On second thought...

Maybe I'll just stay pregnant. Just Kidding!!! Not that I really have anything to complain about, because I have truly been blessed with a wonderful pregnancy, but I can't describe the feeling I have for wanting to meet this little life inside me. I'll keep this post short and sweet, because I am sure you will be hearing from me again. And I suppose I will go to work today, no reason to stay home and wait, there is nothing left to do. :)

A figment of imagination

This is just a figment of your imagination that you are seeing this post. Oh, I really wish it was. I am still hanging in there. In fact I had to have a talk with this little man, because it was a chilly 54 degrees here this morning and this pregnant lady does not have warm maternity clothes. So he has got to definitely come soon if this cool weather intends on sticking around. I have to hand it to him though, he's pretty smart for staying in there where he is nice an toasty all the time. Chilly or not Isaac and I were up bright and early and decided to walk to a gas station near our home to get the Sunday paper, and yes because I have nothing better to do, I map quested it out for your knowledge and mine, we walked a distance of 1.27 miles, a few contractions and that's it. NOTHING!! Well the day is still young, so hopefully something soon.

It can't be much longer.......Right??

Bet you didn't expect to hear from me today, Did you?? If it makes you feel any better, I was hoping you wouldn't either. So I have been up since 6:00am cleaning (I truly thought there was nothing left to clean, but I was determined to find something to do). And I did....I washed the "two" loads of laundry I had, and they were small... I made my own separation of colors, to make more than one load just to take up more time..LOL!!! I washed all the rugs in the house. I even washed the dogs bed for crying out loud. Then re-swept and mopped the floors, they didn't need it but it gave me something to do. Scrubbed spots out of the carpets, spots that only the eye of a 40week along, overdue pregnant women that can't sleep could find. Thank goodness Isaac came home and rescued me. I think my next step could have been washing all of our clean clothes.

With bags packed and ready to go, we are anxiously awaiting your arrival little boy!!

Please make your appearance soon.

Will today be the day?

It is officially D-Day!! Yep, we made it to the doctors expected due date. I thought for sure I wouldn't be sitting here making this post this morning after waking up around 3 am with some pretty intense contractions and back pain.

That lasted for about an hour then slowed and continued through the early morning, and I am still having them, but nothing close enough together to make a trip to Labor and Delivery. (seriously) So for now I am off to work, hoping that today will be the day and very much ready for my baby to be here.

Still Here!!

Yep, still here! Still pregnant, still! Yesterday came and gone, Isaac didn't get his baby on the 3rd as he had hoped. But he reassured me that he was okay, because if he has waited this long he supposed he could wait another day or two, but anything longer than that, I was going to need to pick up the speed. LOL!! But at any rate there is time yet this evening for something to take place, not sure if there is time for an arrival, so we will just hope for the best!

Belly Pic, OB Visit and Nursery Pictures

Well, I am still pregnant, as of right now that is. I had a doctors appointment this afternoon and it was suppose to be my last appt, but we will see. They made me go ahead and schedule an appointment for next week just in case. But after seeing Midwife Katie today she thinks I won't make it through the end of the weekend, in fact she is thinking it could really be just any moment. I am still dilated about the same maybe a little closer to 2cm, but I am almost 80% effaced and the baby's head is now at -1 station. She was very happy with how thinned and soft my cervix was. But she made sure not to tamper too much, because below the baby's head is a bulging sac of amniotic fluid that she seem to think good give way at any time, she was sure if she applied any pressure it would break. Ahhhh!!!! Oh lord, I just hope that my water doesn't break in public. That would be super embarrassing. But I am going to try to get a walk in tonight, I really am so we will see if that helps anything progress.

I took this picture this morning.

 I am going to try to take a picture every morning that I am still pregnant, Hopefully I won't need to take to many more of these.

I also went ahead and took a few pictures of the nursery. I wouldn't say that it is 100% complete but it is close enough for a partial reveal. There are just a few more things that I would like to get done, but if baby comes I am not sure that I will get around to it and what is done so far will just have to do :)
I am not quite ready to share the whole room with you yet, so you are getting just a peek.

The mobile is one item that isn't completely finished, I tend to think that the (medium size) lighter blue/teal fish need to be red. I think that they would match the bedding a little better, but Isaac likes it how it is. I found these wooden fish at Bealls Outlet, I got an embroidery hoop and hung them from it. I am pretty sure that I would also like to paint the embroidery hoop or wrap it in a fabric. We'll see.

I got wooden letters from Jo-Ann Fabric for the baby's name, the best part, they were 1/2 off :)

I painted them blue and put nautical rope on the edges of the letters. I am pretty happy with how it came out.

Love this plaid fabric that I also found at Jo-Ann's and pretty much stole for a great price. Isaac's Mom made the cover for the seat cushion and made the window treatments.

We also got this fabric for a great price and Isaac's mom recovered the cushions for the glider. This is a much better look than it was before the touch of new fabric :)

I found the following items for a great deal and couldn't resist getting them for the room.

Maybe you will be hearing from me again tomorrow. Isaac still has his hopes this baby is coming tonight. All I have to say is that if he is he only has 3 hours and 15 minutes to do so.. Guess I better get to walking..
