Is it time, yet????

OK. Let's get the show on the road here little one. Your room is all done, thanks to Oma and Opa, so come on! One week and one day....I hope you don't come late. (everyone cross their fingers!)


The jokes are starting to be cracked from people asking if I have a pumpkin under my shirt, and I have a "cute" pregnant lady waddle. Cute-shmute, my feet hurt and I feel like I have to lean backwards, or I will fall forwards!

Comparison - 20 weeks vs 35 weeks




Besides the dorky "smile" in the 2nd pic (if you ever wondered what my fake smile looks like, that's it!)...I'm surprised that shirt still fits!














2 weeks to go.....


Baby is head down and dropped, which is great, however I was a little disappointed I'm not dilated. Come on baby, it's time to come out now! :) I'm thinking by the next appointment I will be though, but we will see.


I had a visit with Figgy's pediatrician today and she was very nice. I was filling out some health history paperwork, and had to think twice about "Mother's Health History". No, not MY Mom's history, but MY history! I'm the Mom! Yikes!
I am getting so excited for the big day to arrive. It's tough though, not knowing when that big day is. It could be tomorrow, or it could be 3 weeks from now! I'm not overly huge (even though in that pic I guess I look pretty big), so they probably wouldn't induce labor unless something happens. My doc guessed that Figgy was about 7lbs - 7lbs 2 oz. A little bit larger than normal for 38 weeks, but not ginormous, which is good. :-)

2 weeks, 5 days

Well, here I sit at the computer at 11:45 at night. Why? Because I napped too long after work, and my brain won't stopping spinning, plus it's pretty hard to get comfortable in bed.

We are still SOOO very excited, but still a little anxious, which is normal...right? I'm sure that won't go away until we get a decent routine down. Mikko has been acting like a big dork the past couple of days, which makes me think something MIGHT happen soon. Doc told me not to get my hopes up, of the baby coming early, but it's hard not to. I don't think anyone is every 100% ready, but I am ready as I will ever be!

We still need to paint the kid's room and get the crib, but nothing too big. We have the essentials...diapers, onsies and sleepers. The little yasker won't need much more than that for awhile.

Nesting has begun....

Oh boy. This sudden urge to just get the house ready, and get it ready NOW! Seems to have come out of no where! We still have 5 weeks, but could be sooner, could be later....maybe that is part of my anxiety about not having the downstairs room finish. Because I don't know when. It could be any time! EEK!!
