So I feel kind of bad that I really haven't done many updates or anything with this pregnancy. There just really hasn't been much to talk about, things have gone really smoothly! I haven't been sick at all (thanks to B6 and Unisom taken daily) which has been the biggest BLESSING! I feel like overall the pregnancy process has gone be really quickly, except for maybe the last few weeks. I feel like the last few weeks seem long no matter what. I have just been staying busy being a mommy to a very active 2 year old!
I am now 36 weeks along and have been starting to feel a lot of pressure and slight cramping. I went to my normal check up today and she examined me and said that I am 2 cm dilated, 80% effaced, and completely anterior! That is great news, especially because my body basically did nothing to prepare for River. I know that that obviously doesn't mean I will go into labor anytime soon, but I'm just proud of my body for actually doing some of the work this time! haha!
I was scheduled to go to Las Vegas on Monday (for a week) for a buying trip, but when I told my Dr. that she looked at me like I was crazy and said "I don't think that is a good idea!" She told me it was my choice of course but she would highly suggest I don't go. So that kind of stinks, especially cause I'm sure I could go and be totally fine, but I guess I better play it safe. Right?
My Dr. told me that even though I went 10 days over with Riv and that delivery was complicated, I shouldn't be expecting that this time. She said it will go much faster and not to wait to long to go to the hospital if I go into labor unless I want to have my baby in my car! I hope she is right and that this delivery will go much faster and smoother then River's. We scheduled an induction for a week early, so I will be meeting my new little guy in three weeks from today! Yay! June 16th is when I'm scheduled to be induced :) (I think my Mom is hoping he is born on the 17th so they can share a birthday!)
I'm so excited to meet him and get to see what he looks like and get to know his personality! I can't wait for River to meet him and hope he won't be jealous and try to kill him :) I think the will love each other though and can't wait for them to be good friends. I am getting a little nervous about going into newborn stage again...sleepless nights and then all day with a newborn and 2 year old! How do you Mom's do it?! Give me some advice you wish you would have been given about having a second child, I'm going to need it!!

I have been trying really hard to not feel guilty about not getting as much done every day as I used to. If the laundry doesn't get folded or the dishes don't get done, don't worry. Concentrate on the two most important things: taking care of your sweet baby and making time for River.
You are so cute Christin. I'm really excited for you guys. As far as I'm concerned your pregnancy has been the fastest pregnancy ever. You are almost done? That is crazy. I guarantee you will just fall right back into it. You have a very happy and healthy 2 year old, you got this. I can't wait to meet him. We are coming at the end of June/first of July so plan on a visit from the Nelsons!
