Big changes...

It's been a really long time since I've blogged about anything. I'm either really lazy or we're really busy. Not quite sure which one, but hey, at least I'm trying right. What happened tonight has been a big fear of mine for quite a while. We moved Paisley downstairs to her brand new bedroom and big girl bed. She'll be 2 1/2 on April 27th so I guess she's old enough to move out of the crib. I never realized how hard it would be to do this. Chase did a really good remodel job. He painted the walls... 2 are bright pink and 2 are white. We got new carpet, it feels like you're walking on a pillow. I bought her furniture at a yard sale during the summer. I'm making some decorations for the room. She loves it! We also turned the living room downstairs into a play room. We put pictures on the walls, pulled out my old tv, hung a valance above the windows and put all of the toys in the living room. It looks so much better. Paisley absolutely loves it downstairs. I love it too because I can be on the computer or getting things done upstairs and she's not right under my nose. Tonight is her first night sleeping in the new room. We all sat on her new bed and read scriptures. Then we sang a song and had prayer. I was worried she would decide she didn't want to sleep downstairs but she climbed under the covers and got comfy, then I sang her another song and walked out. We set up the baby monitor, but I haven't heard a peep. Yes, I cried. She looked so teeny laying in this huge big girl bed. I feel like a bad mother, sending my baby down to the basement. But in reality, it's not that far away and she was so excited about her new room. I have to give her more credit. My baby girl isn't such a baby anymore.
Speaking of baby. I am 38 weeks today. I've been having some contractions off and on for the past few days. We went to the doctor today. I went totally expecting him to check me and find I'm dilated or else send me to the hospital because she's coming soon. The complete opposite happened. He checked me and those dreaded words came out of his mouth... Thick and Closed. Ugh! I'm not sure I can make it 2 more weeks. My back has been really sore this pregnancy and I'm tired. I feel like a balloon. But... I have to think about the positive things. I'm healthy and as far as we know the baby is healthy too. I haven't had any complications. There are so many people out there who would do anything to be pregnant but for one reason or another they aren't, and I am blessed to be pregnant. So I think I can handle 2 more weeks. My doctor said he's going out of town next weekend and he'll induce me on Thursday the 17th if I want. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I really don't want to be induced, I want to go on my own, but at the same time, I don't want to take the chance of delivering while he's gone and have some kind of complication. It's hard to know what to do. I'll go to my appointment on Tuesday the 15th and just go from there. Hopefully I will have progressed some. Who knows, maybe I'll go a week early like I did with Paisley.
