I promise that once the baby is born, I won’t continue with the “1d old Baby update”, “2d old Baby update” daily posts.
But, I’m still here. With a baby in my tummy.

I don’t know where she gets it.
Mallory continues to have this unbelievably stubborn streak. If you want to get her dressed and are already on the floor ready to do it, she wants to do it “riiiiight….HERE” and it’s ALWAYS just out of reach of where Rick or I happen to already be. Same with fixing her hair, or brushing her teeth, or putting her shoes on. My new trick is to tell her I don’t think she can put her own pants/shirts/socks/shoes on and BAM – she’ll do it herself. Let’s hope that works for a while. ;-)
She is also really really bossy. When we …
40w3d Baby Arlo Update
Still pregnant.
READERS DIGEST VERSION: Had my weekly appointment this morning. Fluid levels are great again, baby was a little sluggish and sleepy so they had to use this taser thingy on my belly to wake it up for the monitors. Then the baby jumped and they got the readings they needed to see and I was allowed to leave. Dr B is happy with how I am progressing and has me scheduled for an induction Sunday night (we’ll go in ~6p). Because I am so far along already, it’s expected that my labor will be way faster than it was …
40w2d Baby Arlo Update
Still pregnant. Here is proof.
40w1d Arlo update
Still pregnant.
40w. Still Pregnant
No update. Still pregnant. Nothing to report but didn’t want everyone to think I’d actually gone into labor.
39w6d Arlo Update
Reader’s Digest version is that I’m still pregnant. Stop here if you don’t want details.

My fluid level was AWESOME this morning – like triple what it was on Monday. So either I somehow drank a million gallons of water in the last three days (unlikely) or they measured way wrong on Monday (likely). But what that means is that I didn’t get induced today.
The baby looked great on the monitors today – lots of good accelerations and apparently the monitor showed I was having some contractions but I wasn’t feeling them. Dr B did do an internal exam …
39w5d Arlo Update. A/K/A “Still Pregnant”
Yup, still pregnant! Good stuff, eh? The good news is that I am pretty much caught up on my scrapping, or as caught up as I can be right now. I am way behind on my journaling but that is easier to do than cutting pictures and titles and being creative (since I can usually just copy & paste from the blog for the stories that go with my pictures in the scrapbooks).
I can’t believe that tomorrow is the day we find out more about how Arlo is doing. When I left the doctor on Monday, Thursday seemed FOREVER …
39w4d Baby Arlo Update
STATUS: Still pregnant.
* * *
Cooper and his impeccable timing decided to start limping yesterday so I called the vet to try to get him an appointment for today and they were totally booked. But they said I could drop him off with them for the day and they’d get to him when they could. Not really ideal seeing as how he’s already so anxious about the bags being packed by the door and the baby stuff that is invading but we didn’t have a choice. I was afraid that we wouldn’t get it taken care of and then he’d end …
39w3d Update
Still pregnant.
But there is an end in sight. For reals this time.
I had my weekly NST this morning and saw Dr B after. Baby looked fine on the monitors but my amniotic fluid levels dropped dramatically from last week. It is still in the normal range so Dr B thinks maybe I did more activity this weekend (um, not really) or didn’t drink much water as I should so she wants to check it again on Thursday. I am to head to Triage if at any time I feel the baby isn’t moving as much as “normal”. She …
