Bored

Give me a hammer and some nails....maybe I could make something of myself so I'm not so freakin bored. It's not as though I couldn't find SOMETHING to do. There's a few dishes that could be washed and other general cleaning. The laundry I washed earlier could be put away. What am I doing instead?? Sitting on the couch flipping channels feeling like there is nothing to do. what it really is? There is nothing that I WANT to do. Even worse, I don't even know what I want to do. Part of me wouldn't mind gettin gup and going somewhere. Maybe walk Target or BRU or the mall or something. Then I get up to walk to the bathroom and I'm reminded of the immense pressure I have at the moment and it doesn't sound like such a good idea after all. I've read books, played games online, read blogs, chatted on IM, played more games, watched a movie, took a nap......

I'm getting restless. I'm anxious to have the next couple days over with. Even though I know Tuesday night is going to be horrible and I doubt I'll sleep much in anticipation. I wonder how X will fare that night as well. I hope we're not at each other from being anxious and all that. I'm already going to be on edge after being home by myself all day since J will be in school and X at work. Blah. I need something to do.

39 Weeks

I wasn't supposed to make it this far. I was supposed to be lucky if I made it past 37 weeks. YA RIGHT. Here I sit 2 weeks later.....and still carting a newborn in my belly. I have no doubt he is at least as big as J was at birth which is fine. Hopefully not much more than that though. It's wierd how the movement feels at this point too. I feel more of the nobby knees and heels than anything else. Ever watched a foot just slide across the belly? It's kinda freaky. Course, he gets camera shy if I try to video it so you'll just have to take my word on it. Thankfully, only 2 more days to get through after this before we get to go to the hospital. Can you see me jumping up and down here? No? Your right I'm not but if I could I would! Here's proof of the belly at 39 weeks....

And if your even remotely curious as to all teh official stuff, here's some info about being 39 weeks. I especially love the mini watermelon part. Just the image I need when facing labor/delivery in the next couple days.

"How your baby's growing:Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath."

Mmmmmmmmm

Maybe I'm getting a last bit of energy before E decides to come. Maybe, I just wanted something good to eat. Tonights menu.....homemade Lasagna (even the sauce is homemade), salad, and garlic bread. Whats that?? No, i didn't forget dessert. That would be an Oreo creme pie. Ya, we're eating good over here tonight!

I'm on Leave!

Woohoo!! I am officially on maternity leave as of this moment. I honestly can't believe we made it to this point. When we made the plans so many months ago i seriously thought he would be here early and we would never make it to this day. Well here we are. Only 4 1/2 days left (today is basically done) till little guy is definitely here.

J and I walked to Office Max to pick up a couple school supplies and while we were walking I realized and said to her "You know J, todya is our last Friday before E gets here". She said uh huh and humored me but I don't think she really understood that statement. It really is the last Friday of just the three of us! **Sigh**

Awesome Photo's

Helping out a good friend here and hopefully others can reassure her how good her photo's are! Take a look HERE and leave some comments!

At open house tonight the local girl scout troop leader was there handing out info for girls to register. This is something I've been thinking of for several months, just never got around to doing it. So tonight we did. J is now officially a member of the girl scouts. Course she told me the first meeting is on the 4th at 6:30pm. I totally wasn't thinking b/c there is no way we'll make that unless E decides to come early. If he waits till the 3rd I'll still be in the hospital and I don't see X taking her. Guess I'll need to call the leader tomorrow!

Bad Ideas

Went home for lunch today and was watching a little Discovery Health Channel while relaxing. The show...."Amazing Births". It's content....nothing but women giving birth to babies in cars. Ya.....bad bad bad idea!
