Still waiting

I decided to take this past week off to spend some one-on-one time with Gracie since I am sure she is going to feel a little left out when the baby finally gets here. I took her out to eat at her favorite restaurant, Fazolis. That girl could live on noodles and Parmesan cheese. Next we headed off to the car wash. She has been begging me to take her there for a couple of weeks but it has been such bad weather I didn't want to waste the money. So I bought a cheap $4.00 wash at the Holiday Oil. She loved it. Too bad it didn't last longer.




My doctor and I thought that the baby would have come by now, but we are still waiting. He put me on the schedule to be induced today. I was supposed to be number 4 on list but I kept being bumped back. My doctor finally called and asked if we could bump it back to Sunday. At this point I don't really care. I am convinced he is never going to be born. I decided to go to the park and take a few pictures of us since I really haven't taken any since I have been pregnant. It's not that I don't want them, but I don't like the way I look in pictures. But we braved the cold and took a few pictures for memories sake. Well I will let you know how tomorrow turns out. I am not betting on it.

Mission Accomplished

After many hours of nagging, Frank has finally finished the nursery. He did a great job hanging the wood, painting the room and the shelves (twice) and putting the crib together. I finally have everything hung on the walls, the vinyl lettering was a bit of a chore, but we managed to not argue too much when applying it. I think I have everything is in it's place. You never know, I may rearrange in a week or two. You know me, I love to change things up all the time. It keeps Grace and Frank on their toes.

It's Party Time!

Yesterday was my baby shower. My mom and mother-in-law threw me a wonderful party. I am very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who came out to support me. I appreciate all the wonderful gifts. When he is born I will not have to worry if I will have enough clothes for him. I think he has more clothes than Frank and I combined. I am about a week away from D-day. I think I am ready. Physically I am done being pregnant, but I still have a million things I want to get done before the big day. I am not sure if it a desire to spring clean or if it just my nesting instinct starting to kick in. Either way I am feeling the need to clean my ceiling fans and shampoo my carpets.

I finally did it.

Due to much prompting from some friends I finally got my own blog! I am not sure if I will get the hang of this, seeing how I am not very computer savvy. Well I am 34 weeks and counting. My due date is April 10. I am getting excited to meet our little one. I think he is ready to come out, I guess that is why he is always kicking me. I am feeling pretty good, except for at night when I am trying to sleep. I just can't get comfy. I am very excited and thankful that I get to finally be a stay at home mom when the baby comes. Grace is thrilled. She will get to be home with me until she starts pre-school in the fall. She is excited to be a big sister but she is still hoping for a girl. Frank is doing great. He is working for IHC and is in school completing his pre-reqs to get into the nursing program. We are very proud of him. It has been a bit of an adjustment for him since the last time he opened a book to study was about 10 years ago in high school. This semester has been his toughest so far. He is taking biology. Well I better get back to cleaning the house or it will never get done this weekend.
