Countdown

The countdown has begun around here! 16 more days until the induction is scheduled, but we know that he could come at any time! I will be 37 weeks tomorrow! The bags are packed and I think I have like 3 lists going just to make sure that we don't forget anything if we have to leave in a hurry!

The plan is to pack up everything (including both dogs) in the truck and head to Yukon where Raymond will drop me off at the hospital to start checking in and everything. He will then take both dogs to the apartment in Yukon and come back to join me in labor :) My parents will then check on the dogs at the apartment until Wyatt arrives. After Wyatt gets here, Raymond will be able to leave the hospital to check on the dogs. It may sound a little crazy, but with the special circumstances with Diesel we didn't want to leave him in Weatherford or board him and Nellie is just spoiled :)

It kinda sounds like we have things figured out, but I am sure it will all fall apart and we will be making trips to the store or back to Weatherford to get things that we forgot, but that's okay because our little man will be making his arrival!

I hope to be posting pictures of Wyatt soon so keep your eyes open :) Pictures will probably make it to facebook first, but I promise to get them up here as soon as possible!

Last month!

I realized that I haven't posted in a month! Well we are definitely close now! Induction is scheduled for 3 weeks from Friday and it cannot get here soon enough! I am officially uncomfortable! I cannot sleep and I am always hot which does not help the sleeping situation.

We have our last baby shower on Sunday in Geronimo and then we will just be waiting on Wyatt to make his arrival :) It's hard to believe that the time is almost here, but we can't wait to meet our little one! :)

The picture upload thing isn't working so I will try to upload pictures from our showers in Lawton and Weatherford later!

Valentine's Day

My valentine's day this year was very different from all other years. I think it's my first taste of how things will be different as a mom. Raymond is off on the weekends which means he had to work today and we didn't think we would even get to see each other. But it turns out that they had an opening for our ultrasound today which meant that he would drive to Yukon to go to the ultrasound with me! :) So it worked out for the best!

Our little man decided not to cooperate, but we were not surprised. He has had an attitude the whole pregnancy and seems to do what he wants. He kicks the doppler off my belly at the doctor's office, moves almost all day, and spends most of his day pushed up against the outside of my belly. The ultrasound was no different. He was so close to the wall that it was hard to see him and he also would not take his hand away from his face. Even though he wasn't cooperating we managed to get a good look at his nose (which looks exactly like his daddy), lips (which are the perfect shape), hands, and feet. He is perfect! Seeing him makes it all so real! He will be here in 7 weeks!! He continues to measure right on time and should be a good sized baby :)

Enough of the typing, here are the pictures :)

The spiky stuff is apparently hair :)

Smiling :) Probably after he kicked me!

Needless to say this Valentine's day was one to remember. I didn't need flowers or chocolate because I was able to go with my husband to see our son! Lets me know that life is about to change, but I can't wait! We look forward to meeting Wyatt John Scott April 6 or before :)

More Pictures! :)

I realized that I hadn't posted a bump picture in a long time so here they are! I have really enjoyed taking this pictures and seeing how he is growing! I don't notice it as much because I see it every day, but it's neat to see how much he grows in just a week! Hard to believe that he will be here in about 9 weeks! :) We absolutely cannot wait! We also are doing a 4D ultrasound on Valentine's Day so we will get to see him one more time before he is here.

3rd Trimester

Finally there! When I first found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks, I thought I would NEVER make it to the third trimester! And I was so sick then it made the time pass extremely slowly, but I have made it!

Everyone told me that the third trimester is hard and how uncomfortable you are. I listened, but I couldn't imagine it because I felt so amazing in the second trimester! Well, it has hit! I am having trouble sleeping, my back hurts almost all day, and by the end of the day I feel huge and miserable. Oh and have I mentioned the heart burn? It's lovely. I take a Prilosec every morning and still end up needed 3-4 tums throughout the day. Awesome! And when the heartburn comes, my belly is so cramped I can't burp to make it better. Sorry for the details, but it's definitely not fun. I can't imagine where Wyatt is going to fit as he continues to grow these next 11 weeks!

I do have to say I prefer this to the sickness of the first trimester. And now I know that in 11 short weeks (or maybe less) I will be holding my baby in my arms and will forget about the long hard 9 months it took to get there!

I have my first baby shower in 2 weeks and then another one in 6 weeks. I am very excited to start getting the big things we need and actually start filling up that room! I also can't wait to spend some time with people I don't get to see as often anymore!

I am also down to 3 more rotations before graduation and it's a weird feeling. After going to school for 6 years, it's hard to imagine being done! Achieving my goal and not having to sit in another class again! We are very excited to reach this point and are looking forward to the next chapter! Timeline wise it looks like I will finish classes May 25 and we will be moving so that I can start work June 4. It looks like it's going to work out for us to buy my parent's land and manufactured home so we will be able to start moving into the house any time and won't have to move everything all at once which is a blessing! Raymond will be staying home with Wyatt, at least for awhile, and we plan to start building our cattle herd!

I think that's about all that is going on for now. About 80 more days until my due date and we cannot wait to meet our baby boy!

Nursery

I have gotten a little behind on blogging. We got the crib in right after Christmas and now have the nursery set up! :)

You can't see it, but the blanket on the end has "Wyatt John" embroidered in hunter green. :)

This is the dresser. I haven't taken any more pictures recently, but we switched the curtains out for navy blue ones.

Having the nursery set up makes us one step closer! I am 27 weeks, just 3 months to go!! :)

Halfway!

I am now 21 weeks along and a little over halfway! I am so thankful that I am feeling great!! I started feeling Wyatt move right at 20 weeks and Raymond got to feel him for the first time just before 21 weeks! It's so exciting! The first time I felt him it was just random and then I didn't feel him for a long time. Now he moves almost all day! I love it most of the time except when he decides to kick my bladder or when he won't stop moving so I can sleep.

We have started registering and we are looking forward to starting the nursery decorating! The crib should be here some time in December. We picked cars, planes, and trains as a theme for the nursery and I think it will look great!

As I think about the upcoming months, it's a little overwhelming with having Wyatt in April, finishing my last rotation in May, moving to the Lawton/Elgin area sometime in May or June, starting work in June, and taking my boards in July!! It will definitely be a busy few months, but I am sure we will make it through!

Here is my 21 week bump picture!
