Time is a Tickin'

With only about 26 more days to go, pregnancy will finally come to a close and we will invite little Olivia June Nielsen into our world!  I had to give Baca the first name of Olivia b/c he will then give me the right to chose all the rest of the babys names...BUT- she will be called June.  So far we have some of the nursery built and put together such as the crib and a dresser.  We still need baby bedding and a rocking chair (which Wal Mart has a decent priced one I would like) and a changing pad/pillow to put on top of the dresser.  We also have to fit a small mattress in the baby room for when my mom comes to help out!  Tight squeeze in that little room but I will be grateful for her help <3  I will try to get the room together and get pics up!  We have so much to do in so little time.  I just can't wait to be able to lay on my back and belly again.  I already know I won't be able to sleep :P

Thus begins the month of a weekly visit to the doctor.  My last visit was to check my cervix and see how things were going. So far I am 0 dilated, 50% effaced, and +1 station.  She has for sure dropped (which I noticed b/c I can breath)  She is set pretty low in my pelvis and I have really felt it the last couple of days.  I now waddle not only b/c I am larger, but b/c she is pinching a nerve in my left buttocks.  I have tried to stretch it out but I think she is determined to remind me every time I get up, bend over, try to put pants on, and walk- that she is there ready to say hello soon.  Thankfully, Baca and I have signed up for a baby class at LDS hospital and it helps a ton!  We only have this Saturday and we are done, it is definitely worth going to for your first child!  I wish I had the camera to snap a pic of Bacas face when he got to see his first birthing video.  I felt his pain when I saw my first as well...poor guy.

Other than that, trying not to have too many nightmares where I give birth at work in the meat cooler, or don't make it to the hospital in time, ect.  Just trying to dream would be a nice thing lol.
