39 weeks ... late again!

Shoot ... I'm late posting my monthly photo AGAIN! Here's where we were about 10 days ago at 39 weeks:


Only 1 slot left for the final moments of having this baby inside! It's funny because I've already forgotten what it feels like to not be pregnant and just have a "regular" stomach. I guess the days of "regular" stomach are already over, even when I'm not pregnant anymore! So I'm told ...

So here we are at 3 days past our due date. I really am thankful to NOT be miserable like some people describe. I've had a nasty cough that H1N1 gifted me with that we can't seem to knock out, but other than that I don't feel totally desperate for this to end, which I'm thankful for! If things continue progressing (or rather, NOT progressing) like they are now, we will be headed for induction early next week. It's nice to have a finish line in mind so we know we will get to meet Elliott within a few days!!

My mom has been here for about a week and other family coming in today, tomorrow, Saturday. So fun! Feels like one big party!!

And, in case you were wondering, here's how I'm coming on my list:

~ Blog more! CHECK
~ Update my website BOO...BORING...TO-DO
~ Make and decorate Christmas cookies CHECK
~ See An Education CHECK (yes ... go see it!)
~ Buy baby things ... bottles, pack 'n play, bathtime stuff, etc. CHECK

Anything else we should be doing in our last child-less hours/days?

Hey ...just read your latest tweet about the codeine prescription...I had to take that when I got a bad cold when I was pregnant...and I literally cried because I was so excited. It saved my life. I hope that it helps you sleep so you can get better and feel good when Elliott arrives. Luv ya...and way to go on the list. :)

So you are doing VERY well on your to-do list! We can't wait for your tweet to say "he's here!" praying for you!!!

I know I was way wrong on the sex, but looks like someone has great potential to win the baby pool! :)
