Look at this big ol' thang...

40weeks2d.... amazing what 2 days overdue can do to you mentally. I'm already feeling emotional. Hanging in there though.... hanging in there... There is an end in sight..
My induction is Tuesday at 6am... Somehow that seems SO close and SO far away at the same time.

I'm so swollen right now it's amazing.

I need to fold laundry, vacuum, mop.... I'm hoping for at least one contraction to scare me and make me get up and do those things...

I feel bad complaining- I'm very grateful for my little one... I just can't wait to meet her

Two days in a row :)

You're getting really lucky! I've posted 2 days in a row.

I looked in the mirror and scared myself this morning. I look like p0o00p. My face is getting so swollen. My arms are swollen. My hands are swollen. My legs? Well they've been swollen for 15 weeks now. Pooop I tell you.... po0.

I went to my nonstress test today. I have a very lazy baby. She had to be buzzed about 3x- she didn't want to move around. If I hummed though- she'd move more... She either likes my singing or she's horrified by it ;-)

I ran a few errands today. Now I'm avoiding folding some laundry. Tom's parents are bringing over Emma's bookcase any minute. I promise I'll post pictures once it arrives.

**UPDATE** I think the bookcase looks great!

2 posts in one day!!

Can you believe it, Trish?? :)

-Windshield is done. Yay for new windshield...

-OB appt went well. I was 2cm dilated. They stripped my membranes again. Let's hope that gets something going naturally. If not my induction is next Tuesday at 6am.

Now we're hanging out at home. Later on we are going to pick up my jogging stroller from Walmart. Then we're going to go eat some Indian food. I wonder if Indian food has some kind of labor inducing spices ;)

Due Date :)

Today is my due date!!! I can't believe it. I can't believe the day is finally here. You know the minute you get your BFP you sit down and figure out your due date... (it was changed a couple weeks later) but still... you get this date just stuck in your head. At the time it seems SOOOOOOO far away.... and now that day is TODAY... It's surreal! :)

Sorry I haven't update this thing enough!!! (Sorry Trish- especially since I check your blog for an update everyday!)

But I was actually just getting on here to start to update this thing. I'm sure quite a few of the posts are going to be boring but I'm going to make a point to update it. EVERY DAY. No matter what....

So here goes. So far today I've drank some egg nog. Brushed my teeth (threw up while doing that- I sure hope that's the last time that happens) Piece of advice- Don't drink egg nog then brush your teeth. BLALLAAAHHH!! I can't tell this story to Tom- he HATES egg nog and he'd probably die thinking the sink is evil and tainted forever... hehe :)

I'm waiting for some guy to come replace the windshield in my car. It's been cracked for almost a year now. For some reason I decide the week of my due date to get it replaced. I mean- insurance pays for it. Why did I wait so long?? Who knows... just feel bad for him out repairing it in the 29 degree weather....

I have an OB appt today at 3:15. Let's hope for some PROGRESS. I'm sure they'll schedule my induction today too- for next Wednesday.

I'm impatiently waiting for her... though I feel very blessed. I have no been uncomfortable... so I'm very blessed. Just knowing she will be here within the next 8 days just gets me feeling excited, freaked out, blessed, amazed, scared.... ya know...

I love you so much Emma, I can't wait to be able to kiss your little face..

(39 weeks- I'll try and take another picture today)

My baby girl is getting bigger....

29wk3d old :) They say she has a left cheek dimple and she already has hair on her head.

Just stuff...

Bought Emma's Take-Home outfit today. I can't believe in a little less than 3 months I'll be bringing her home in it. An actual baby.... crazy! :) It just doesn't seem real yet!

We have so much stuff to do! We have the paint sitting in her room. We really need to paint the nursery! lol :) The crib should be arriving any day now... Her closet is already full. Plus I'm having 3 showers in October. This is going to be the best dressed little gal! :)

My coworker gave me her baby bouncer, baby swing & baby glider yesterday. I have all the fabric washed and all the equipment wiped down. Free stuff is good :) I also got a free bassinet the other day. Never been used! :)

Tom should be finding out this week if he got the job he applied for. Please pray he does! :)

Time to update...

I'm really bad at this blogging thing. I'm way over due to post! Since my last update we had our big ultrasound. We're having a girl! :) Her name will be Emma Renee! On 8/1 we had a 3D ultrasound. I *may* be biased but I think she's beautiful already.

























































I can't believe how fast time is flying. I'm 26weeks today. I'm sure time will continue to go fast. I have at least one event occuring EVERY weekend until Oct 11th.

I have a bachelorette party to go to this Friday. I think it'll be fun. Even if I'm just sitting there enjoying the music. Unfortunately I have to work Saturday.

If you were going- and the first event starts at a bar about 7:30 and the party bus arrives at 9 to take you everywhere else. Would you show up at 7:30 or 8?
