So here's my belly in all it's glory @ 38 weeks. Notice the nice line that goes across from my pants? Um yeah - even my maternity pants don't fit me - what does that say?? Today I am really officially 39 weeks and 2 days, so imagine that belly, only bigger now. I have to say that even though I am huge and can barely get around, I have managed to do SO much stuff this week. My last day of work was last Friday, so I have had a whole week off to really kick my nesting into gear. Which - by the way, not sure I approve of this over-used pregnancy saying. I am pretty sure that I would be doing the things I am doing with a week off of work whether or not a child would be entering my world at any moment. Here's what I've done - 10 loads of laundry, washed the windows, cleaned the baseboards, organized my pantry, fermanated the crap out of the cats, washed the car, got new windshield wipers and gas cap, got the second car towed and over to the mechanic so we can be a two car family again, stocked up on all pet supplies, stocked up on a ton of groceries, made homemade dinner every night, and watched Oprah every day. These are all things that I have been needing and wanting to do for so long, but have not had the time to do them - with a week off work I got them ALL done! Woot woot! On a second note - I have come over the bump of "what the heck am I going to do with a child?!" and am now on to the amazement and excitement that I am GOING TO HAVE A DAUGHTER any day now!! I really, honestly, seriously cannot wait to meet her, hold her, and just hang out with her. I am not very good with this whole "waiting" thing - not knowing when and how this is all going to happen is making me a little crazy - every little twinge, cramp, and back ache has me thinking "is this it?! am I in labor??" and then i lay down, and it goes away. Yeah - not so fun.
Just hurry up and get here already, ok? OK!
