ticking and tocking (pics included)

 
Well well well…. guess who is STILL pregnant? If you guessed me… you win a cookie because I am still pregnant. 38 weeks and 1 day and I am so ready to have this baby! I feel like a planet! I keep waiting for the contractions to start and every day goes by and nothing happens and I am so frustrated lol. The girl from my forum who was due the day before me, she just had her baby yesterday. And I’m still pregnant. And its 101 today and with the humidity it feels like 105+ and it is way too hot to be this pregnant. Sleeping is impossible, I feel uncomfortable no matter how I am sitting, I am tired all the time but I can’t get much sleep, I have to pee every 5 seconds it seems like…. yeah… I’m ready. So send me some labor dust please because having this little one inside me still is driving me nuts and I want this little one evicted!

And incase you all were wondering what a planet prego belly looks like…..

That is my 37 week belly so I am even bigger then that now. The OB said that the baby had dropped a decent amount but still no contractions. I go back on the 13th, but honestly I’m hoping that I go into labor before that. This is definitely hubby and my’s baby… stubborn til the end. What you see in the background of those pics is the nursery. I have some other pics of it…

I think it turned out beautiful! And that last pic is of a sign that I designed and Chris and I made together. It hangs right over the crib. Now all I need is the baby to put in there.

Oh and my list….

• first aid kit
• body wash
• shampoo
• baby oil
• alcohol swabs

So we are pretty much covered. We are waiting on the monitor since the baby is going to be sleeping in our room for a while and those last couple things we are picking up since the stuff on our registry is now on sale because its 2 weeks before my due date and I think we are going to wait til this weekend to go pick them up since hubs gets paid on Thursday. We also found out that he didn’t get Bravo company… he got Charlie company which means that there is a very good possibility he will deploy in January. Not what I wanted but he would have a lot more time with the baby and we would get to celebrate the holidays together. But that deployment is up in the air… he may leave sooner, he may leave later… I don’t know what to expect with that now. But no matter what happens I will take it, I don’t have a choice, but I’m ready.

I even went to meet up with one of the organizers of a Mommy and Me play group. I am determined to not just sit around, especially since Molly got the official orders from Justin and they are leaving in the beginning of February and Molly is one of my best friends here. It sucks to see her go, but as is with life in the Army, but I want to have other people to hang out with so I am looking at groups I can join so I can meet other people. It’s important that I keep busy once Chris deploys and getting to know other people to hang out with is a great start. I refuse to just sit at home and be lonely and depressed when he deploys… so I’m doing what I can now.

And I have to start looking into healthy foods… because I want to get on a healthy diet once the baby is born. I know that I won’t drop the baby weight right away and I will need to hit the gym and eat right and enough since I plan on breastfeeding and will need extra calories. And I know that I will be too sore to hit the gym right away so I figured eating healthy is a good way to jump start getting my pre-prego body back. Gotta do healthy recipie research lol.

Ok.. enough babble… I will post more later… hopefully about me going into labor and heaing to the hospital lol.

… don’t be afraid, sometimes they come true! … music is my life
