am just going to keep an open mind and see how it goes, hopefully the superwoman in me comes out, and I am strong enough to do this.

I am so thankful it is getting closer. I hope she comes a little early to be honest 2 weeks would be perfect, I don't want her huge, just healthy. I start the every week appointments now, holy cow, I am going to be a mom in like 30 days, only 3 more saturdays babyless, am I ready for this?

I held a newborn the other day for the first time since I have been pregnant, it really made things feel real, I was thinking to myself, I hardly know how to hold this, how am I going to do it all? I guess it just comes to you, I hope. Rhett was like are you holding her head, telling me to be careful, this is going to be comical to see us together with a tiny baby! I can't wait. I just want to hold her in my arms, and see her look up at me and recognize my voice, i hope she does I talk to her so she will hopefully.

I want to say thanks to all of you that came to my shower, it was so fun, and I got the cutest dang things, I am set for a while, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am working on thank you cards, but I am a little slow, I found some wedding thank you's yesterday that were filled out but never sent, oops, I am good!
