Welp.. .no baby yet... UGH!!!  But I think its getting closer to time because I am super irritable and having more pain!! I was planning on having the doctor scrape my cervix/membranes on Monday but now i don't think I will because of this damn boat!!  But I am still thinking about it because I really need this baby out of me. I am in serious pain! I cant sleep at night anymore because laying down causes heartburn and moving hurts! 

I feel bad for my 2 year old and my puppy because they both get the blunt end of my mood swings because they are with me all the time =( but there isn't anything I can do about it unfortunately. But having a toddler who is learning things all the time that can get him into trouble probably doesn't help. Plus a puppy who is chewing on everything because he is teething plus just being an ornery puppy. Normally I would think its cute but now its driving me insane!!

I went to the hospital on Wednesday evening because I was having contractions that were coming every 3-4 min but they weren't painful to me at all. So I called the doctor and she told me to go get checked out just in case. So after nothing registered on 3 monitors they switched me rooms and finally got the contractions to read. But unfortunately they weren't dilating me =(. So they sent me home.  So Thursday and Friday  Heather and I walked down at Ocean Front. I have been having some pretty strong contractions but no set pattern =(.  I'm hoping I will go into labor tonight/tomorrow. But the way its going i'm so not holding my breath on it =(. The way everything has been going I don't look for this baby until my induction on the 27th/28th. 

I had my ultrasound yesterday to make sure everything was okay with the little guy. Well they did all his measurments and he is measuring at 39-40weeks putting my due date at April 18th instead of May 3rd. So if I don't go into labor before my induction date of April 27th the baby will be a week overdue when he is born =//. 

He is already predicted to weigh 8lbs so hopefully he doesn't wait to much longer before he comes because I dont think I can manage to push out a huge baby!!!  But I am so excited to see him!!! And have him home with us! I am slightly nervous to see how Alexander reacts to having to share his Mommy and Daddy. But it will be all worth it. 

I am really hoping that Gavin comes soon so I get a "test" run to see how I can handle an infant and a toddler before any long underway or "D" day! 

I have been debating on trying caster oil again. I tried it with Alexander and it did absolutely nothing!  So I dont really want to spend the money on it and it not work. So I am going to try pineapple and continue to eat spicy foods [which i love]. I am having contractions now so i keep trying to walk to get them to even out and get closer together but its not working yet =(. 

I realized yesterday night I have started the "nesting" process. Yesterday I cleaned the living room, starting by washing the cushion covers and puling the furniture out. Then vacuumed everything and started dusting everything before my doctors appointment. But I didn't get much done after my doctors appointment because Anthony was home and was telling me to relax and blah blah, lol. 

Unfortunately we cant go for our evening walk with daddy today, maybe not at all because its suppose to storm =//  I hate when it storms/rains. It does it at least 3 days a week here and its killer!!! I am sick of dealing with rain all the time! I would love to be able to go do something all week long but it isnt happening that way =[. 

Well today I am taking Alexander to go play with Asher. [A friend's son] He is one of the only little boys around Alex's age. They play very well together, which is surprising to me because when Alexander plays with the girls he is mean to them, but they are also mean to him so maybe thats why =//.

Well hopefully the next time I blog I will have Gavin Ignacio Martinez outta my belly.... haha if only I can get that lucky!!! 

Last night was the first FRG meeting... of the deployment, we still have a little while before it starts [a really little while]!! But it was fun, the new board has a lot of new ideas that will be fun to do. And as long as we can keep ourselves busy then deployment will fly by !!! well it should fly by anyways because I am going to be juggling a toddler and a new born.. YIPEE!! lol 

I am really excited for Gavin to get here!!  I have been carrying him for 37 weeks... and man am i exhausted, lol! My back pains are getting worse and almost unbearable at times!!! Yesterday I debated on going to the hospital because it hurt so bad. But I got it under control or at least tolerable... but they are acting up again today... hopefully they either come with contractions so i can go to the hospital or they aren't very painful. 

Then this morning... I woke up and looked out the window and my Bran NEW freaking explorer has a damn flat tire!!! OHHHH I am pissed!!!  But I have to wait for Anthony to get home from work...to take it somewhere to get fixed =// hopefully the Dealer because we paid for all that crap so they have to fix it for free instead of us paying for someone to do it. But we also have a birthday party at 2... and he may or may not be off work by noon =// ughhhh!! 

I really dont want to miss the birthday party because its for my wifey's daughter!! She is turning 5. And her mom is having her baby monday =))

contractions contractions contractions

I am having contractions all the time, but they aren't close enough together to go to the hospital! Hopefully they are at least dilating me more, so maybe on Monday she will keep me when I go in for my appointment... that would be GREAT! 

With Alexander I wasn't in this much pain until the week i delivered him, so maybe that's what this means =] Well I sure HOPE SO!!!! 

Tonight is our first FRG meeting for the ship so hopefully I don't go into labor during it or before it. I would really like to go and see what is going on and everything for this deployment! 

If carrying a baby isn't stressful enough the freaking government cant agree because the idiots of America decided it would be smart to vote in a split congress... So now when it comes to the budget they are fighting over it instead of getting something accomplished, a bunch of freaking 2 year old's is what they are acting like!!!!!  If they don't get this figured out by midnight tonight, the government "shuts down" but these idiots have decided not to continue to pay the military during the government shut down. So if they don't get something figured out then we will get 1/2 our check on the 15th because they will only pay for what happened before the shut down. But they are still expected to report to work like nothing is happening and just not get paid for it. Well eventually we will get paid for it, but the government is slow enough with back pay i cant imagine how long it will take to repay the entire military for at least 1/4 of a month... smh

I am now 36 weeks pregnant! YAY!!!! I had a doctors appointment this morning and I am already 3 centimeter's dilated =))!!! Now I just have to get these contractions coming stronger and closer together!! 

My uterus is measuring weird. Last Monday it measured at 34 1/2 weeks and today i measured at 37 weeks. =// But it got me an ultrasound!! I haven't had one done since I was 20 weeks pregnant. I'm so excited to see my baby again =)) 

I am so ready to have this baby.... I am really ready to go into labor and have a healthy baby =)!! Gavin Ignacio is ready to be born, Mommy is having contractions :-) they are about 20-25 min apart right now... but that could go away or continue for over a week =( we have to wait till they are 3-5 minutes apart to go to the hospital
