The Itch - 36 weeks and counting!

Hi...me again.

I've got the itch to be done with this whole pregnancy thing. I'm really tired of being pregnant and I just want to have this baby. I want to see its face. I want to feel its skin. I want to kiss its lips and hear its cry and watch it sleep and see it smile....I am ready to meet this little miracle.  What's a girl gotta do to get things moving? At week 37, next week, I plan to pull out all the stops.  I'm done being patient...4 more weeks is too many. (course I will wait if God wills it...but I really hope He's on my side with this one.) My body aches and I can't sleep at night..so I might as well have a really good reason (like a live baby) to not sleep at night, because aching hips seem like a really lame reason to lose sleep. Anyway...

I'm not working in the shop anymore. They've booted me out to start my working from home/nesting phase before baby comes.  I'd like to say that for the record, I rather enjoy working from home....well, really i've not done a ton of work this week, I've been sleeping in and preparing to nest. Ive got a list of nesting projects and a list of work projects...I'll have to take each of them one step at a time.  EEP!  Baby Soon!!!

ok...gotta go nest. I like saying that. "I must nest now"  I built the cats a blanket nest that they sleep in..so they're helping me to nest as well.  Such good boys!  ok....see you all at the 4th! WOOP WOOP!

Baby Shower Number Two!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it's been so long since I last blogged.  I get tired and the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer and type things...so I usually don't. But I owe you all an update! Especially those of you who don't see me often.  I am having baby shower number 2 at my house tomorrow. Josh and I spent the day cleaning and making sure everything looks (and smells) great!  Jan, Kelli, and aunt Laurie are throwing me a shower and I'm not sure who is coming, but it should be a fun time.  Hopefully this baby gets some more awesome loot. :)

This past Friday I hit my 34th week.  Things are moving fast!  I had a doctor appointment on Friday the 31st and I'm measuring up like I should be and everything is checking out great.  I will go in to the doc again on the 14th, I believe, and then after that it will be every week until baby is born.  I'm getting really, really antsy now. Baby is getting heavy and I'm getting increasingly more uncomfortable.  Sleep is really hit or miss.  Thursday night, I slept so hard I was apparently snoring and only woke up once about 40 min before my alarm to go pee.  Friday night, I slept horribly and was awake every hour. I just wish I could get some more nights like Thursday before Little One comes.  I know it's going to be rough for a while, so I'd appreciate the opportunity to sleep well before things change for 18 years. (in 18 years, this kid will be sleeping in until noon every day, therefore allowing me to sleep until 9 if I want! woop!)

Anyway, I am really getting excited to meet Little One and can't wait to find out what his or her name will be.  We have some picked out, so I can't wait to know what this beautiful little being will go by. EEEP!  Here are a few fun pictures to show you some of how I've been progressing. The bump grows then drops, grows then drops.  This past week was a drop week.  Hopefully you'll know what I mean. :)  Enjoy!
